Read 101 out of 130 voted for the impeachment... not aware of all the why's but that sounds pretty united.

The legislatures are usually the ones that are corrupt and co-opted by the elites. Khodorkovsky tried to do this in Russia via the
buying and selling of Duma deputies. So what we have in Peru is a coup against the legitimate president. Impeachment is a
total farce. It has never been applied to removing bad leaders. See the story with Biden and Trump.

New president is leftist too. Peruvian politics are very fragmented the last decade, so no surprise for me.

Peru's Ex-President Castillo Says US Ordered That Troops Be Deployed to Suppress Protests, 12.16.2022.

MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) - The Peruvian authorities have taken troops to the streets to suppress protests after the visit of the US ambassador to the Government Palace as Washington pursues profits in the country's mining projects, impeached President Pedro Castillo said on Thursday.

"Compatriots, attention! The visit of the US ambassador to the Government Palace was neither for free nor in favor of the country. At the meeting, the order to take the troops to the streets and massacre my defenseless people was given, and, among other things, to pave the way for the extraction of minerals, such as from Konga, Tai Maria, and other [mines]. Peruvian media will not only keep silent about this but will also easily deny it," Castillo said in a hand-written note published on his Twitter.

On December 7, Peru's parliament impeached former President Pedro Castillo. Prime Minister Dina Boluarte took an oath as the country's new president within two hours of the impeachment vote, vowing to serve out the rest of Castillo's term until July 2026. Castillo, who had tried to dissolve the parliament before the vote, was arrested after the impeachment procedure and the Peruvian prosecutor's office launched a criminal case against him on charges of a coup attempt and crimes against the state.

These events have sparked a wave of protests across the country. Demonstrators denounce the post-impeachment government and call for an immediate presidential election and termination of the country's parliament.

On Thursday, the Peruvian Supreme Court approved the pre-trial detention of Castillo for 18 months, following the request of Supreme Prosecutor Uriel Teran on Wednesday.

US sponsored "democracy" in action. This was a brazen coup and the repression is kicking in. Ukraine saw the same thing in 2014.
Street lemmings are scum, whore legislators are scum as well.

The US reiterates its support for the Boluarte government in a telephone conversation, 12.17.2022.

Previously, the dismissed President Pedro Castillo denounced that the visit of the U.S. ambassador in Lima, Lisa Kenna, to the Government Palace last Tuesday "was to give the order to take the troops to the streets and massacre the defenseless people."

The President of Peru, Dina Boluarte, had a telephone conversation with the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, on Friday.

"The president of the Republic, Dina Boluarte, spoke by phone with the Secretary of State of the White House, Antony Blinken, who reiterated the support of the United States to the government he leads," the Twitter account of the Presidency of Peru communicated.

Previously, the dismissed President Pedro Castillo denounced that the visit of the U.S. ambassador in Lima, Lisa Kenna, to the Government Palace last Tuesday "was not free, nor in favor of the country."

"It was to give the order to take the troops out into the streets and massacre my defenseless people; and, incidentally, to leave the road free for mining operations, as is the case of Conga, Tia Maria and others," the politician wrote in a letter.

In this context, the Peruvian Congress rejected this day the constitutional reform that sought to advance the general elections for 2023. Meanwhile, the massive protests that arose after the vacancy of Pedro Castillo and the swearing-in of Vice President Boluarte, as the new president of the country, continue. The violent demonstrations have already resulted in about 20 deaths.

Map shows international reaction to condemnation or support for the coup d'état in Peru in the Western Hemisphere. The reds are for Castillo, and the blues are for his opponents. Brazil is undecided, as it itself is undergoing a process of regime change.

Russia should adopt a more firm position on the events in Peru. Pedro Castillo suffered a coup from the corrupt Peruvian Congress along the lines of the Brazilian coup against former President Dilma Rousseff after the disclosure of corrupt Brazilian engineering companies meddling in practically all Latin American countries such as Odebrecht and Andrade Gutierrez. That's the reason why Celso Amorim's Brazilian foreign policy has been so mute on recent events in Lima. 
While Mexico City and Bogota have adopted an energetic criticism of Dina Boluarte, Brazilian Itamaraty has been condescendent towards her, which is an outright scandal.

Russia doesn't have to do anything here. Peru is not going to decide the course of the Russia-West or even BRICS-West competition one way or the other.

What will happen though is that the coup'd leader will make a comeback, as Morales did in Bolivia, as he has a genuine groundswell of support in the country. Thus the US has only sowed the seeds for its own demise abroad, again.

Former Peruvian President Alberto Fujimori dies at the age of 86, 09.12.2024.

The former president of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, died on September 11 in the city of Lima, from oral cancer, at the age of 86, said his daughter and leader of Popular Force (right), Keiko Fujimori.

"After a long battle with cancer, our father, Alberto Fujimori, has just left to meet the Lord. We ask those who appreciated him, to accompany us with a prayer for the eternal rest of his soul. Thank you so much, Dad! Keiko, Hiro, Sachie and Kenji Fujimori (former president's children)," Keiko said through her X account.

Hours earlier, several local media reported that the former president was in serious condition.

Fujimori went to a clinic in Lima on September 5 for a routine examination, after which he was not seen in public again.

Alberto Fujimori died five months after being released from prison, where he was serving a 25—year sentence for crimes against humanity and political corruption committed during his periods at the helm of the Executive Power — constitutional and de facto - of his country during the 1990s.

The controversy accompanied Alberto Fujimori throughout his life, starting from his own birth. During the 1990s, the political opposition to his figure accused him of falsifying his birth certificate in order to gain access to the highest political office in the country.

It was speculated for years that, in fact, Fujimori had been born in Japan and his birth certificate was adulterated, since to access the Presidency you have to be born in Peruvian territory.

The date of birth — July 28 - is the one that was assigned to immigrants who could not justify their original birth, which corresponds to the day of the declaration of independence of Peru.

Fujimori was elected to the post of president of Peru in 1990 after defeating in a runoff the renowned Peruvian writer — Nobel Prize for Literature in 2010—, Mario Vargas Llosa.
The television debate starring both of them was famous, in which Fujimori framed Vargas Llosa with a newspaper that considered him the winner before the elections and accused the writer of being engaged in a 'dirty war'.

Finally, Vargas Llosa lost those elections by obtaining 37.6% to Fujimori's 62.4%.

April 5, 1992 marked Alberto Fujimori's political career forever. Through a message to the Nation, the then president ordered the closure and dissolution of the National Congress, — controlled mostly by the opposition to his Cambio 90 party—, and the intervention of the Judiciary, the Public Ministry and the Constitutional Guarantees Tribunal (predecessor of the Constitutional Tribunal).

The main argument was the fight against terrorism of the Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path, a Maoist far-left movement) and the need to increase the powers of the Armed Forces through an agenda of anti-subversive laws.

Deafening silence from the current Brazilian authorities with what is happening with former vice-president Boluarte's Peru.
The legitimate and democratically elected Peruvian President Pedro Castillo was ousted by the Congress in a format first introduced by the Brazilian Congress when it proceeded with the impeachment of the legitimate and democratically elected President Dilma Rousseff and nominated Vice-president Michel Temer in the presidency.
This was a move with nostalgic reminiscence of the times when H. Kissinger stated that wherever Brazil went, the whole of Latin America would follow suit. At that time, Brazil was the first country in South America who underwent a coup and a military dictatorship was introduced.
At that time, the majority of Brazilians frequently bousted that their country was (is) the largest in LA and we're extremely proud of Kissinger's bluster. In other countries of the region, it was often said that Brazil played the role of proxy for  US imperialism by politically and militarily supporting other putsches in its proximity.
Deafening silence too from Brasilia with the lawfare introduced in Colombia against President Gustavo Petro.
Time for the Mexicans to react!
The US is in a steep decline, and so is Brazil currently (exemption made for trade relations with Russia).

So Lula is a us stooge then?

sepheronx wrote:So Lula is a us stooge then?

Lula is currently playing along special foreign relations advisor Celso Amorim, whose game is pandering with the West's interests in gathering support for Volodymir.

So Amorim's aim is getting a seat in the UNSC for Brazil and sit beside the US, France and GB, all nuclear powers to satisfy the Brazilian big superpower complex of the Brazilians, as the sole legitimate representative of Latin America.

Obviously, the West is aware of these intentions and play the game.

The bad for Peru is that it has a semi-presidential system and the president is depended on the parliament which is almost always against the current president because peruvian political landscape is fragmented.
