In Peru, a rather strange political situation has taken place: the president
dissolves Parliament and Parliament, in turn, displaces the president and placesthe vice president in his place. This situation, which at first glance may seemlike a dispute or a bid for power within the bourgeois liberal framework, hasdeeper roots and that today we see consolidating in a coup d'état. ---- Thearrival of Pedro Castillo to the government occurred in elections with a verytight margin. His opponent, Keiko Fujimori, denounced fraud, which could not beproven. In the 15 months that Castillo's term lasted, he could not govern, sincethe attacks from the Fujimori sector were constant from Parliament, making allhis cabinets of ministers resign and with the daily complaints and trials forcorruption against Castillo and his familyThe Peruvian right has exacerbated this situation of political instability. Inprevious years, other governments also fell, such as Kuczynski's in 2016 andMartín Vizcarra in 2020. The Fujimori sector has a strong weight at theparliamentary level. On the other hand, Castillo has lost support even from hisparty, Peru Libre. And bringing down governments that are not their own is partof the Fujimorist strategy to control political power in the country. What hedoes not achieve at the polls, he achieves in other ways. A well-known strategyused in several countries in the region in the last decade.If the situation in Peru teaches anything, it is that power is not in thegovernment or in the institutions elected with "universal suffrage." Politicalpower resides in other parts of the State, but also in the economic andideological spheres. The large economic groups in Peru associated with theFujimori right seek to control even the government, they are not content withbeing the "real power". The "anti-communist" discourse in Peru is very strong, ascould be seen last season, when Castillo was presented as a "communist" or"terrorist" by the Fujimori sector. These adjectives are not whimsical, they comefrom a long campaign initiated by Alan García in the '80s and under the fierceFujimori dictatorship in the '90s, where a policy of "dirty war" and genocide ofthe population linked to the guerrilla experiences and the use of the nickname"terruco" for any person on the left. We still have in our retina the corpses ofNéstor Cerpa Cartolini and other members of the Tupac Amaru RevolutionaryMovement in 1997, after the assault on the Japanese embassy carried out withblood and fire by the murderous army of Fujimori father, to mention an example ofthat policy. genocidal.As we can see, Fujimorism is not dead. It is part of the Peruvian politicalsystem, builds discourse and achieves adhesion. Endemic corruption at high levels(at least from the time of Fujimori and the "vladivideos" until the Odebrechtscandal that splashed the entire continent). But the problem is not corruption,it is a derivative of the power and social structure of Peru. A society with agreat concentration of wealth and power, where the indigenous and mestizo sectorsare subordinated, continuing with a deeply racist social structure from thecolonial era, among other serious problems faced by the Peruvian people; It isthere that the root of the political problems in Peru and the causes of thepopular uprising should be sought, and that various regions have declaredthemselves in "insurgency." It is not only because of the return of Castillo orthat new elections are held, they are the most heartfelt needs of the Peruvianpeople that have not been considered for centuries.Today those needs, those demands come to life in the demand for a constituentassembly that elaborates a new Constitution that supplants that of 1993, theFujimori one. The underlying problem continues to be real power and that is whatis beginning to emerge with this popular uprising in Peru. The right continues tocontrol the Political Power in the country or the people build their own force,their Popular Power that disputes in daily life the control of the economy,health, housing, land distribution, resources, that is to say, of social life.There is no other choice: those above or those below. Power of the bourgeoisieand the State or power of the people. The solution does not pass through thebourgeois institutions nor does it lie there.At the time of writing these lines, there are more than fifty compañeros from thebrotherly people of Peru, who died due to police repression. The country has beenmilitarized. Surely days and months of more arduous struggle will come, with morepeople in the streets and on the roads. The Peruvian people have an immensetradition of fighting and resistance, this conflict situation is far from over.Those above thought that the people were going to stay in their homes, but thepeople said they were present. He is on the street, in a state of insurgency.As Anarchists, we support the popular Peruvian struggle against all dictatorshipsand for the forging of their own destiny for the popular classes of Peru. TodayTúpac Amaru, Micaela Bastidas, Néstor Cerpa and all the combatants of that mostworthy brother people are present.FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF PEOPLE POWER!LONG LIVE THE PEOPLE UPRISING IN PERU!UP THOSE WHO FIGHT!LATIN AMERICAN ANARCHIST COORDINATION (CALA)Uruguayan Anarchist Federation (FAU)Brazilian Anarchist Coordination (CAB)Anarchist Federation of RosarioSister organizations:Anarchist Organization of TucumánAnarchist Organization of CórdobaSanta Cruz Anarchist OrganizationMore about this source textSource text required for additional translationinformationSend feedbackSide panelshttps://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=550355020455683&set=a.306492611508593_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
