He denounced the criminalization of the impending social protests in Peru

At the same time, a political analyst confirmed that the repressive preparations and the media campaign against the moves are due to the fact that the government of President Dina Polwart is afraid of people taking to the streets.

The coordinator of the National Human Rights Council, Miguel Yugo, warned as a speaker at a symposium on human rights about possible extrajudicial executions in Peru, and that the policy and rhetoric of the executive authority towards protests generates a criminalization of the right to peaceful protest.

He called on the government to ensure respect for the lives and safety of the demonstrators, and indicated that the National Council for Human Rights was concerned that the message of the executive authority might encourage the commission of violent acts.

Among those messages, he mentioned Bulwart’s statement before the first announcement of new protests, asking how many dead would they want? , referring to the 69 killed in the demonstrations against his ascension to the presidency, between last December and last January.

Yugo also cited as negative the propaganda’s use of talk recorded by a member of an armed group without meeting authority to “capture cities”, which was added to the announcement that 24,000 agents had been deployed to Lima in response to the demonstrations. .

“Fear is in the body of the rulers. They are terrified of people taking to the streets. They admit to opinion polls that completely contradict them. But panic spreads knowing that people are being mobilized,” commented analyst Gustavo Espinosa.

On the other hand, he noted that the government is boasting that it has settled after serving seven months, and warned that the leader of the coup in Bolivia, Jeanine Anez, has served one year but is sentenced to 16 years in prison. For Spinoza, the same fate would befall Poulwart.

The protests, according to the national coordinator who called them, will continue in Lima and inside the country until July 28, and will also demand speedy general elections.

They also propose a constituent assembly, demand sanctions for the perpetrators and those responsible for deaths in previous protests, and reject the presence of US forces in Peru.
