El día más normal en Ohio :
Amen
LORD GOD OF MERCY SHOW us MERCY 🙏
These protesters don't represent the majority of peruvians. Ask any peruvian with some common sense… Castillo's approval was 20% before he ousted himself.
Peace, love, and support to my brothers and sisters in Peru. May the corruption be cleansed from all of our lands so that we may all truly prosper.
Not all the prostesters are terrorists but… Some of then have guns and homemade bazookas
Just saying
The future of America when they lock up the orange orangutan. We are no better. January 6
From what I understand, he gave orders to dissolve the corrupt congress. The dissolved congress ordered his capture illegally an hour later while he had Presidential immunity (this all happened Wednesday). They then voted to impeach him in a 6 minute trial without him being present to defend himself and picked their own President. And just yesterday(Sunday) his immunity was stripped meaning he was detained while he had immunity with no charges. That new president now ordered the military to use deadly force if necessary. Peru is on that next level crazy.
Castillo's actions weren't the coup, according to the rule of Peruvian law. The actions taken against him were the coup. But the media up here is trying to play it the opposite using American chauvinism to lie to people who are willing to believe Peruvian constitutional law is synonymous with American constitutional law. It isn't. It is a completely different system (for better or worse) and the situation in Peru cannot be accurately understood according to the US constitution as a standard.
"While the Constitution of 1979 allowed the president to dissolve congress after congress censured cabinet members three times, the current constitution allows the president to do so after only two censures. The Constitution allows the president to decree laws as long as they first informs the Congress of their intent to do so. If the president dissolves Congress, the Constitution gives them the power to rule until the election of a new Congress within a four-month timeline, during which time the Standing Committee of the dissolved Congress will remain functioning." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Peru

Look at that, a country that throws a president in jail for trying a coup, that's an idea 💡
And the sad part about this mess is that it has only just begun. 7 people dead at this time, one of the victims a 15 year old boy.
