Among several records broken by both the government that was formed in July 2021 and the government that replaced it in December 2022 are records for political own goals in midfield.
In the case of Pedro Castillo, The coup d’état of December 7, 2022 should qualify as an entry in a separate arc to make it into gold leaf. Because it was clumsy, improvised and poorly calculated.
That is, if Betsy Chavez and Anibal Torres had tried a little harder, taken 20 breaths, and given their respective brains a little more oxygen, it is possible that their former boss would not be in jail today, nor would the former minister and Don Anibal, if not with luck, he could challenge Antaur Umala’s electoral support. Who knows.
However, Mr. In Bolwart (IMHO) is a strong candidate to win the contest. Because while she couldn’t resist the weakness of receiving the Rolex, jewelry and dresses gifted to her “waika” Wilfred Askarim (let’s just say, average own goal), someone (who supposedly loves her, but doesn’t really love her) must have encouraged her by retouching his nose is in a more stylized format.
This latest own goal, almost Olympic, will go down in history because it is based on three premises that can only be recognized in a man who treats the position he occupies almost like a winning ticket in the lottery. In reality, it is the product of a great deal of self-annotation Castilla which I mention above.
Namely: that her status as President of the Republic is the same as any ordinary Peruvian at the level of private life; that their personal decisions are not governed by the law and the Constitution. And, worst of all, she shows such a level of detachment from reality that she believes that her actions and their consequences will not be interesting and will not be known to those around her or to public opinion.
Although the president’s rhinoplasty ended up becoming a joke in itself, and the constitutional debate over whether there was a power vacuum or not, whether she should have sought permission from the Congress of the Republic, is moving into the realm of debate, it is a criterion of basic transparency. (or its absence), which today turns the insignificant into a new political problem for the government.
Probably more than cosmetic surgery, that In Bolwart He needed to polish his sense of smell and political criteria, which is evident.
