Common ground and differences in coverage across the media analysed.
Keiko Fujimori, 51 years old, was sworn in on July 28, 2026 as the first woman elected to the presidency of Peru, following a victory on June 7 achieved with fewer than 50,000 votes ahead of Roberto Sanchez.
In her Message to the Nation, Fujimori announced the temporary deployment of the Armed Forces alongside the national police in emergency-declared zones to combat organized crime and extortion.
The ceremony in Lima brought together several heads of state and foreign leaders, including Javier Milei, José Antonio Kast, Daniel Noboa, and King Felipe VI.
Argentina and Chile interpret the presence of right-wing leaders (Milei, Kast) as a signal of consolidation of a conservative Latin American axis, while Venezuela emphasizes pragmatic diplomatic resumption initiated a few days earlier, transcending ideological divisions with Peru's new government.
While Chile and Ecuador send their sitting presidents to Lima to seal concrete bilateral agreements (security, energy), Mexico delegates former president Vicente Fox, a political opposition figure to Claudia Sheinbaum, which Mexico's press presents as the government's dissociation from the regional scene.
Argentine, Brazilian, and Peruvian coverage remains largely ceremonial, focused on the official speech and security announcements, while Spanish, French, and Mexican press emphasizes the Fujimori family's judicial past, parliamentary fragility, and low parity in the new cabinet.
