Solidarity with protesters confirms social finance in Peru

The demonstrators also brought with them supplies from the towns they passed through before arriving in the capital and accommodation in two public universities in Lima.

Their communities raised money to rent buses that took them here and there. Cases such as that of the popular singer Yarita Lizeth, who made her contribution to the flight of protesters from the southern Andean city of Juliaca, suffered one of the highest death rates. The rate of demonstrators at protests.

Not only did the young artist lend the bus that she and her orchestra and dancers use on tours of the country, to ferry protesters to Lima, she also put a shipment of non-perishable food and bottled water in storage.

These events called into question the allegations of illegal, hidden financing of mobilization, which were made by senior officials, politicians, and the media.

In addition, these publications are denied by an exclusive monthly newsletter provided by a well-known business consultancy firm, which is accessible to international journalists.

The report analyzes the protests in the Puno region of the southern Andes, the strongest, in the first wave of roadblocks, strikes and marches last December.

The report stresses that the main source of financing the protests “is the self-resources of individuals and organizations, dues in unions and societies, and solidarity.”

Secondly, it mentions the recently elected mayors to meet the need for support from logistical support organizations, in order to establish a good relationship with the population.

In addition, he notes, “carriers and merchants collaborate with logistics and resources.”

Regarding narratives that the protests are being funded by drug trafficking, illegal mining, and terrorism, the report suggests that illegal economies have an interest in intervening to gain influence.

“However, they do not have the logistics to distribute resources with the required efficiency,” he adds, adding that social mobilization does not need it.

The Chancellor’s analysis also notes that “most of the protests were spontaneous and self-convened” and had “organization and strategy but no articulation, architects, or recognizable leaders.”

He refutes official, political and media narratives that point to former Bolivian President Evo Morales, former President Pedro Castillo, whose impeachment and arrest sparked the protests, and radical populist leader Anturo Humala as a promoter or harasser.

“None of them has the ability to strategize and hold meetings. Holding them accountable ends up giving them more importance than they have, and it empowers them,” the above assessment affirms.
