New achievements and positive news are needed to rekindle pride among Peruvians.
We end the year facing worrying statistics and a complex social situation. If we look beyond the classic questions of popularity and current situation, two-thirds of Peruvians do not identify any positive role that has stood out in this past year. Likewise, there is a lot of scatter between the characters mentioned, and although the question is broad and not limited to the political level, nothing stands out. Conversely, more than half of the population points to a politician in the top three negative characters of the year and the percentage of people who cannot point to a name is significantly reduced. The same trend is seen when we hear about the most important events of 2023. The positive ones are related to sports and gastronomy, while the negative ones are concentrated in politics, economic crisis and citizen insecurity. It stands out that a third of the citizens do not see any positive events and a similar number cannot mention anything.

Likewise, there is an openness to change and a willingness to support reforms that contribute to creating a better future.
