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.

    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

      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
