Oscar Becerra – I
forced apologies
Finally, in the face of the avalanche of criticism, the Minister of Education, Óscar Becerra, had to apologize for comparing the Aymara women who arrived from Puno with their children to “animals” to participate in the demonstrations against the government. “I offer sincere apologies for some unfortunate phrases of mine that have been misinterpreted and generated criticism. I want to tell you that if any expression of mine has been wrong, I offer my heartfelt apologies.” Misinterpreted? We all heard the aggressive and ill-advised analogy he used.

And the tests?
As if that blunder had not been enough, the minister, without having any proof, questioned “the people who use children for political purposes, because there is nothing more reprehensible than that.” The day before, he had accused them of renting children to expose them in the marches. “I want to express my greetings and reiterate my respect to all the women of the country,” he said yesterday. What a way to respect women.

Aligned from Palace
But everything suggests that the apologies of the head of the Minedu would have come after a bitter coffee from President Dina Boluarte, because hours before, in an activity, the president expressed her commitment to “work for a culture that banishes that macho and patriarchal vision , because our society deserves joint work that promotes equity”. If they start at home, it would be better.
The Prosecutor’s Medal
award that weighs
The National Prosecutor, Patricia Benavides, received the Lima medal from Mayor Rafael López Aliaga for her fight against corruption and within the framework of International Women’s Day. It’s worth the recognition, but… whoever decorated her currently has the status of being investigated for money laundering. In fact, a hearing for López Aliaga was scheduled yesterday to be excluded from the case. Perhaps the most prudent thing would have been to wait for the burgomaster’s legal situation to be defined before putting on that heavy little medal, which, apparently, will cause him a new headache in the National Board of Justice.
It is not pleasant in Peru
‘Gallo’ Zamora in the crosshairs
The Plenary of Congress has on the agenda for today’s session a motion to declare Rafael ‘Gallo’ Zamora, extraordinary ambassador and plenipotentiary of Cuba in Peru, and also his wife Maura Isabel Juanperez persona non grata; both agents of Cuban intelligence. Could it be that the Foreign Ministry is waiting for such a statement to finally expel this couple? We’ll see.
