How has political instability affected public trust in Peru?

Political instability has significantly weakened public trust in Peru’s democratic institutions.

As a result, approval ratings for both branches remain low, with about 90 percent of Peruvians disapproving of Congress, reflecting widespread frustration with the political system.
