THIS IS THE SECOND MASSIVE PROTEST IN PERU AND THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE:

- THERE ARE TANKS ON OUR STREETS

- THERE ARE MOUNTED POLICE IN CITIES EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID IT WAS PROHIBITED

- THE POLICE IS NOT ALLOWING PEOPLE TO GO INTO THE TRAIN OR BUSES IF THEY HAVE BANNERS OR ANY KIND OF SIGNAL THAT THEY'RE GOING TO THE PROTEST

- I'VE SEEN AT LEAST TWO VIDEOS OF PEOPLE BEING ARRESTED FOR GLARING AT THE POLICE

- THE EMPLOYEES OF SOME STORES HAVE BEEN ASKED TO HIDE GAS MASK FROM THE COSTUMERS.

WE NEED HELP

SPREAD THE WORD THEY ARE GOING TO KILL US

[bway-trasshh]

Legal situation in Peru rn:

- Already relaxed laws against police brutality

- They are pushing to legally support illegal mining, to take down the SUNEDU the institution that monitors education quality, to let people sentenced by corruption to be able to take part in politics again, to be able to re-elct congressmen, to start projects without the environmental qualifications.

-The new congress is made of people without qualifications, the environmental minister at the beginning of this year was rejected of a low position from her same ministery because she didn’t have the qualifications and now is the head, the president never finished University, the head of congress have called indigenous people llamas and had to step down after el baguazo where 34 people were killed (2005) but he is back in charge

All of this in 3 days, people are getting injured, we were gassed from helicopters, there is no budget for COVID tests but every year gas costs the same s two. There has been a murder, there have been affected children from public transportation near, the media is lightning things on fire and blaming protestors.

But the worst part is the feeling of emptyness about the recent declaration from the president that he is waiting for people to get tires and they he doesn’t care about protestors

Some people have suggested to use Twitter if you can, make #MerinoNoNosRepresenta #MarchaNacional #Peru #GolpeDeEstadoEnPeru trending s Twitter is a more visible social media

We have internet, we have social media, we have information at our fingertips. I won’t tolerate any kind of nonsense here.

Thank you.

THE OAS DOESN´T RECOGNIZE YOU AND NEITHER DO WE

[bway-trasshh]

[translation: #thiscongressdoesntrepresentme #Merinoisnotmypresident]

In light of the recent events in my country I wanted to share this pictures.

I will never forgive what this congress has done to my country (Perú) and following my constitutional right, I won't recognize this new president as mine for he is an usurper.

Let's pray that the next months go fast and that everything will be okay, but never stop fighting and remember that we don't owe Merino obedience.

Mi Perú querido, vamos a salir adelante

¡VIVA EL PERÚ CARAJO!

PLEASE INFORM YOURSELF ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN PERU:

Our Congress has been looking for an excuse to oust our (now former) President, Martín Vizcarra. There's been unproven accusations of corruption against him and, even when he denied them, he never condemned/stopped the investigations. Earlier this week, our deeply disliked Congress orchestrated a coup d'etat, ousting Vizcarra and making President someone who 1) when elected as a member of our Congress, only got 5k votes, that's not even 1% of the region (as US has states, we have departments/regions) he "represented", 2) has a fake degree by an unlicensed uni (and now he's trying to stop the organization that monitors universities/institutes in general so this is forgotten), 3) is against our Peruvian population, whose first law was to APPROVE POLICE BRUTALITY AGAINST OUR PACIFIC PROTESTS. THEY ARE NOW LITERALLY TRYING TO KILL US, yesterday they released tear gas inside a bus full of kids, babies, PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT PROTESTING.

Please, share this political crisis that's going on in Peru, because the media isn't covering it. Here's a carrd in English about it, here's a thread on Twitter (spanish, please translate it), and one in English (that's actually very funny but) explains what happened.

If you need more info, look up the #MERINONOESMIPRESIDENTE hashtag on Twitter/Instagram. If you wanna help, again, check this carrd https://peruneedsyourvoice.carrd.co/, share the info about our current crisis, and DON'T LET YOUR COUNTRY RECOGNIZE MERINO AS OUR PRESIDENT. MERINO NI EL CONGRESO ME REPRESENTAN, ÉL NO ES NUESTRO PRESIDENTE.

PLEASE REBLOG!! MY COUNTRY, PERU, IS IN CRISIS. CORRUPTION NEEDS TO BE STOPPED ONCE AND FOR ALL.

THE ELMO MEME IS A REALITY IN MY COUNTRY

NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION

My country (Perú) is in danger, our democracy is in grave danger, our last president was ousted for allegations of corruption and while we agree that he should be investigated, we were against the vacancy.

The congress is hiding behind our constitution to make it seem that what they did was legal. They ousted the president for ‘moral incapacity’, the problem is that nothing was proved so it shouldn’t be possible, not only that, but last month they tried to do the same.

Before they voted for the vacancy, there were only 60 congressmen in favor but suddenly there were 105 who voted on favor, now they’re starting to talk, there were deals made and also threats against some of them, telling them that there wouldn’t be votes in favor their projects if they didn’t vote like them.

Our new “president”, who from now on I will call the usurper, was also the president of the congress who tried before to get the armed forces on his side, doesn’t have studies, and has open processes against him. He was not chosen by us to lead the country, only 5,000 people voted for him on the congress elections, the peruvian population is of 30 millions

Not only that, but 68 out of 130 congressmen have open processes that go from money laundering to straight up murder. The new president of the congress has 52 criminal charges.

This exactly is why the congress ousted our last president, he was doing reforms to the congress so there wouldn’t be impunity, he also called for elections on April.

We’re only 5 months away from the elections.

The congress talks that they did what they did because it was their moral obligation. We know this isn’t true, they did it because the president was against their populist laws that in the end would only damage the population and now that he’s out, they can do it freely.

In the 3 days since they ousted our president, they already are trying to modify the university education reform and the SUNEDU an institution that makes sure that our education is of quality and has been closing universities that didn’t make the cut, most of them were just taking money from their students or were just money laundering, two of this “universities” are owned by two congressmen.

Other thing that one party wants to do is to free their leader Antauro Humala from prison. This man was the brother of a former president who didn’t pardon him in his term and has tried to get free for years now, but our justice system and our national assembly has not let him. Why is he dangerous? Well he’s been sentences for insurrection, homicide, aggravated kidnapping, and other including a case called 'Andahuaylazo’ where 4 policemen were killed. And since his party voted for the ousting, they are going to ask the usurper for a pardon.

The usurper has now elected his cabinet, the premier is a man who has called our people vicuñas and llamas, has said that femicides shouldn’t be apart from a homicide because it usually happens when they are trying to mug them or it’s their fault for cheating, he also has conflict of interests. He was a minister before, but he had to step down because of a conflict he was involve in enden up with the death of 24 indigenous people.

This brings us to yesterday 12/11/2020 (11/12/2020 for you USA). MILLIONS of peruvians took the streets in different parts of the country and in other countries too, we did this since day 1 but the one from yesterday was massive.  

It was a pacific protest, we were chanting and protesting against the usurper and the congress, nobody was violent until the police started attacking us.

There are more photos and videos but some of them are too strong, the police not only repressed us, they attacked journalists and paramedics, they didn’t let the firemen help our the wounded 

There were undercover cops trying to stir the protestors but got mad when we realized who they were so they shot us.

Let me make this very clear

THEY

SHOT US

Not with rubber bullets, with actual bullets

And now the minister of the interios, who leads our police, is saying that there were not undercover cops, that they didn’t attack us, that they didn’t use tear gas against us and our media is talking about the damage we’ve done to our city WHILE THERE’S A GUY IN COMA BECAUSE THE POLICE SHOT HIM IN THE ABDOMEN TWO OR THREE TIMES, THEY SHOY PEOPLE POINT BLACK, WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHERE SOME PEOPLE IS, THEY DISAPPEARED.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Share this, and share the different posts in the Peru tag, let us be heard, we need the eyes of the world on us, we need people to know that our democracy is in danger, we need you to look at us and let the usurper and the congress know that we’re not alone and that everything they do is being monitored by the international community, let them know that they don’t have power over us.

Here’s a carrd (here’s another) that explains some things, I’m sure I’m missing a lot of things so fellow peruavians please add to this post.

Newsies, both the 1992 Film and the Stage Show, are works that showcase protesting, police violence, and revolution against an unfair and unjust system.

I know many of my followers and mutuals come to this blog to escape from the news and the realities of life. But the themes of Newsies that I mentioned prior are what is happening in the USA and we as fansies cannot ignore that.

And if you don't believe me listen to the songs and look at the lyrics once more.

The World Will Know

And the world will know

We been keepin' score

Either they gives us our rights or we gives them a war

We've been down too long

And we paid our dues

And the die is cast

And the torch is passed

And the roar will rise

—From the streets below

—And our ranks will grow

—And grow

—And grow

And so the world will feel the fire and finally know!

Will we let them stuff this crock o' garbage

Down our throat? No!

Everyday we wait

Is a day we lose

And this ain't for fun

And it ain't for show

And we'll fight 'em toe to toe to toe and Joe

Your world will feel the fire and finally (finally) know!

Seize the Day

Courage cannot erase our fear

Courage is when we face our fear

Tell those with power safe in their tower

We will not obey!

Behold the brave battalion that stands side by side

Too few in number and too proud to hide

Then say to the others who did not follow through

You're still our brothers, and we will fight for you

Once and For All

In a few hours by dawns early light we'll be ready to fight us a war

This time we're in it to stay, talk about seizing the day

Write it in ink or in blood, it's the same either way.

They're gonna damn well pay!

All of these guys who are sick of the lies getting ready to rise to the call!

Once and for all they'll be blood on the wall if they doubt us

They think they're running this town, but this town will shut down without us!

As a person of color, as a a child of immigrants, as a human being

I stand with protesters

I stand with the rioters

I stand with those who are seeking to dismantle this system of oppression

I stand against police brutality and using excessive force.

i stand with the black lives matter movement.

And Remember that Pride Month just started and that the first Pride was a Riot!!!!

it has been 121 years since a gaggle of teenagers, led by Louis “Kid Blink” Baletti, overturned a distribution wagon for The New York Journal, thus starting a successful 2 week strike on one of the most powerful men in new york city, demanding he take the rights of working children seriously
