Listen to the Las cosas cos son podcast channel on RPP Player.

Failed coup attempt by former president Pedro Castillo it must become a watershed in our recent political history. If Castillo attacked our democracy so clumsily, it was no doubt because he needed it. First of all, in order to evade accusations of corruption brought by the prosecutor’s office and which, on December 7, were accepted as non-appealable based on the complaint of Salatielle Marrufo. And secondly, to disguise their inability to govern the state by making demagogic attempts to polarize the country and present themselves as a victim of racism, large economic interests and limacentrism.

Pedro Castillo He never admitted that, despite the great difficulties that his candidacy went through, his election was confirmed by the electoral authorities and recognized by all state bodies. But three months after the events, we have the right to know how and who hatched the plan to put an end to our freedoms and guarantee impunity for those who were in power. This is why the video received by the congressman is important Patricia Chirinos and was originally broadcast by the Panorama program. In it, you can see Castle in complete control of the situation, but at the same time supported by characters who have tried to remain in the background.

This is especially true of the then Prime Minister. Betsy Chavez, who, according to Chirinos, acted as the production’s producer. Chavez denies any involvement in the coup attempt, but evidence against him is piling up. Also his then adviser Hannibal Torres He is trying to make us believe that Castillo did everything without the support and knowledge of people from his closest political circle. The defendants will have to defend themselves before Congress. Democracy respects rights and even recognizes criminals who rebel against it.
