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.

    This isn't the first of Castillo's appointments to be forced out either. The daughter of the dictator & her crypto-fascist party has made it very clear they intend to keep doing this until they can use it as grounds to remove Castillo himself.

    And now they've handed a branch of the military to themselves and the US State Department.

      Unless this is Castillo pulling a Deng level move, we’re watching a slow motion coup of an overly idealistic DemSoc comrade. Goddamn shame.
