Premier Aníbal Torres praised the genocidal Adolf Hitler and showed great respect for the dictator Italian Benito Mussolini during his participation in the Decentralized Council of Ministers, in the city of Huancayo, in the Junín region. He could have cited the Incas and their huge road network, as Jack Falkon of the Jewish Association of Peru said, but he chose the dark path of Nazism. It has been criticized by the citizens, politicians and embassies of Israel and Germany.
The essayist and lawyer Bruno Pólack, author of The City That Does Not Exist and The Last Viceroy of Peru, analyzed what said the president of the Council of Ministers, who has gone around the world in international media.
“It is unacceptable for me to mention Hitler. Even the German embassy in Peru has said that Hitler is not a reference for anything at all. Not only as a genocide but as the figure he represents,” he told Infobae.
The writer considered that Aníbal Torres is “tired” of being the premier of Pedro Castillo's government, but that does not justify that “the statements are out of context and inadequate”.
“It was very clumsy. I don't think it has any closeness to a Hitlear, Nazi or fascist thought, it's very far from that. He wanted to say something historic, but it backfired. It was quite offensive, including myself,” he said.
Polack also recalled that the former Minister of Justice was one of the few squires in the presidential campaign of the current president
“I think Aníbal Torres was the character who led Pedro Castillo to the presidency; he walked all over the media, something that even Castillo himself didn't do. However, Aníbal Torres was one of the few who took on the current president's mission as squires,” he said.
CRITICIZE THE FUJIMORISTS
The essayist explained that, although the premier's words are offensive, he was surprised that Fujimorists “shout to heaven” when that political current “is closer to fascism, to arrogant and dictatorial practices”.
“Now we go the other way: Fujimorism that is so close to the far right, they are fans of Vox, and they have La Resistencia as their banner, criticizes Aníbal Torres; I would have imagined that they would have sat praised,” he said.
The writer of The City That Does Not Exist, an essay on what happened in Peru during the Chilean occupation between 1881 and 1883, concluded that he had been surprised by the “hypocrisy of Fujimorism” when “they have Alberto Fujimori, Vladimiro Montesinos and Santiago Martín Rivas in their saints”.
