100 parliamentarians denounce the interference of Petro and AMLO in Peru
One hundred parliamentarians from Latin America and Europe have signed, through Foro Madrid, a declaration to denounce the joint document launched by the governments of Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Bolivia in which they request the release of the former president of Peru Pedro Castillo after his failed coup.
The parliamentarians, from 16 different countries, denounce Pedro Castillo’s coup, affirm that his only objective was “to evade justice and not respond to the multiple complaints and investigations for corruption in which he is involved”, and support the members of the Congress of Peru that, to defend the rule of law, freedom and democracy, they had to dismiss him.
They also state that, with the joint document, the leftist presidents of Mexico, Argentina, Colombia and Bolivia “incur in a clear political interference in the internal affairs of Peru”, and warn of the intention of the tyrannies of Cuba and Venezuela, sponsored by the São Paulo Forum and the Puebla Group, to destabilize the Andean nation.
In this sense, they add that these regimes “have infiltrated a series of agents and resources in the country whose objective is to generate chaos and explode social violence among citizens, endangering the democratic order, generating an enormous cost both material as human and frontally attacking the rule of law.
Among the signatories are MEPs from Austria, Bulgaria, Poland and the Netherlands from the ECR and ID; a group of deputies from the CREEMOS party of Bolivia; representatives of the Republican Party of Chile and the National Party of Honduras; deputies and senators of the Democratic Center of Colombia; and Argentine deputies from the La Libertad Avanza party, etc. The VOX secretary general, Ignacio Garriga, the party spokesperson in the Madrid Assembly, Rocío Monasterio, and the MEP and president of the ECR-Eurolat, Hermann Tertsch, among others, have also signed this statement.
