Peru - November 14, 2020.
WORKER AND PEASANT PERU WAKES UP
Neither Vizcarra, nor Merino, nor the Congress of corrupt politicians,
lackeys of the Yankees!
Out with NAFTA and the Yankee bases!
Everybody out, nobody left!
OPEN THE ROAD TO THE REVOLUTIONARY
GENERAL STRIKE!
Open the road to the worker and peasant alliance!
Let the CGTP break with the bourgeoisie!
For a revolutionary provisional government of workers and peasants!
In order to conquer bread, jobs and land. The expropriators must be expropriated!
After the second vacancy motion in these two months, Congress, supported by the reactionary Fujimori constitution of '93, finally approved this Monday, November 9 (by 105 votes in favour, 19 against and 4 abstentions) the vacancy against Vizcarra, "for permanent moral incapacity", due to a complaint that he received 2.3 million soles (639,900 dollars approx.) in exchange for public works contracts when he was governor of Moquegua between 2011 and 2014. Thus, there is a political crisis of those at the heights with the vacancy of Vizcarra and the president of Congress, Manuel Merino de Lama taking office, who is one more businessman of the rotten Fujimori regime.
In the midst of the political crisis, the workers and the exploited can no longer endure the situation of misery and struggles. They waged a struggle with an upward trend such as health workers who are on an indefinite strike. Through the gaps in the heights they break into independent mass actions against the rotten regime where it is put at the order of the day as an immediate perspective to sweep away the entire corrupt Fujimori regime and its constitution of '93 and its murderous Merino government that is at the service of the gringos. Everybody out, nobody left! Neither Merino, nor Vizcarra, nor their Fujimori puppet Congress lackey of imperialism, the transnationals, under the tutelage of the Yankee military bases! The people want the fall of the regime!
The bourgeoisie is terrified by the political crisis that it has not been able to close for years. Vizcarra and the regime tried to make up the rotten parliament with new faces at the beginning of this year and previously also gave their approval to the municipal elections of 2018, they tried to varnish it as "democratic", a regime that is sustained by the Armed Forces, the police and the bases of the Yankee Marines, for this reason –in the eyes of the exploited- were only patches of ephemeral duration sustained at all times by Frente Amplio Unios (Broad Front ) which gave the Congress a quorum session after session.
It is that the entire state apparatus and its figures are plagued with complaints of corruption such as Toledo (prisoner), Alan García (committed suicide before going to jail for his link with Odebrecht), Humala (investigated for payments from the construction company to his campaign ) and Kuczynski (currently under house arrest). Also, Keiko Fujimori is under house arrest for complaints in relation to the financing of her electoral campaigns.
In Peru, the political crisis is exacerbated by the economic, health and social crisis in the midst of the pandemic. Vizcarra, as a lackey of the IMF and Wall Street, advanced in unloading the crisis of the capitalists on the backs of the Peruvian workers and exploited. The external debt, which at the beginning of the year represented 22% of GDP (S / 140,000 million), is expected to reach 35% of GDP (S / 245,000 million) by the end of the year. That debt is being collected by the IMF with a stick and with a slap from the working class while the Peruvian sol is devalued against the dollar.
The pandemic was the perfect excuse for all the businessmen of the National Confederation of Private Business Institutions (CONFIEP), the government and the Fujimori regime. With this, Vizcarra militarized Peru with the endorsement of Congress and until the end of November the curfew is in force from 11 at night to 4 in the morning. This guaranteed to the police and the Armed Forces to act with total impunity to repress and shoot the exploited, and even with reports of rape of young women, with arbitrary arrests of informal traders, the unemployed, doctors and nurses. In the deep Peru of the regions, the looting of the big corporations, of the mining transnational companies continues, that without contemplation contaminate the lands of the poor peasants. As we can see, the Vizcarra government, under the tutelage of the Yankee marine bases, imposed the plan of imperialism with repressions, jail and death. Now comes Merino, another executioner of the workers and peasants who will continue with a heavy hand Vizcarra's work on behalf of Wall Street, and imperialism.
This is why the government earned the just hatred of the starving masses. For its part, the Stalinist leadership of the CGTP had to call a National Day of Protest on November 5, which was taken by thousands of workers throughout the country. It was led by the FENUTSSA health workers who have been on an indefinite strike since October 27, as they face the pandemic without the necessary implements and it is reported that more than 20 thousand workers in this sector have been infected. For this reason, delegations of workers from Puno, Apurímac, Arequipa, Loreto, Pucallpa, Iquitos, Tarapoto Ica, Huacho, Huaral, Cañete, Puno have joined to which all the Lima bases have joined.
They were also present: the construction workers, manufacturing factories, Faber Castell, cleaning workers and thousands of workers took centre stage in the struggle in the regions of Deep Peru, also denouncing the law of "Perfect suspension of work" of the reactionary constitution that gives guarantees to the entrepreneurs of the CONFIEP in "times of pandemic" that they can dismiss massively , without salaries or contributions to the health system, for that the people war cry was: "All the corrupt and traitors out!" While the Vizcarra government did not hesitate to repress and prosecute the detainees.
In the Puno region on November 9, the residents started an indefinite strike due to mining contamination in the Coata River; The inhabitants of Espinar (Cuzco) threatened to resume their indefinite strike against the contamination of the Antapacay company. We must follow the path of the FENUTSSA workers who are sending delegations to fight in the capital. Those are the steps that the teachers who broke with and kicked out of their assemblies the rotten bureaucracy of the Red Homeland to be able to unify in a single fist. We must unite the uprising of the deep Peru of the regions with Lima!
Our demands will not be conquered by the hand of any bourgeois politician like Merino from Acción Popular
( Popular Action party), which arises from the very heart of the rotten Fujimori regime, nor from Vizcarra who got tired of repressing with the police and the Armed Forces. The fight still continues and it is uprising. When we are finishing this statement, there are two deaths under the murderous Merino government, which has not hesitated to massacre the oppressed people in the face of the spontaneous action of thousands of workers, and exploited that surround the Plaza San Martín. There are detainees, disappeared and the Merino ministers resign, which shows that the crisis at the top is deepening.
We can only rely on the self-organization of the workers, poor and exploited peasants.
Open the road to the general strike until Merino and the entire puppet Fujimori regime fall with their reactionary '93 constitution! Down with that Congress of thieves, corrupt and bribes! Neither Merino nor Vizcarra!
Everybody out, nobody left!
Open the road to the worker and peasant alliance! Revolutionary provisional government of workers and peasants’ organizations!
To join our ranks: National Coordination Committee of all those who fight! Let the CGTP break with the bourgeoisie now! Enough with class collaboration!
Unemployed Committee! For a basic minimum and vital wage to all unemployed workers!
Factory and mine that suspend, dismiss or close must be taken under workers' control without compensation!
Down with the curfew! Self-defense committees to protect us from the murderous police and the military!
Out with the military bases and the Yankee Marines from Peru and from all of Latin America!
Dissolution of the police!
Committee of rank and file soldiers! Workers and peasants militia!
To have bread, health, work and retirement pension, let's expropriate without payment and under workers' control all the properties of CONFIEP, the mining companies, the private clinics, its pharmacies, its banks and its lands!
Everybody out, nobody left! Enough with the Fujimori regime and its '93 Constitution! Out with all the bosses political parties!
On the rubble of the vile Fujimori regime, a free and sovereign National Assembly must be raised to break with imperialism and recover the land, which can only be guaranteed by a provisional revolutionary worker and peasant government, based on self-determination organs of the armed masses in struggle.
Out with the IMF and the NGOs! Out with the military bases of Peru and all of Latin America! Yankees go home!
Peru will be socialist or will it be a Wall Street colony!
