Peru, or the difficulty of counting to thirty-five — Hindsite

La expresión que más se encuentra en la cobertura de las elecciones peruanas es "récord de candidatos" 21. Treinta y cinco candidatos se presentaron a la presidencia en la primera vuelta. No es un error tipográfico. Treinta y cinco. La Wikipedia en español nos dice 8 que esto produjo "una fuerte dispersión de los votos", que es el tipo de frase que se usa cuando se pretende ser educado ante el caos.

“Treinta y cinco candidatos no es señal de vitalidad democrática. Es señal de que la palabra *partido* ha dejado de significar algo.”

Lo que nadie dice en voz alta es que treinta y cinco candidatos no es señal de vitalidad democrática. Es señal de que la palabra partido ha dejado de significar algo. Cuando Keiko Fujimori quedó primera en la primera vuelta con el 17% de los votos 8, lo hizo ganando menos de uno de cada cinco votos. Roberto Sánchez, el candidato de izquierdas que se enfrentará a ella en la segunda vuelta, quedó segundo por un margen aún más estrecho. El voto de derecha se dividió en tres —Fujimori, Rafael López Aliaga y una constelación de otros cuyos nombres aparecían en papeletas del tamaño de manteles—. La izquierda se consolidó detrás de Sánchez. Este es el hecho estructural que las encuestas ocultan: Fujimori lidera en los sondeos de la segunda vuelta con un 39% frente al 35% de Sánchez 28, pero esos cuatro puntos de diferencia se asientan sobre una primera vuelta en la que la derecha ganó colectivamente más votos de los que sabe qué hacer con ellos.

Perú ha reinstaurado su Senado 9. El congreso vuelve a ser bicameral por primera vez desde 1992, lo que significa que ahora hay 130 diputados y 60 senadores, todos elegidos junto a los candidatos presidenciales en abril. Fuerza Popular de Fujimori ganó el bloque más grande —41 diputados, 22 senadores 13—, pero ningún partido tiene mayoría en ninguna de las cámaras. La legislatura está, según la expresión utilizada por la Wikipedia en portugués 13, "altamente fragmentada". Esto es lo que ocurre cuando hay treinta y cinco candidatos presidenciales: el voto se astilla también en las elecciones legislativas. La palabra coalición tendrá mucho trabajo en los próximos cinco años.

Hindsite ha indexado 482 artículos sobre estas elecciones desde que comenzó la cobertura.

La otra expresión que aparece a menudo es "crisis poselectoral" 11. López Aliaga, el empresario de extrema derecha que quedó tercero, acusó a las autoridades electorales de fraude 9 12. La Unión Europea y las autoridades peruanas lo negaron 9 13. El Jurado Nacional de Elecciones dictaminó que la primera vuelta no sería anulada 9 17. La votación se había extendido un día porque en algunos colegios electorales se acabaron las papeletas 16 17, que es el tipo de fallo logístico que se convierte, en manos de un candidato perdedor, en prueba de conspiración. López Aliaga ahora enfrenta posibles cargos penales por incitación al desorden civil 9. La segunda vuelta está programada para el 7 de junio. De aquí a entonces, la expresión "según" también tendrá mucho trabajo.

La palabra quechua para fragmentación no aparece en ninguna de las fuentes suministradas, pero sería útil. Treinta y cinco candidatos, un congreso bicameral y una ventaja de cuatro puntos en las encuestas que descansa sobre una coalición que todavía no existe. Así es como se ve contar cuando uno ha olvidado cómo hacerlo.
