Evo Morales and the MAS seek to extend their “plurinationalist socialism” to Peru
We had already warned at the beginning of October 2021 that the presence of Evo Morales in Peru and the strong influence that he exerts in the government of Pedro Castillo and Peru Libre was growing and more dangerous.
Peru has spent more than two continuous weeks of nationwide protests against President Dina Boluarte, allegedly started from the porous Puno-Desaguadero border, then moved to Juliaca and then to Arequipa until finally ending up organizing what has come to be called “the great takeover of Lima”.
The panorama seems to be considerably complicated due to the fact that the dozens of wounded and deceased -which now total 52- in different confrontations with the police and the armed forces have been victims of shots with weapons and ammunition that are not used there, and that would have entered the country from Bolivia.
This is something that the Peruvian government minister himself has said. Investigations are currently underway.
Until now, the Peruvian intelligence services have observed that among the leaders of the Peruvian protests are Bolivian political leaders demanding the removal of President Dina Boluarte, the call for a Constituent Assembly process and the foundation of “Plurinational Peru”, a recipe applied by the extreme left of XXI Century Socialism and with which it has spread throughout Latin America, where Chile and Colombia occupy their last places.
Likewise, one of the ways in which Morales and dozens of his collaborators in the Movement for Socialism (MAS) have justified their recurring presence in Puno, has been the link with Paulino Machaca Ari, Rector of the National University of the Altiplano, and Félix Huanca Rojas, dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the same institution, who have invited them on numerous occasions, among them to grant the recognition of Doctor Honoris Causa to the coca grower chief of the Cochabamba tropics and to convene an upcoming Runasur summit near the border with Bolivia “to articulate a Plurinational America”.
But not only that, although it is by no means surprising, the competent Peruvian authorities have found that the violent demonstrations incited by Morales and members of the MAS have links to what remains of the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso.
First through Vladimir Cerrón, and then through its remaining members: Íber Maraví Olarte, involved in terrorist acts in the early 1980s, and Pedro Castillo’s former Minister of Labor, who was caught motivating the marches in Ayacucho; and Rocío Leandro Guzmán, “comrade Cusi”, who was also part of various terrorist attacks in the 1980s and 1990s, and who is accused today of financing the caravans of protesters who intend to reach Lima to overthrow Boluarte.
In the meantime, Peruvian legislators claim that their country “must be respected” with Bolivia, especially with Evo Morales and the Red Ponchos, their collaborators and advance team that would be encouraging and even openly calling for insurrection through violent protests. that seek to destabilize not only the neighboring country, but also the region, which also includes northern Chile.
While Peruvian legislators have argued that “Peru does not need Bolivia as much as Bolivia needs Peru,” Chilean congresswoman Chiara Barchiesi has held Morales responsible for the deaths of Peruvian citizens, and has also challenged Morales to be investigated whether he is also responsible for the permanent instability in Araucanía.
In short, democratic governments and defenders of individual liberties are called upon to verify the objective reality and once and for all recognize the truth of what is happening in the region, in order to act accordingly through whatever institutional mechanism they find applicable.
Otherwise, the next to be submitted will be them to replicate a new Cuba and a new Venezuela.
