The journalist pointed out that “the minimum required for someone who had run for vice president of Peru was to put herself in the center,” but that, instead, the president has chosen to “entrench herself” in office, taking the path “less advisable “. In addition, he called Alberto Otárola a “political bug”.
The renowned journalist Cesar Hildebrandt spoke about the latest events coming from the foreign press and cited in the middle The Economist to point out that the government of the president Dina Boluarte had turned Peru into a “hybrid, where there is no democracy anymore.” “It is a semi-dictatorship, it is a quasi-democracy, it is a monstrosity, that is what we are”the press man specified in his Monday podcast.
He also stressed that “it was sung that Dina Boluarte was going to opt for the least advisable path.” “The minimum required for a Marxist-Leninist person who had run for vice president of Peru Libre was for her to put herself in the center,” she added. Instead, “the first thing she did was entrench herself and, of course, when she took Otárola to the PCM, things got very ugly.”
For Hildebrandt, the latest provisions made by the Executive, which include the implementation of states of emergency and curfews in different sectors of society, confirm the idea of existing quasi-democracy in a “obstinate government, now, firmly, in staying until the 2026”.
“The President of the Council of Ministers, Alberto Otárola, is convinced that this is how he will achieve peace, but it is a weak peace, because it is a peace that is not political peace, it is a peace with caterpillars, with threats, with soldiers. , with tanks. That is not peace, that is the peace imposed by an enemy army, foreign troops, not the one imposed by a government. And Mrs. Boluarte lets him act like that, because Mrs. Boluarte is condemned to serve Otárola because She has no idea what is happening,” the journalist said about it.
Along these lines, he affirmed that “the cost is going to be that this becomes a dictatorship”, in which “Congress and the Executive, now openly allies” underestimate the protesters, deploying all the machinery of the State “in operation to wipe the protest off the map”.
In addition, he stressed that Boluarte “has no idea, he has no program, he has no initiative, he has no coherence, he has no respect for himself or for his ideas, which he has already lost,” which is why “the Government has given him to Otárola”, whom he defined as a “political bug” who insists on a “strong hand” without the possibility of dialogue despite the fact that “all historical teaching tells us that a movement like this is not repressed like this”.
“In what will all this end? Well, it is not known, perhaps in a government that in fits and starts and with blood, and in a semi-dictatorship, reaches 2026. Is that what they wanted? Did we want that? Very good,” concluded the man from press.
