According to a poll by the Peruvian Research and Marketing Company conducted in 1997, 40.6% of Lima residents considered President Fujimori an authoritarian. 40.6%!
So back in 1992 (from How Democracies Die):
The conflict escalated. Fujimori accused congress of being controlled by drug traffickers, and in response, the senate passed a motion to "vacate" the presidency because of Fujimor's "moral incapacity." Although the motion fell a few votes short in the Chamber of Deputies, the conflict had reached a point where one government official worried that
"either the Congress would kill the President, or the President would kill the Congress."
The president killed congress. On April 5, 1992, Fujimori appeared on television and announced that he was dissolving congress and the constitution. Less than two years after his surprising election, the long-shot outsider had become a tyrant.
