From Bully to Victim

Evo’s double standards

Demonstrating his double standards, the former president of Bolivia and Pedro Castillo’s ally, Evo Morales, left behind his seditious speeches for a moment to play the victim in the face of the ban on entering Peruvian territory. “I appreciate the solidarity of brother Peruvian lawyers who filed constitutional defense actions against the false accusations of a Fujimori congressman (…). They attack us and try to use the Peruvian Prosecutor’s Office to hide the genocide in Peru, ”he wrote on Twitter, in relation to an appeal filed on his behalf by Castillo’s former lawyer, Ronald Atencio. Even if she cries, everyone knows that if she was banned from entering, it was for inciting violence in our country.

Lawyers in Prosecutor’s Office

And, speaking of the lawyers who once stood up for the ‘professor’, Atencio and Raúl Noblecilla were summoned by the National Prosecutor’s Office for the 20th (Atencio) and 27th (Noblecilla) of this month, within the framework of a investigation opened against both of them for the alleged illegal sponsorship for having worked in the congressional office of Guillermo Bermejo, one of the alleged instigators of the violent protests. Birds of a feather flock together.

To World Economic Forum

Chancellor goes to Switzerland

In the midst of the complicated situation that the country is going through, the Government authorized the trip of Foreign Minister Ana Cecilia Gervasi to Davos (Switzerland) to participate in the meeting of the World Economic Forum from January 15 to 20. During her absence, her office will remain in the hands of the head of Justice, José Tello Alfaro. Hopefully she will take advantage of her visit to counteract the erroneous vision that some interested sectors give about the facts.

Ask Boluarte for his resignation

Sigrid’s guidelines

After the publication of the first polls of the year, the person who did not miss the opportunity to rant against the government was Sigrid Bazán (Cambio Democrático). Based on the 71% disapproval of Dina Boluarte, according to Ipsos-Perú21 and IPE polls, she said that her management “is unsustainable” and that, like this Congress, she must resign. “Elections advance now!” she exclaimed. A valid request, but I wish I had reacted the same when, in November 2022, Ipsos revealed that 66% rejected Castillo and, what is worse, 65% believed that he was immersed in acts of corruption.
