During the first five months of 1992, Peru was a
republic
with a civilian government, which had a popularly elected
president, a bicameral legislature, and an independent
judicial
branch
(see
fig. 12). Peru's civilian government ended
indefinitely as a result of Fujimori's autogolpe of
April
5, 1992. The constitution of 1979 remained suspended and
its
Congress and judiciary remained dissolved during the rest
of
1992. The following sections describe Peru's legitimate
civilian
government as it existed prior to April 5, 1992.
Data as of September 1992
