Whats going on in peru...

The last weeks has been politically tense in Peru.
There are now two pending issues wich are filling the papers on the streets and animate the discussions of people in cities and countryside.
Tension raised some time ago between the peruan and the cilean governments regarding the borders of the territorial sea; Chile suddenly changed an old agreement without consulting the peruans, so now the government of Lima saw its territorial sea drastically reduced. This event has been manipulated and exagerated by the press (at least in Peru), and one day the idiots are walking down the street and they read everywhere this kind of titles: "Peruan troups are mooving towards the borders with Chile". Calmed down by our friends, we started to read more carefully and asking people, which seems to be a better idea.


But what is now hooking the attention of the pubblic opinion is the attempt of the ex president Fujimori to come back to Peru, after he had to escape the country in 2000 because of money laundry and corruption. He landed in Santiago and peruan authorities are trying to extraddict him who is arrested in Chile. Even if nobody really believes he could run for the presidentials, he still has a huge power, and in many walls of Peru we could clearly read: "vota por Fujimori", which is quite scary!

We are now in Bolivia, and the political situation is quite tense here as well, I don't know if it is normal, but many soldiers are on the streets of La Paz, and the 18th of december there will be the elections. In this country a coup is not a remote possibility...
The idiotas will investigate and report their opinions about that.

La Paz,
Ste
