I don't like this. I hope Castillo and Peru Libre can learn from the examples of Venezuela and Bolivia and build power outside the government.

WTF? The military forces can remove and install government officials?
Likely not formally. Not certain on the details, but this could be Castillo making concessions when he really shouldn’t be. I’m hoping there’s details I’m not aware of and that he knows that revolutions are not made with silk gloves.
Handing a part of your military to someone sympathetic to the American state department is not a good idea.
Don't people keep complaining his associates are shining path sympathizers or something? probably just propaganda but I'm sure they know their history, but if you aren't in any position to stop the military demands you don't want to get shot by putting up meaningless resistance. it was a close election Castillo can't rely on the masses to fight against the military like Bolivia
How much history does the average Bob knows? Yea, that
well if you lived in Latin America I think the average person would know about right wing coups
Yeah and a lot of people are ok with them cuz we stupid
I think this last guy got removed because he had said in the past that he thought the Shining Path was funded by the US.
His associates had been more or less enemies of Shining Path and the military, think community defense among indigenous peasantry. The slander is particularly gross because of that, buying into Shining Path's claim to represent the natives as justification for murdering or discrediting them....which Shining Path also does to them
no, but they can threaten to do shit (namely a coup) until the government caves in. this is pretty common throughout Latin America as our armed forces still have a cold war mindset.
Eh the behavior is previous to the Cold War, like inherent to "democracies". Worldwide.
This is what millions/billions in military aid $$ from the USA does
