In three months in office, the President of Peru Pedro Castillo has made it very clear his belonging and dependence to XXI century socialism or Castro-Chavism and the decision to repeat the plan – already applied in Bolivia – to destroy the “Peruvian Nation” and supplant it by a “Plurinational state”, carry out expropriations starting with the “nationalization of Camisea” and institutionalize a “narco-state” based on the production of cocaine.
Instability, uncertainty, insecurity and confusion seem insufficient to describe Pedro Castillo’s first three months as President of Peru, but they serve to demonstrate with absolute clarity that the country is in the hands of the same transnational group that holds power in Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua. The public intervention of Castrochavism is open with Evo Morales and the operators of the Sao Paolo Forum since before the electoral process and is discreet but not secret from the embassies of Cuba and Venezuela.
Full proof that Peru is in the hands of Castro-Chavism is given by the most solid of the policies executed by Castillo, foreign policy, with which he has passed to fully support the dictatorships of 21st century socialism and has integrated Peru to the group of countries that, together with Mexico under López Obrador and Argentina under Fernández-Kirchner, support regimes that violate human rights, cover up the existence of prisoners, tortured and political exiles and support their holding power with State terrorism.
The Castro-Chavistra technique in the first stage of their governments is to divide the opposition and national and international public opinion between those who trust the government and those who do not. Make people believe that the government is not a threat, that it will be “controllable” until its mandate expires and that it can be educated and even helped.
The formation of the Castillo government with his cabinet questioned, the crises and resignations and instability that this has produced, must be seen as mechanisms that are measuring the consistency of public opinion and of a parliament in the hands of a fractional opposition. It is about provoking to paralyze the Legislative Power or until Castillo as President can use the constitutional power to dissolve parliament, thus avoiding a majority that can declare the presidential vacancy.
The Castro-Chavism plan for Peru is confessed and it is very clear, It is about installing in Peru the model imposed in Bolivia. Castillo has expressed it without a doubt when proposing the “constituent to establish a plurinational state”, announcing confiscations and expropriations of industries such as gas with the announcement of the “nationalization of Camisea” and the opening to illegal coca crops, which are the basis for the increase in cocaine production.
The installation of a plurinational state seeks the “destruction of the Peruvian nation” to replace it with numerous nationalities that allow division, confrontation and manipulation. This model has been successfully implemented in Cuba. Bolivia and Venezuela, within the framework of the strategy of multiplication of the axes of confrontation. In the Peruvian case, as in the Bolivian case, indigenism is encouraged to divide the social base.
What they call nationalizations are confiscations or expropriations to pass profitable industries under government control, which in the case of Peru are gas, eventually fishing and mining. The result has always been the liquidation of the industry and more dependency and poverty for the peoples. The Cuban dictatorship ended the sugar industry; the Venezuelan dictatorship has destroyed the oil industry; the Bolivian dictatorship has undone the exploitation of gas.
The regimes of socialism of the XXI century are builders of narco-states because they use political power and the government to do, favor, protect and in any way participate in drug trafficking. Fidel Castro did so with the Colombian Pablo Escobar and the Bolivian Roberto Suarez as partners, and to cover up their crimes, he led to the execution of General Ochoa. Today Venezuela is the hub of drug trafficking that articulates the cocaine production of Bolivia, the FARC and the ELN of Colombia. Bolivia with the coca grower Evo Morales has legalized coca crops destined for cocaine, has expelled the DEA and increased drug production.
Peru is the second largest producer of coca in the world. The first is Colombia and the third Bolivia. With the “legalization of crops in the coca-producing basins” already proposed, Peru could be the first and with the repetition of the systems of “sovereign fight against drug trafficking” imposed in Bolivia, it will soon be another narco-state.
