Here’s what you need to know to understand this deep-rooted crisis that will shape the future of South America’s fastest-growing economy.

Analysts warn that Peru’s political paralysis could soon begin to wear down the country’s steady economic growth, which has been fuelled by mining and infrastructure investment.
