Pablo Cabrera for crisis in Peru: “They have a systemic flaw given by their own constitution”

Dina Boluarte, current President of Peru, urged Congress to approve the advance of the general elections for October of this year. If not, he announced that he will immediately send two bills so that the votes are held anyway this 2023 and, in addition, the total reform of the current Peruvian Constitution is carried out.
It is in this context that Pablo Cabrera, counselor of international affairs of the Catholic University, said in conversation with El Mostrador in La Clave, that the situation in Peru is “a chronicle foretold,” adding that he believes that as President Boluarte says “it should end in elections in order to save the democratic process in Peru. that has had a lot of jumping since the departure of Pedro Castillo”.
In addition, he assured that the neighboring country has a systemic failure that it has to face “given by its own constitution, which gives a lot of power to Congress against the President of the Republic, and the President of the Republic against Congress, that is, it is a permanent contradiction “said the counselor.
“She (Dina Boluarte), was his vice president, and that is a very big sign that she has wanted to continue with the institutional process,” Cabrera said. However, as for the future of Peru, he added that “I suppose that the path he intends will be to solve the crisis, because it is increasing (…) So it’s a discussion that’s going on and we hope it ends on the best possible terms.”
Latin America and diplomacy
On the other hand, the analyst was emphatic in pointing out that Latin America must continue in the line of the strategic paradigm shift towards new technologies, ceasing to think about the non-intervention of the internal affairs of other States, and that for this “better intermediation is required, a leadership that leads and leads to change, that connects with the global agenda and influences.”
As for the decisions, Cabrera indicated that “I think there is a new ecosystem, a new geopolitics, where there is a new civilizational cycle, where Latin America has to count not only on rhetoric but on facts, that is, we have to build a community that includes Peru, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and that we do not continue to lose ourselves in intervention or non-intervention. beyond the fact that it is valid for each one to seek his own destiny”.
Finally, he said that a solution must be found to these problems, but that the path must be “silent” and “not do the work to the counterpart.” To do this, he made an analogy with Beethoven’s book In the Music of Silence: “This is a symphony in which diplomacy sets the tones so that it does not go out of tune, so in the music of silence you have to take out the noise, because it seems like a shouting dialogue where none is heard. Beethoven was able to imagine in his mind and interpret silently. So must diplomacy.”
