No.411694
Well, looks like we end up starting with the left foot. It is not a collpase like some idiots are saying here, but more of a tense standoff/break of the alliance between the center,center left and Peru Libre.
Pretty unnecessary if you ask me. I think they should have waited to a more agressive attack by congress, you know, for the looks. (But one can say that an attack like that has happened, since in the 28th Alva just shrug off Sagasti of the proclamation, giving them bad light).
One can try to rationalize the situation with this thought. Goverments, being centerleft or rightwing normally have a honeymoon period with the bourgueoise and the media, and with high popularity. This can be used for risky political manouvers, like putting a cabinet for political conflict (a kamikaze cabinet one can called it) and simply burn in congress, wasting one of the two denials of trust by congress to put them against the corner, for them not to get too cocky becuase while Peru Libre is in a minority there, a supposed center center right coalition doesn't have enough votes for a presidential vacancy.
The problem is that one can act that way if you have total confidence/agreement with the members of said cabinet. Looks like Quijano and Francke were against it, since they didn't wanted to be in a cabinet with Bellido as head (since the press and others have pointed to past declarations as senderophile the infamous terrorism apology laws are going after him, homophobic, caviarphobic, etc,etc,etc).
So we are here.
Oh and there was a mild earthquake to top the cake.
