After the president peter castle ensure that the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS) agreed to send a mission to Peru to evaluate an alleged attempt at a “coup d’état in a new modality”, the retired Peruvian Navy officers who make up the Unión Naval group published an open letter addressed to the president of the Permanent Council of the organization, as well as the heads of mission of the member countries of the OAS.
“We are writing to you Mr. Jan Marten Willem Schalkwijk, President of the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS), to greet you and warn you and through you all the Representative Ambassadors of the OAS member countries, that the letter sent by President Pedro Castillo Terrones to the Secretary General of the OAS, is embarrassing for the entire Peruvian people due to the vagueness and tendentiousness of its content”, reads the beginning of the statement.
In the letter they state that they consider it “deplorable that the OAS lends itself to the nefarious intentions of President Pedro Castillo,” and that the purpose of the president would be to obstruct justice. In this regard, they reported that the head of state has not been denounced for political reasons but for serious crimes allegedly committed by him and by people close to him and his family, including the alleged crime of criminal organizationaggravated influence peddling and being an accomplice in the crime against the public administration in the form of collusion.
“All the actions being taken by the Public Ministry, the Congress of the republic and other institutions of the Peruvian Justice system, are framed within what our Constitution establishes, therefore they do not represent any risk for our Democracy but on the contrary, they are protecting it!”, declared the retired sailors.
They added that “it is very clear that the “coup” is a big lie that Pedro Castillo is employing, undoubtedly following the advice of his Cuban advisers, to confuse the international community. The one who really represents a risk for Democracy in Peru is President Pedro Castillo who, from the first day he assumed the presidency, both he and the president of the Peru Libre party, expressed their desire to change the Constitution to perennialize in the Government and implant a Marxist-Leninist-Mariateguist totalitarian regime”.
