In the face of constant attempts by the opposition to try to remove Pedro Castillo from the presidency of Peru, the leaders of Argentina and Bolivia, Alberto Fernández and Luis Arce , respectively, expressed their support and advocated respect for “democracy and the popular vote”.
Fernández, first, expressed his “concern” about what is happening in our country and, in his capacity as pro tempore president of the Community of States Latin Americans and the Caribbean, asked for “the attention of all Latin American leaders to what is happening in Peru.”
“What is happening in Peru must attract the attention of the entire Latin American community,” “I urge to see how democratic governments in Latin America can make a clearer type of expression in favor of preserving Peru's institutions,” he said.
Castillo, with eight months in the presidential chair, was saved on March 29 from being vacated by the Congress of the Republic. Faced with this, the Argentine president argued that the opposition's failure to get the votes to remove the professor from power “generated a social climate that is putting Castillo's institutional situation in crisis.”
Fernández also stated that the political situation in Peru took “a very good time” of his dialogue with Arce, as was discussed last Monday during a meeting with Chilean President Gabriel Boric.
For its part, Luis Arce declared at a press conference, on a visit to Buenos Aires, that “we want to start in the streets what was not won at the polls by the Peruvian right wing, we regret this fact.”
Along these lines, he commented that “we must respect democracy and the popular vote of the Peruvian people who decided on an option and we regret that there are glimpses that go against that democracy.”
According to experts, the president of Argentina fears that the protests over fuel and price increases in the basic basket that have been experienced 10 days ago in Peru will cross borders and attack his mandate.
It should be noted that the meeting between the two leaders took place this afternoon at Casa Rosada, where it was agreed that Bolivia will ensure a daily gas supply of 14 million cubic meters to Argentina, thus not having to implement rationing to the industry during the months of greatest demand.
CELAC CONCERNED ABOUT INSTITUTIONAL SITUATION IN PERU
A month ago, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) expressed its concern about the institutional situation in Peru. Argentine President Alberto Fernández, as pro-tempore president of CELAC, requested that the popular will expressed in favor of President Pedro Castillo be respected ; seven months ago.
In a statement, published this afternoon on Twitter, they emphasized the “need for compliance with the democratic order”. “CELAC reaffirms its commitment to democratic processes in the region and will continue to monitor developments in Peru,” the document states.
