Fujimorism (Spanish: Fujimorismo) refers to the policies and the political ideology of former President of Peru Alberto Fujimori as well as the personality cult built around him, his policies, and his family, especially Keiko Fujimori, the current President of Peru. The ideology is defined by authoritarianism, its support for neoliberal economics, opposition to communism, and socially and culturally conservative stances, such as opposition to LGBT rights and school curriculums including gender equality and sex education. Opponents of Fujimorism are known as anti-Fujimorists. Since Alberto Fujimori's election, Fujimorism has continued to maintain influence throughout Peru's institutions with the assistance of the 1993 constitution, its neoliberal policies and the support of extractivism. The movement was less politically relevant during the period after Alberto Fujimori's removal as President in 2000 until 2011, when Fujimorism regained political relevance through the activities of Alberto's children, Keiko and Kenji, with Keiko's party Popular Force controlling much of the Congress of the Republic of Peru from 2016 until 2020 through a system that was constitutionally drafted by her father. Since then, Fujimorism has obtained control of the majority of Peru's governing bodies, largely because other parties have been unable to secure a significant share of votes in general elections. Keiko was later elected Peru's president in 2026.
