Alberto Fujimori's death has sparked a three-day national mourning in Peru, highlighting the deeply polarized views on his controversial presidency marked by corruption and human rights abuses.
Fujimori’s supporters praise his economic reforms and success against Sendero Luminoso, while critics condemn his brutal tactics and the forced sterilizations of Indigenous women.
His legacy is contested; while some view his neoliberal reforms as necessary, others argue they disproportionately harmed the impoverished citizens of Peru.
Fujimori's authoritarian measures, including a self-coup in 1992 that dismantled Congress, exemplify the contentious nature of his governance and its consequences on democracy.
