	Scoop: Toledo’s Stock Continues to Fall
		A former parliamentarian and head of the tax administration agency, Merino became the country’s first female prime minister and replaces the head of the Perú Posible party, Luis Solari.
		The selection of Merino to fill the vacant prime minister position is a step in the right direction but clearly does not go far enough.
		This viewpoint is well illustrated by Lourdes Flores, an opposition candidate who ran for president in 2001, when she observed, “If the government doesn’t resolve its credibility today—a resolution based on reality and immensely open—there will be no patience for hope.” Other opposition party members share similar sentiments to those of Flores.
