Peru: huge mobilization shocked Lima
By correspondent from Lima
Today 19 January has been a decisive day for the country. Every hour and day that passes, The struggle in the streets reaches a situation only seen in moments of great changes and revolutions. Despite the massacre that ended the lives of more than 50 workers and students, the mobilizations could not be stopped. And Dina and the right, they can't govern the country. This is how Peru, is found, as we have already said, in a chronic crisis of the institutions and the entire bourgeois regime that has to be resolved in the coming days.
The Aymarazo, ended up accelerating the intensity and extension of the social rebellion, not only to the east but also to the north of the country, adding blocks in 139 places, and the mobilizations at the beginning of the week in the capital and its neighborhood of Miraflores with more than 10,000 people, They have been the warm-up to break into the Capital today with demonstrations from the early hours of the morning and that have not yet concluded, while we write these lines.
As the days go by, the possibility of Dina Boluarte's resignation and the closure of congress, It grows stronger since the only response from the Government is the one crudely expressed by the right-wing congressman, Jorge Montoya "more bullets for the vandals" and Dina herself today, stating that he will comply with the Fujimori constitution and continue the criminalization of the protest.
As a result of this policy, the civil-military dictatorship, has developed a witch hunt strategy, by authoritatively arresting several leaders of the Ayacucho Defense Front (FREDEPA), from the Plaza San Martin, intimidate leaders of the People's Assembly, selectively murder as is the case of the Cusco leader Remo Candia and add new fatalities today. All this under the fabrication that the leaders are “terrorists” or are part of an international conspiracy led by Evo Morales or the Red Ponchos., without showing reliable evidence of such a hallucination.
The second march of the 4 Yours must conclude with the tasks left by the first: break with the capitalist system
It is in this framework of a polarization (between poor majorities and rich minorities), forced by the conservative and reactionary right, that today, Thursday, what some have called the March of the 4 His. This name refers to the popular rebellion of the 2000 that ended the Fujimori dictatorship, which had the goal of not only overthrowing the dictatorship, mobilizing hundreds of thousands throughout the country, but to develop a new democracy without exploitation or oppression of one class over another.
This fundamental task was not achieved because there was a transition from a civil-military mafia political regime to a civil-mafioso democratic bourgeois political regime., who has now advanced to function as a soldier. Further proof that in a capitalist society, democracy and dictatorship, They end up alternating according to the level of the rise of the workers' and popular struggle.
And what we are observing precisely today is a new rise of the popular sectors and that there are extraordinary conditions to defeat the Government and the entire regime..
The greatest weakness of this new March of the 4 Their combativeness is not theirs, but some confusion in your program and your objectives. We want to be clear, We understand that an early election could be the concession that the power sectors could reluctantly give up., but the elections will be a new trap to achieve demobilization. Elections called within the framework of the undemocratic constitution of the 93 and the electoral college managed by Congress, Not only will it force us to choose once again between the same politicians and parties that the people reject today, postponing once again the application of immediate measures that allow us to overcome misery and injustice. Just as an example to ratify our warning about the trap of "early elections" we find it useful to repeat the recent statements of the former advisor to the transitional government of the 2000, Alberto Adrianzen, “…the way out is for Dina Boluarte to change the ministerial cabinet and move forward with the elections for 2023…”. It is a political maneuver that is re-postulated as a replacement card, in the face of the crisis of the civic-military political regime of Boluarte with the sole objective of sustaining the current institutions.
The conditions exist for popular workers' organizations, peasant and indigenous communities, the young and all those who fight, define who should govern and take the destiny of the country into their hands, calling for a Free and Sovereign Constituent Assembly in which the people decide the direction that Peru should take.
The thousands of workers from the provinces who arrived in Lima and several delegations that are being attended to on the campus of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM), They do not stop walking the streets demanding the resignation of Bouluarte and the closure of congress, and it is a duty of those of us who claim to be Socialists and Revolutionaries, to collaborate and warn so that this tremendous fight, example of bravery and class unity, is not oriented towards conciliation and support of a system that is incapable of giving the slightest response either in Peru or in the world.
That is why we will continue to accompany our people in the streets and we will fight for the unity of those who want to change everything., what we do not settle for or deceive ourselves with cosmetic changes. We call for the broadest unity of the anti-capitalist vanguard to achieve the true liberation of our people.
