For decades, in Peru, military and security forces were fighting against terrorist and extremist groups. But never the Andean country found good leaders to conduct the people through civil paths in a continuous democratic life
The news is that Pedro Castillo, a Marxist-Leninist, assumed the presidency of the country exactly at the moment that legendary Abimael Guzmán,the founder of the Shining Path died.
About the news, the journalist Álvaro Vargas Llosa posted an opinion column in the Wall Street Journal titled “Peru’s Dim Future from Shining Path”.
Vargas Llosa wrote: "It’s no small irony that Abimael Guzmán —the Maoist
revolutionary who founded the Peruvian terrorist organization Shining Path some
50 years ago and died on Sept. 11—lived just long enough to see a
Marxist-Leninist, Pedro Castillo, assume Peru’s presidency."
My opinion is:
After a hard terror war across Latin America, the former terrorists are defeating the democratic institutions, gaining their war in the political arena. This is the case of Pedro Castillo in Peru.
