Peru election 2021

This might turn into an interesting event that gets our media all stirred up. It is too close to call right now, but Pedro Castillo might pull it out. Pedro is a ethno-nationalist socialist who calls for getting rid of the bankers and giving back to the people. He was heavily opposed by the powers that be and he might have pulled it off.

If so, watch for the US press and eventually the US govt. to pull out the entire arsenal to get him removed. Slander, sanctions, and everything else they can throw at him.

Great idea for a thread

Castillo is a traditional leftist that is not on board with the LGBT madness, much like Morales and Maduro. He is a simple man from a simple background, a practicing Catholic and seems to have little connection with the Sorosites.

All the other epitaphs are anno 2021 irrelevant

Like in Nicaragua (several individuals got apprehended this week for coup related activities), Bolivia, Venezuela and elsewhere, the CIA will start plotting against Castillo.

He's running against a... ahem... Keiko Fujimori

And on top of that, she was the first lady from 1994-2000.

I just saw it on Eric Striker's telegram, so I am not fully informed on it. Sounds like the party Castillo is running for is pretty much a fascist/ethno-nationalist socialist party that calls for removing the ruling class that has sold them out. The leader of this party has been imprisoned since 2005 for his beliefs.

Fujimori going through OAS to get the votes she needs

This is pretty wild. There seem to be big changes happening across Latin America. Perhaps a harbinger of things to come in N America?

It's probably not good news for RVF-ers who have been planning to settle in Peru...

Full disclosure: I am not very knowledgeable on South American politics

But, given that we know the US has been meddling heavily both covertly and overtly in South American affairs, it would stand to reason that if the US was losing its power and influence over the world (as one would expect with a collapsing late stage empire), you could start seeing South America return to a more natural state unless China steps in. I'm not sure exactly what that would look like.

This is confusing, wasn't Fujimori a right wing candidate and Castillo a total commie?

Soytown is reluctant to attack this so called based Catholic and most if not all agree thay he is better than the fascist boogeyman Fujimori

Whatever catholic brand he follows must be a socialist sect and his political platform backed by Shining Path

Castillo has made it (so far) and has been declared President Elect of Peru.
