Elecciones 2026: ¿Qué opinan los jóvenes sobre la política en el Perú?

Peruvian youth exhibit profound disillusionment with the current political class, characterizing it as primarily self-serving and corrupt rather than dedicated to public welfare. This widespread cynicism suggests a democratic fragility rooted in the perception that politicians prioritize personal gain and frequent legislative instability over social cohesion. The prevailing sentiment indicates that the lack of trust is not merely a transient reaction but a systemic issue affecting the legitimacy of democratic institutions among new voters. To address this crisis, university students emphasize the critical need for informed voting, arguing that disinformation and ignorance are significant barriers to effective representation. They identify a lack of civic education in early schooling as a primary cause of the current political dysfunction, suggesting that without a citizenry capable of evaluating candidates based on merit and transparency, the cycle of poor governance will continue. The implication is that individual electoral choices are currently undermined by structural information gaps. This report is highly relevant to open data advocates because it highlights the urgent necessity of making public administration information accessible and understandable to citizens. The students’ calls for better engagement through digital platforms and transparency initiatives underscore that open data is not just a technical requirement but a vital tool for civic empowerment. By democratizing access to information regarding government actions and rights, societies can foster the political awareness required to rebuild trust and strengthen democratic resilience.
