Dina Boluarte Out! Immediate closure of the Congress!
The people’s organizations must govern!
Immediate call for a Constituent Assembly!
Since last December 7, when Pedro Castillo was dismissed by the Peruvian Congress, the Peruvian people launched a mobilization and protest in the streets and highways of the country. The demonstrators and workers’ organizations demand the resignation of Dina Boluarte, who fraudulently replaced Castillo, enthroned by a corrupt Congress controlled by the ultra-right, and at the service of the interests of the Peruvian big bourgeoisie, the mining transnationals that plunder the country and the military.
It acts as a highly authoritarian government that has been established with military support and has unleashed the most brutal repression against social protest. More than fifty people have been killed by official bullets, many minors among them, plus hundreds arrested. Many journalists also denounce the police aggression to which they have been exposed, as well as the persecution of human rights defenders.
A few days ago, the seizure of Lima, the capital city, was called for and carried out, in which streets the war treatment of the protest was repeated, with the University of San Marcos being raided and hundreds of people being detained in the university campus itself. The struggle continues and in the coming days it will surely intensify.
It is essential that we show solidarity with the struggle of the Peruvian people, support their demands and pressure the government and the military to stop the repression and the massacre of demonstrators. Let us demand that the government of Gustavo Petro break diplomatic relations with the illegitimate government of Dina Boluarte.
We invite the trade unions and social organizations of Colombia to join the protest sit-in in front of the Peruvian embassy in Bogota on Tuesday, January 24 at 2 pm.
