Monitoring by the MOE, UNDP, and Flip organizations has revealed a significant increase in toxic communication and hostile messaging online ahead of Peru’s presidential runoff election. The report details attacks directed at journalists, media outlets, and electoral authorities. Concerningly, the analysis also identified expressions that appear to normalize political violence within the electoral context. Authorities and organizations are raising alarms about this escalating trend, fearing its potential to undermine the democratic process and incite real-world harm. The findings highlight a worrying pattern of online aggression impacting key actors in the election. This surge in negativity poses a direct threat to a fair and peaceful election outcome. Further monitoring and mitigation efforts are urgently needed to address the situation.
