Autogolpe fallido de Pedro Castillo en Perú

 Castillo intenta disolver el Congreso, y termina destituido y preso

Por Luis Fierro Carrión (*)

Twitter: @Luis_Fierro_C

El miércoles 7 de diciembre, a las 11:48 de la mañana, el Presidente del Perú, Pedro Castillo, leyó temblorosamente un discurso en el que instaba a “disolver temporalmente el Congreso de la República”, “instaurar un gobierno de emergencia excepcional” y “convocar en el más breve plazo elecciones para un nuevo Congreso con facultades constituyentes”.

En el mismo mensaje, declaró en “reorganización el sistema de justicia, el Poder Judicial, el Ministerio Público, la Junta Nacional de Justicia y el Tribunal Constitucional”. El breve mensaje significaba que estaba lanzando un autogolpe de Estado.

Emulaba, de manera torpe y tembleque, el autogolpe de Alberto Fujimori que tuvo lugar el domingo 5 de abril de 1992. En este evento se disolvió por la fuerza el Congreso de la República, se intervino el Poder Judicial, el Consejo Nacional de la Magistratura, el Tribunal de Garantías Constitucionales, el Ministerio Público y la Contraloría General de la República. Fujimori también convocó a elecciones para un Congreso Constituyente, que produjo la Constitución que se encuentra vigente.

La diferencia entre uno y otro autogolpe es que Fujimori contaba con el apoyo de las Fuerzas Armadas.

Failed self-coup by Pedro Castillo

Failed self-coup by Pedro Castillo

30 years after Fujimori's successful self-coup, Castillo attempted to dissolve Congress and become a dictator in #Peru. He ended up impeached and in the same prison as Fujimori.

With Dina Boluarte, Peru has its sixth President in four years. This instability has thus far not generated an economic or financial crisis, but if it spreads, it could have repercussions.

Following Castillo's arrest, riots have broken out in various areas of Peru, which to date have left some 18 dead. The rioters demand the resignation of Boluarte, the immediate dissolution of Congress and the convening of a constituent assembly. That is, to continue with the attempted coup. It is unlikely that they will prevail (although they have managed to press for the acceleration of the date for new elections). The government has declared a state of national emergency.
