For 1990, the situation in Peru was a country in economic collapse, with an inefficient state could not meet the country's main problems. The leading candidate was the writer Mario Vargas Llosa, who formed the Democratic Front.
However, missing a few weeks before the elections, there was a total unknown in political, named Alberto Fujimori, who managed to force a runoff election on June 10, 1990 defeating Vargas Llosa. Thus began a decade Fujimori, who was characterized by authoritarianism, the defeat of terrorism, liberal reforms in the economy and the establishment of a network of corruption that was discovered at the end of government.
The nineties meant the final cancellation of the economic model, state-led governing Peru since the time of military reform. In recent years reduced the size of the state, opened the economy to international markets, and privatized a number of state enterprises, many of which had been used as political spoils by other political parties in power as the APRA.
Politically, we developed a speech against the traditional political parties and that Fujimori blamed the dire situation of the country on August 8, 1990. Using this as a pretext, April 5, 1992, Fujimori led the 1992 coup, a coup supported by the Armed Forces in which in which dissolved both houses of Congress and the judiciary intervened. After that called for a constitutional assembly to enact the 1993 constitution. However, the lust for power and corruption were the other side of this government that marked the future of the country.
