THE ELMO MEME IS A REALITY IN MY COUNTRY
NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION
My country (PerĆŗ) is in danger, our democracy is in grave danger, our last president was ousted for allegations of corruption and while we agree that he should be investigated, we were against the vacancy.
The congress is hiding behind our constitution to make it seem that what they did was legal. They ousted the president for āmoral incapacityā, the problem is that nothing was proved so it shouldnāt be possible, not only that, but last month they tried to do the same.
Before they voted for the vacancy, there were only 60 congressmen in favor but suddenly there were 105 who voted on favor, now theyāre starting to talk, there were deals made and also threats against some of them, telling them that there wouldnāt be votes in favor their projects if they didnāt vote like them.
Our new āpresidentā, who from now on I will call the usurper, was also the president of the congress who tried before to get the armed forces on his side, doesnāt have studies, and has open processes against him. He was not chosen by us to lead the country, only 5,000 people voted for him on the congress elections, the peruvian population is of 30 millions
Not only that, but 68 out of 130 congressmen have open processes that go from money laundering to straight up murder. The new president of the congress has 52 criminal charges.
This exactly is why the congress ousted our last president, he was doing reforms to the congress so there wouldnāt be impunity, he also called for elections on April.
Weāre only 5 months away from the elections.
The congress talks that they did what they did because it was their moral obligation. We know this isnāt true, they did it because the president was against their populist laws that in the end would only damage the population and now that heās out, they can do it freely.
In the 3 days since they ousted our president, they already are trying to modify the university education reform and the SUNEDU an institution that makes sure that our education is of quality and has been closing universities that didnāt make the cut, most of them were just taking money from their students or were just money laundering, two of this āuniversitiesā are owned by two congressmen.
Other thing that one party wants to do is to free their leader Antauro Humala from prison. This man was the brother of a former president who didnāt pardon him in his term and has tried to get free for years now, but our justice system and our national assembly has not let him. Why is he dangerous? Well heās been sentences for insurrection, homicide, aggravated kidnapping, and other including a case called āAndahuaylazoā where 4 policemen were killed. And since his party voted for the ousting, they are going to ask the usurper for a pardon.
The usurper has now elected his cabinet, the premier is a man who has called our people vicuƱas and llamas, has said that femicides shouldnāt be apart from a homicide because it usually happens when they are trying to mug them or itās their fault for cheating, he also has conflict of interests. He was a minister before, but he had to step down because of a conflict he was involve in enden up with the death of 24 indigenous people.
This brings us to yesterday 12/11/2020 (11/12/2020 for you USA). MILLIONS of peruvians took the streets in different parts of the country and in other countries too, we did this since day 1 but the one from yesterday was massive.Ā Ā
It was a pacific protest, we were chanting and protesting against the usurper and the congress, nobody was violent until the police started attacking us.
There are more photos and videos but some of them are too strong, the police not only repressed us, they attacked journalists and paramedics, they didnāt let the firemen help our the woundedĀ
There were undercover cops trying to stir the protestors but got mad when we realized who they were so they shot us.
Let me make this very clear
Not with rubber bullets, with actual bullets

And now the minister of the interios, who leads our police, is saying that there were not undercover cops, that they didnāt attack us, that they didnāt use tear gas against us and our media is talking about the damage weāve done to our city WHILE THEREāS A GUY IN COMA BECAUSE THE POLICE SHOT HIM IN THE ABDOMEN TWO OR THREE TIMES, THEY SHOY PEOPLE POINT BLACK, WE STILL DONāT KNOW WHERE SOME PEOPLE IS, THEY DISAPPEARED.
Share this, and share the different posts in the Peru tag, let us be heard, we need the eyes of the world on us, we need people to know that our democracy is in danger, we need you to look at us and let the usurper and the congress know that weāre not alone and that everything they do is being monitored by the international community, let them know that they donāt have power over us.
Hereās a carrdĀ (hereās another) that explains some things, Iām sure Iām missing a lot of things so fellow peruavians please add to this post.
