According to a report appearing July 8 on a Peruvian website—and apparently not yet in any English-language internet news source—Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

I don't like AOC but this is at least good, if ineffective.

I wonder why the mainstream media didn't criticize AOC for this?

(I think I already know the answer, tbh.)

    Fujimoristas (ultra-right wing pro-us) removed Castillo from the goverment when he tried to close the congress (In Peru a president can do that).

    There were massive protestes and most of the country outside Lima was in a state of chaos. Some policemen and soldiers went awol. The US fears that they will lose their grip on the Peruvian oil companies.

      Oh yes this was a bit back though, like this happened a few months ago right? I thought there was some new thing happening

        The only new thing that i can remember seeing, was that the supreme court decided to say that asktually Castillo was removed because he was corrupt, so it's ok to keep him inside a military base for no reason.
