Chancellor Gervasy regrets that some countries have “prioritized ideological affinity over support for the rule of law.”

Within VII CELAC Summitwhich took place in Buenos Aires, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ana Cecilia Gervasi, spoke about hints regarding the current situation in Peru. In this regard, he distinguished the peaceful protest of historically marginalized sections of the population from “violent actions to overthrow the constitutional order and achieve political goals that these groups cannot achieve by constitutional means.”

With regard to deaths due to acts of violence, Chancellor Gervasi stated that “the prosecution conducts investigations with full autonomy and accompanies National Police in action to combat violence and protect people’s lives, of the 33 million Peruvians who are the true victims of this situation of violence.”

In this vein, he questioned that “some governments from particularly close countries did not accompany Peru in this difficult institutional situation and rather prioritized ideological proximity, unconditional support for the rule of law and constitutional continuity.”

In her address to the Heads of State and Government of Latin America and the Caribbean, the Minister for Foreign Affairs called on members SELAC so they “support the only democratic and institutional way out of this crisis: early general elections, so that the people of Peru, sovereignly and without any interference, decide their future in peace and freedom”, and also “reject all measures aimed at disrupting stability and democratic institutions in Peru”.
