Death of Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori Sparks Renewed Debate Over Legacy
Fujimori's passing at 86 ignites discussions on his controversial administration, human rights abuses, and the future of Fujimorism in Peru.
- Alberto Fujimori, former Peruvian president, died on September 11, 2024, at age 86 from cancer.
- Peru declared three days of national mourning, with flags at half-mast and a wake at the Ministry of Culture.
- Fujimori's administration is remembered for economic reforms, defeating the Shining Path guerrillas, and significant human rights abuses.
- Ongoing legal cases, including those on forced sterilizations, are impacted by his death, but victims and human rights groups continue to seek justice.
- Fujimori's death may bolster the political ambitions of his daughter, Keiko Fujimori, and the resurgence of the right-wing Fujimorism movement.
