Nearly 50 protesters have been killed by police in Peru following the removal from office of President Pedro Castillo six weeks ago. Peru analyst Francesca Emanuele says that the conflict is symptomatic of Peru’s systematic exclusion of the poor and indigenous population from its political system.

Not difficult to understand the role of the US government in Peru if one knows only one thing, that the US government immediately recognized, endorsed the person who took over after President Castillo was replaced by Baluarte. Quite like the US declaring the defunct Guaidó “president” of Venezuela in place of the democratically elected President Maduro. Guaidó, of course, was never elected, he simply represented the interests of the oligarchy and the US’s business and government interests in Latin America.
