Another disaster, great. Hope he gets Covid.
Castillo ran on changing the constitution, and using Peru’s vast mineral resources for “the people”, and not corporations.
I find his life story fascinating. He is socially conservative, and opposed to the legalization of abortion, same-sex marriage, or euthanasia and the “gender equality approach” in education.
He is economically opposed to monopolies, and oligopolies, and his upbringing as a member of the peasant class makes his 70/30 plan to retain profits from multinational corporations has merit, IMHO.
Since Keiko Fujimori was the presumed winner, and preferred candidate by the West (The Fujimoris remind me of Bill and Hil), I expect to hear nothing good about Castillo from the Press.
You thought the spaniards were bad...
Hat and all, perhaps in greater design than ignorance, Pedro Castillo appears to be nothing more an Augusto César Sandino wannabe.
Election of Castillo and rejection of Fujimori suggests Peru’s political bench is shallow. Question becomes, next time out the gate, who will be the best candidates available?
Somewhere, sometime even here, someone calls for a new constitution. This times it’s there and Castillo calls. Twenty years, family in Venezuela hailed Hugo as the “clean broom sweeps well”. Now some family are here, some are unable to leave and a failed bus driver is their president. Though amended seventeen times, and abused by too many, US are still on our first.
Dunno if they'll beat Zimbabwe, but I'll warrant they will try.
