Evo Morales says that Peru is experiencing an “insurrection” against the “colonial state”

The former president of bolivian Evo Morales He maintained this Sunday that Peru is experiencing an “insurrection” against the “colonial state” and ratified his support for former president Pedro Castillo and the “mobilized Peruvian people” who demand these “profound changes.”

Morales (2006-2019) referred to the matter in an act in the central region of Cochabamba to celebrate the “Day of the Democratic and Cultural Revolution” that commemorates his first electoral victory in the general elections held on December 18, 2005 in Bolivia.

According to the ex-governor, his party, the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS), prevented Bolivia from having “an armed struggle” as, in his opinion, is happening in Peru.

“What Peru is experiencing is not a simple demand, the closure of Congress, new elections, no, this is an insurrection of the Peruvian people against that colonial state of Peru,” he said.

For Moralesan insurrection “is not resolved with a reform of the Constitution”, nor with repression, but with the “refoundation of that country” and insisted that “Peru is looking for a refoundation”.

The former Bolivian president declared himself “surprised” to learn that the Peruvian Constitution supposedly prohibits having public companies and questioned that the “Peruvian oligarchy has shielded itself by the Constitution.”

Morales He ratified his support “for brother Pedro Castillo”, of whom he said that “he is not alone” and also “for all the Peruvian people mobilized asking for these profound changes in democracy.”

Evo Morales, close to Castillo, has been very active on social networks with opinions on the crisis in Peru and messages to defend the former Peruvian president.

After more than a week of protests and mobilizations that unleashed acts of vandalism and clashes that left 23 dead in the country, this weekend the incidents decreased, while the security forces indicated that they were retaking control of internal security.

The protests began on December 7 in various regions of Peru, especially in Lima and the southern Andes, after Congress removed Pedro Castillo from the country’s Presidency after attempting a coup.

The demonstrators demanded the resignation of President Dina Boluarte, who replaced Castillo by constitutional succession, and the closure of Congress, as well as the calling of general elections and a constituent assembly.

Boluarte, who defends the constitutional legality of his management, has sent a bill to advance the general elections in the country to December 2023, a decision that is still pending resolution by Congress.
