To many Peruvians, particularly the young and the left-leaning, Mr. Vizcarra’s move is a chance to wipe the slate clean and finally reform the corrupt political system, which allowed the country’s traditional political parties to divvy up power and economic patronage at the expense of the country’s development for decades. A less vocal section of Peruvians, however, has expressed concern about repeating the mistakes of 1992, when the country last…
