Vizcarra was voted by a large majority in Congress, after complaints that he was involved in corruption cases while he was governor of a province in the Mukijoa region (south) between 2011 and 2014. Although he denied the aforementioned accusations and the described as political, Vizcarra did not resist the actions of Parliament. Perhaps fearing for his life, according to speculation by experts on Peruvian affairs, Al-Akhbar met with them in London. The latest move preceded a failed attempt to isolate Vizcarra last September, also orchestrated by Merino. In this context, constitutional lawyers question the validity of the justifications for the removal of the president under the Peruvian constitution, especially because determining the relevance of these justifications or not depends on the Constitutional Court, whose decision is supposed to precede the decision of parliament. of implementing removal procedures.
Vizcarra, who assumed the presidency in 2018, represented for the new Peruvian generation the hope of leaving the state of frustration that the country has experienced for two decades, after he sought to eradicate corruption from public life and embark on a collision course with a parliament full of representatives of the bourgeois class that dominates the country. This led, earlier, to Vizcarra making use of his presidential powers to dissolve Parliament in September 2019 and call new elections, which did not involve any major change in the composition of the centers of power in the Council, which deepened the political impasse. Given his lack of support for political parties, Vizcarra, the independent, always needed the cooperation of an objectively hostile parliament if he wanted to pass any of his reform bills. His term was scheduled to expire on July 28, on the eve of the celebration of the bicentennial of the founding of an independent republic in Peru.
The contemporary history of Peru is full of stories of corruption by presidents and senior politicians due to their involvement in accepting bribes, especially by the main Brazilian companies that have broad interests in the country, especially in the construction sector. . Vizcarra assumed power to succeed former President Pedro Kuchinsky in March 2018, after the latter resigned under threat of dismissal due to corruption cases in which he was involved while he was a minister in the government of President Likandro Toledo (2001-2006). Toledo is currently awaiting his extradition from the United States due to bribes he allegedly received, while President Alan García (2006-2011) committed suicide in 2019 as he was about to be arrested on corruption charges. President Olanta Humala (2011-2016) is in preventive detention due to improper donations. He gained legitimacy on behalf of his presidential campaign, while Kuchinsky was under house arrest, and Alberto Fujimori was sentenced to 25 years in prison for corruption, war crimes, and widespread human rights violations upon assuming power throughout the decade. 1990 when he eliminated the armed Marxist popular resistance that had been fighting since 1980 for a just society for all Peruvians.
The contemporary history of Peru is full of stories of corrupt presidents and high-ranking politicians
Vizcarra’s attempts to implement far-reaching political, judicial, and educational reforms have enjoyed unprecedented popularity. In a general popular referendum, the majority of Peruvians voted to approve their plan to reform the Board of Judicial Appointments and its procedures for the election of judges, prohibit the reelection of deputies on more than one occasion, and tighten regulations related to financing. of organizations and political parties. In his first impeachment attempt (last September), 91% of Peruvians said, in opinion polls, that they support him to remain in his legal term as president and then face legal charges against him, which it is permitted by Peruvian law which grants the president temporary immunity from prosecution. He remained in office, and a comparable percentage believed that what was driving the isolation efforts were corrupt interests. In contrast, the majority in Peru – both the working class and broad sections of the middle class – view parliament as a tool of the corrupt ruling class and businessmen, and do not represent the interests of the people.
Faced with immense public pressure that threatened to become a full-blown revolution, Merino did not complete his week as replacement president and was forced to resign on November 15, with the encouragement of Parliament, which quickly replaced him with the elderly Francisco. Sagasti, a 76-year-old centrist politician and member of the only party. Those who voted en bloc against the removal of Vizcarra. After being sworn in as interim president on November 17, Sagasti was quick to recognize the right to anger of the new generation of Peruvians and the need to restore the country’s political system. However, by virtue of his short tenure, if he continues, he is not likely to harm the interests of the corrupt or implement radical political changes, which would actually lead the political battle to the next April elections. But the new revolutionary dynamic that has emerged so prominent this month will be a solid sword over all those who wish to run for the sinister office in Lima, where the new generation has replaced the explosives and Kalashnikovs of Marxist smartphones and popular clashes, but he retained the same resentment against the corrupt class.
According to experts and academics concerned with Latin American affairs, these new revolutionary dynamics that Peru has witnessed in recent weeks are just part of a wave that is sweeping through most of the countries of the continent whose societies have been exhausted by rotten and corrupt bourgeois regimes. during decades of monopolizing politics and confronting Marxists with systematic violence and blind dependence on the American neighbor. . The Corona pandemic presented something of a shocking experience for young men and women, most of whom were born after the beginning of the second millennium, as the education and health systems collapsed in most of the continent and the toll of the epidemic reached tens of thousands (Peru is the third highest mortality rate in the world compared to its population). Difficult economic conditions millions of people have fallen into poverty, at a time when the socialist regimes that have resisted long years of Western blockade – Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua – have managed to contain the epidemic and limit its victims to a small number, and even their medical cadres helped developed countries. There is no doubt, according to these experts always, that the ruling classes in the right-wing regimes will find that their destinies will be different from today, and the Americans will suffer great difficulties in curbing the aspirations of their peoples.
