In total more than 100 thousand people mobilized throughout the country, calling for the resignation of the coup leader Dina Boluarte in Peru. Again there were arrests and injuries. In spite of a gigantic repressive operation and a campaign of fear for several weeks, a multitude participated in the streets of the so-called Third Seizure of Lima this July 19. 

The central demands were, besides the departure of Boluarte and the resignation of the entire Congress, a Constituent Assembly to re-found the country. Regarding former president Pedro Castillo, an important sector of the organizations demanded his reinstatement in office, while other sectors demanded immediate elections.

Faced with the critical situation that the Peruvian people are going through, especially the peasant and indigenous sector of the country, La Via Campesina is in full solidarity with the feelings of the people who at this moment are being criminalized and losing their lives in the streets of the country.

On Saturday, December 17, the Peruvian intelligence police, DIRCOTE, raided the premises of the Confederación Campesina del Perú – CCP, to arrest and interrogate the peasants who were gathered there. For over 14 hours, dozens of them were held against their will in the CCP premises. The police also denied the lawyers (who speak native languages) to access to premises – thus effectively undermining the guarantee to the right to defense of all without discrimination. The CCP premises served as a place of refuge and care for hundreds of peasants who had come from various parts of Peru to exercise their right to protest.

We denounce the persecution of peasant and indigenous leaders, members of the organizations Confederación Campesina del Perú, FENMUCARINAP and the Confederación Nacional Agraria – CNA, who are part of La Via Campesina; as well as other national and local indigenous leaders, for whom we call to be vigilant about their lives and fundamental rights. Being leaders does not make them terrorists! Stop criminalizing peasant struggles!

We also denounce the serious violation of human rights that the illegitimate government of Dina Boluarte is exercising against the population that is mobilizing in this context of political crisis. We condemn the assassination of 20 people (official figure recognized by the Peruvian State), three of them minors, and the serious situation in which half a thousand people are injured. We demand immediate justice for the victims and their families.

We condemn the use of the “State of Emergency” imposed by the government to assassinate, intimidate and criminalize the demonstrators.  The majority of the affected people are part of indigenous peoples who have historically been violated and ignored in their struggles and demands.

We embrace the demands of the peasant and indigenous movement of the country to demand the advancement of National Elections and the closure of the Congress. The peasant and indigenous organizations are demanding a Plurinational Constituent Assembly process, as a structural solution to this political crisis and in favor of Food Sovereignty and Peasant Rights.

Four years after the adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants (UNDROP) we need to echo the serious violation of the rights of peasants and rural peoples that is taking place in Peru and around the world. As a global movement representing millions of peasants around the world, La Via Campesina calls on social movements and international institutions to ensure that these events do not go unpunished and to support the demands of the Peruvian people that contribute to the consolidation of a real democracy that responds to the popular will and the full rights of the population.

Stop criminalizing the peasant struggles and the Peruvian people!

Globalize the struggle, globalize hope !

Heard about your whacky president, and hope things aren't too chaotic over there for you all.

Hey!! Yes, unfortunately there are protests all across Peru from Pedro Castillo's followers. It's a shitshow right now, and although I don't agree with the protestors and less with Castillo, I don't agree at all how the police and military are handling the protests, 9 people are dead now.

I, right now, am not in Peru anymore. I moved away for the purpose of studying. And tbh, even if I miss my friends, family, and the food, I'm glad that I am far away from all of that right now.

Welp, I really would like to think that my country can do better, but at this point we have chosen 7 corrupt consecutive presidents, so who knows.

A power-crazed president. A coup plot centered around an armed group taking over the meeting place of the country’s law makers.

No, I’m not talking about Trump and the terrorists who invaded the US Capitol in January of 2021.

Events in two other countries reminded us on Wednesday that we constantly need to stand on guard for democracy.

First to Peru. 🇵🇪

Peru president removed from office and charged with 'rebellion' after alleged coup attempt

Peru’s president, Pedro Castillo, has been removed from office and detained on charges of “rebellion” after he announced he would shutter congress and install a “government of exception” – just hours before he was due to face an impeachment vote.

[ ... ]

In a televised speech, Castillo said he would temporarily shut down congress, launch a “government of exception” to rule by decree and called for new legislative elections.

The move immediately prompted mass resignations from the cabinet, and accusations that Castillo had attempted to seize power illegally.

“I strongly condemn this coup d’état and call on the international community to assist in the democratic re-establishment of democracy in Peru,” tweeted the foreign minister, César Landa, as he announced his resignation. “Castillo took this decision without my knowledge or support.”

Castillo’s bid to avoid an impeachment vote swiftly turned into an own goal as the armed forces and the police withdrew their support, saying, in a joint statement, that Castillo’s move was “contrary to the established constitutional order”.

Meanwhile, Peru’s constitutional court called Castillo’s decision to dissolve congress “a coup” and said the leader was no longer in charge of the country.

[ ... ]

Castillo became president winning by the narrowest of margins in June 2021, shaking up the country’s entrenched class system.

[ ... ]

But the novice president made numerous blunders, appointing barely qualified ministers and accumulating allegations of corruption and influence trafficking linked to his family and allies, which were investigated by the public prosecutor’s office.

[ ... ]

The public prosecutor’s office confirmed late on Wednesday that Castillo had been arrested and charged with allegedly “breaching constitutional order”, after he was accused of an attempted coup and seen fleeing the presidential palace.

Earlier in the day, the country’s national police tweeted that “former president” Pedro Castillo had been detained, shortly after congress voted to remove him.

And meanwhile in Germany. 🇩🇪

'Glimpse Into the Abyss': Germany Takes Out Far-Right Coup Plotters

German police carried out massive raids on Wednesday on a suspected far-right terrorist network which was allegedly plotting to violently overthrow the government.

The network was headed by a minor aristocrat and contained special forces soldiers and a former MP.

Germany’s public service-run Tagesschau reported that with 3,000 police officers targeting 130 locations, the raids were probably the biggest anti-terror operation in modern German history.

The network belonged to the radical Reichsbürger (“Reich citizens”) scene – followers of a distinctly German strand of sovereign citizen ideology, who believe the modern German state is illegitimate, and controlled by a shadowy “deep state.”

Prosecutors said the group believed in a mix of conspiracy ideologies including QAnon, and had even tried to establish contacts with representatives of Russia, who they delusionally believed would help them achieve their goals. 

[ ... ]

The morning raids targeted 130 locations across 11 German states. Twenty-five suspects were arrested, including one in Austria and another in Italy, with 22 accused of being members of the alleged terror network, and three others of having acted as supporters. All but one of the arrested suspects were German nationals, bar one Russian national, referred by prosecutors only as Vitalia B, in line with German privacy laws, who is alleged to have helped the network’s attempts to establish contacts with Russia.

[ ... ]

“This isn’t just one of the biggest raids against the far right in Germany in years, it’s actually the largest anti-terror raid ever here,” said Nicholas Potter, an expert on right-wing extremism at the Amadeu Antonio Foundation, a Berlin-based anti-racism organisation..

[ ... ]

“Their plans were very concrete: they wanted to attack the energy grid, storm the Bundestag, establish a ‘new state order’ with their own ‘shadow cabinet’ in waiting, and try state prosecutors and judges at a trial they call Nuremberg 2.0. They wanted civil war. And they allegedly wanted it before Christmas. This is terrorism.”

So in Peru, Pedro Castillo was removed from office and arrested on the same day he tried to shut down Peru’s Congress. That’s what should have happened here on January 6th. Just as Castillo had desired to “rule by decree” Trump has since talked about terminating the US Constitution.

In Germany, an armed far right group with connections to QAnon (and perhaps Russia) was plotting to storm the Bundestag and seize control of the government. That plot is an echo of what happened at the US Capitol. There are still armed extremist groups in the US who are prepared to use force to forward their agenda.

Regardless of country, the real conflict in the world these days is between democracy and tyranny. Those of us who prefer democracy cannot afford to become distracted by minor internal divisions.

A protest in solidarity with Peru’s Indigenous and poor peoples and against the military and police massacres was held across from the United Nations headquarters in New York City on March 31. Since Peru’s elected President, Pedro Castillo, was overthrown and jailed on Dec. 7, 2022, hundreds of Peruvians have been beaten and killed for protesting the coup.
