Mario Vargas Llosa talks about the crisis in Peru
In a recent interview for the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, the writer referred to the political and social situation in the country and in Latin America.
“I have the impression that Peru has been screwed up much more; well, Latin America in general. Latin America, with the exception of Uruguay and Ecuador. Brazil, screwed; Argentina, screwed; all of Central America, screwed. And Colombia, with Petro , which has sent a fierce message against Peru because it says that the right has kidnapped Castillo!”, he declared.
