The process takes place in a scenario in which Peru has registered 9 presidents in 10 years, and constitutional terms should be five years. Survey data indicate that 90% of Peruvians express little or no confidence in the government and the National Congress. Furthermore, only 10% of Peruvians say they are satisfied with democracy in the country, a situation that researchers classify as "chronic distrust".
