00:00And now we go to Peru, where President Keiko Fujimori's approval rating falls to 28%
00:04amid concerns over the economy, insecurity and her approachment with the United States.
00:11A recent poll revealed that citizens are dissatisfied with the President,
00:15following the hardening of her rhetoric and her institutional and international strategy.
00:20In this scenario, 62% of the population considers the economic situation unfavorable,
00:26while 64% rates the job market negatively.
00:31Peruvians also reject measures such as the unification of the police and armed forces,
00:36as well as budget cuts to education.
00:45Also, the differences in fuel prices between Ecuador and Peru promote the informal cross-border trade
00:52of gasoline, diesel and gas for domestic use,
00:54highlighting the challenges involved in border control.
00:58The situation can be observed in Playa Azul in the Peruvian district of Aguas Verdes in the Tumbas region,
01:05across from the Ecuadorian city of Guaquillas in the province of El Oro.
