Opinion: with 25 dead in a few days, some say Peru is on the brink of civil war

The president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, announced on Sunday that she is dismissing her prime minister, Pedro Angulo, in the context of the political crisis in the country, which has so far resulted in the death of 25 citizens in protests demanding the calling of early elections and the release from prison of the country’s former leader Pedro Castillo.

The Peruvian president has informed that she will change the country’s prime minister, who has been in power for ten days, as part of a cabinet reshuffle that will take place between Monday and Tuesday.

Thus, she said that she is looking for an Executive that knows the technical part but is “a little more political to be able to face” the social discontent “and build bridges of dialogue”, as reported by RPP radio station.

Boluarte has indicated that dialogue should be prioritized in the framework of the political crisis: “This government should be open-door dialogue in the ministries with the new rulers, as well as the Congress”, she said in her first interview with the media since she was sworn in.

In addition, the president criticized a “macho political revenge” according to some political sectors, in reference to the fact that she has become the first woman to hold the position in the history of the Latin American country.

“I am not from a different election. They told me that if they vacate Pedro Castillo, they can assume all but Dina Boluarte. It is a macho political revenge”, she assured before adding that she is not “a traitor”: “I am president in compliance with the Constitution”.

The days of leftist violence in which Peru is surviving show us the moral degradation to which, in its lust for power, the Socialism of the 21st century (the narco-chavism of the São Paulo Forum for greater precision) has reached.

A few hours after Pedro Castillo’s coup d’état was stopped by the Armed Forces, and after some babbling about the mental state of that unworthy communist (redundancy), the Bolivarian left ordered the attempt to subvert the constitutional order to continue in the form of coordinated violence.

The seizure of three airports, blocking of the main highways, and assault on the large gas plants and agro-export companies are no coincidence.

The illegitimate interference by four nations controlled by the São Paulo Forum, such as Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, and Colombia, have done their part to aggravate the situation.

Interference in a free and sovereign Peru that needs to recover democratic normality was lost since the day Castillo’s dubious electoral triumph was made official.

Peru is living dramatic hours due to the paralysis of the new Peruvian president and until a few days ago, Castillo’s aide-de-camp, Dina Boluarte, but also due to the conscious decision of the communists of Vladimir Cerron to continue Castillo’s coup by other methods.

Let us remember, and let us not forget, that in his message to the nation, the coup leader Castillo ordered the suspension of the Congress, the reorganization of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and the courts of Justice, and the immediate holding of constituent elections for the creation of an Assembly mandated to elaborate a new Constitution.

This is point by point, the plan that the São Paulo Forum has set in motion in all the countries it governs, and it is, what a coincidence, the same thing that is now demanded by the violent ones launched by Bolivarianism to the neuralgic centers of the former Viceroyalty.

Experience leads us to distrust that the new president, after all, she is only a radical leftist, will be able to give the precise orders to the Armed Forces to help an overflowing National Police and firmly and proportionally restore the political order and social peace without which there is not, and cannot be, the Rule of Law.

Peru mustn’t succumb to the violence that we have known in so many other countries of the Iberosphere, which is always the prelude, through cowardice or irresponsibility, to the victory of communism.

The appeals from the European Union to “an open and inclusive dialogue” to overcome the crisis in Peru should make us ashamed.

There is nothing to negotiate, and much less with cheesy adjectives (they only lacked resilience and sustainability), with social communism, which is the main threat to both the freedom and sovereignty of nations and the prosperity of their inhabitants.

Castillo is irrelevant in this new coup d’état. The violence that has been unleashed in Peru is the work of far more powerful enemies than this madman in a Chotano hat.

In a few days, when Lula da Silva takes the presidency of Brazil, won with well-founded suspicion of electoral fraud, Peru will be cornered and will succumb if the little that is decent in the Government, the constitutionalist deputies in Congress, and the Peruvian Armed Forces do not defend the Constitution tooth and nail.

To do so, they should start by withdrawing the Peruvian ambassadors in those Bolivarian countries hostile to democracy and denouncing before the Organization of American States the coup d’état they are encouraging and which has not yet been completed.
