Peruvian journalist Jhon Cano Nova criticized the frequent removal of presidents, urging citizens to inform themselves about candidates amidst ongoing political instability.
In an interview with MILENIO Noticias, Jhon Cano Nova, a journalist from Show.pe in Peru, described the repeated ousting of presidents in the country as a "witch hunt". He pointed out that the political landscape leaves Peruvians anxiously waiting each year to see whether Congress will manage to remove the sitting president. This situation reflects deep-rooted instability and unrest within Peru's political system.
Cano Nova emphasized the alarming trend where politicians seem more focused on social media popularity—aiming for the best selfies and highest likes on platforms like Facebook and YouTube—rather than having substantial policies to improve the lives of ordinary Peruvians. He criticized this superficial approach to campaigning, suggesting that it diverts attention from candidates who have the potential to genuinely assist the populace in overcoming their socio-economic challenges.
The journalist concluded that the driving force for progress in Peru is its citizens, who are increasingly disenchanted with the political class. Their frustration grows as they encounter politicians who prioritize image over actionable plans, highlighting a broader issue of political disillusionment where effective leadership is overshadowed by the quest for personal popularity.
