LONG LIVE THE GROWING PEOPLE'S PROTEST AND ITS DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTRY!
On the occasion of the speech by the fascist, genocidal, and traitorous Dina Boluarte on July 28, 2025, before the Bolivar Congress or pigsty to report on her administration, we say:
The murderous Dina has cynically tried to present her administration as a success, when she has failed in the three reactionary tasks of her government. For the people, it has meant more genocide, more hunger and misery, redoubled exploitation and misery, and she has bloodily repressed and persecuted the protests of the masses. For the nation oppressed by imperialism, a nation in formation, it has meant greater surrender to imperialism.
The fascist, genocidal, and traitorous regime presided over by Dina Boluarte expresses the acute crisis of the old and rotten Peruvian state, a landowning-bureaucratic state at the service of imperialism, primarily Yankee. This state, with its backbone of the armed forces, police, and auxiliary forces, sustains and defends the old society in general and final crisis, a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, upon which a bureaucratic capitalism thrives at the service of imperialism, primarily Yankee.
The crisis in the Heights expresses that we are experiencing the development of the revolutionary situation. Lenin masterfully characterized it through three notes:
"1) The impossibility of the ruling classes to maintain their domination without any change; a crisis at the 'heights,' a crisis in the politics of the ruling class, which opens a fissure through which the discontent and indignation of the oppressed classes seep in. For the revolution to occur, it is not enough that 'those below do not want to,' but it also requires that 'those at the top cannot' live as before. 2) A greater than ordinary sharpening of the needs and calamities of the oppressed classes. 3) A considerable increase, due to the above causes, in the activity of the masses, who in times of peace 'quietly allow themselves to be plundered; but who in times of turmoil are drawn, both by the entire atmosphere of the crisis and by the 'heights' themselves, into independent historical action." ("Leftism," an infantile disease of Communism)
The development of the situation in the country shows that this crisis at the top is opening a rift through which the discontent and indignation of the oppressed classes are seeping. The fact that the masses are beginning to move forcefully not only in the face of unemployment, underemployment, low wages, overexploitation, and misery, but also in the face of the increased oppression they suffer due to the ever-increasing collapse and decomposition of the old society and the old State that sustains it.
Economic data stubbornly show the character of Peruvian society, semi-colonial and semi-feudal, within which a bureaucratic capitalism operates at the service of primarily Yankee imperialism. These data also show the economic failure of the current government. Let's look at some specific data:
For 2024, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was expected to expand by 3.1%. This recovery, supported by the primary sectors, was the recovery of fishing, agriculture, and its associated industries, as well as mineral prices. The projection estimates that GDP will grow at a rate of 3% in 2025, a projection that considers normal weather conditions, the entry into operation of some mining and infrastructure projects, and an environment that favors the continued recovery of private spending.
The slight growth in employment is explained by informality rather than the formal economy, with dramatic figures such as the fact that 1.5 million young people between the ages of 15 and 29 neither study nor work. 12 Despite the rebound in 2024, the medium-term outlook for the Peruvian economy continues to show lower potential than a decade ago. IMF projections for the next five years anticipate GDP growth for the country of just 2.4% (the secondary source from which these data are obtained is from the Central Reserve Bank (BCR) reports: Inflation Report June 2024. Current Outlook and Macroeconomic Projections 2024-2025 and Deysi Gálvez Lume and Luis Tarazona Ramos. EduDatos 50: The Ninis: Young People Who Neither Study nor Work in Peru Today. Lima: Ministry of Education (Minedu)).
Regarding poverty, food insecurity, and informality, the official figures are:
In 2023, average real income decreased by 1% compared to 2022; compared to 2019, the decrease was very significant in urban areas, 13.0%, and 5.2% in rural areas. The extreme poverty line increased by 33.9% compared to 2019. Total poverty grew 26.7% compared to 2019. Monetary poverty increased 1.5% between 2022 and 2023, and increased 8.8 percentage points compared to 2019. During 2023, monetary poverty increased to 29%, while extreme poverty reached 5.7%, marking a reversal of the downward trend that had been maintained during the 2009-2019 period. 51.7% of the population faces moderate or severe food insecurity, which translates to 17.6 million people. Despite this, we are major exporters of food to the global imperialist market.
The resistance of the masses to the situation barely outlined above has been expressed in waves of protest, both large and small, in many cases resorting to armed resistance. The masses are becoming more active every day, all of this in the context of the electoral period, ahead of the general elections to replace the reactionary authorities in April 2026.
The genocidal Dina intends to remain president until July 2026, presiding over a government repudiated by all parties, which is only sustained by force of arms and the parliamentary support of a slim majority of representatives from the various reactionary electoral groups, known as "parties," including the opportunists of "Perú Libre" with Waldemar Cerrón, who doubles as vice president, and some of the ROL rats from the "Teachers' Bloc," the "Socialist Bloc," the "Castillistas," and others. A curious fact about Parliament, which fully reflects what we've said, is that since 2021, more than 50 congressmen have changed political parties, some of them more than three times. Sixty-seven of its 130 members are facing inquiries and investigations for alleged crimes against public administration, public trust, and property, including rape.
In this situation, the difficulties for a response will increase until after the elections and the installation of the new government. However, as things stand, nothing guarantees that there won't be a military or parliamentary coup. Keep in mind that there are more than 40 electoral posters (parties or fronts) on the electoral board that can present candidates for the presidency and the Senate and House of Representatives. The question of its governability and legitimacy has no prospects of changing for the old State. We quote the following data from DESCO magazine, which expresses the collapse and decay of the entire political system:
“The political and electoral landscape two years before the general elections could not be more bleak, but above all, more distant from the citizens.
However, this sort of political "depression," which leads to political paralysis in society and within some parties and organizations, is in stark contrast to the overwhelming enthusiasm shown by others for the upcoming 2026 electoral process.
According to official data from the National Elections Jury (JNE), we have 35 legally registered political parties as of August and another 24 parties in the process of registration, meaning we could have 59 political organizations qualified for the upcoming general elections. Theoretically, if these 59 organizations register and all submit lists to Congress, we would have 7,670 candidates. A historic record. This sort of electoral fever, for example, is shared by several former parliamentarians: "After a review of the last five years, El Comercio found that more than 50 former parliamentarians joined a party other than the one they represented in their respective legislative terms, and are eligible to run again" (Congress, Crisis, Democracy, and Informality, Alberto Adrianzén M, in Perú Hoy, The Collapse of Democracy. Lima: desco, 2024).
Reactionaries can only be increasingly pessimistic about the current situation. The most outspoken among them moan: "the profound decomposition we are experiencing." They see their current "democracy" as a "continuation of the Fujimori regime," in which "neoliberal foundations should not be questioned."
The quotes are from the presentation by Eduardo TOCHE M.; editor, Perú Hoy, The Collapse of Democracy. Lima: desco, 2024.
And the most interesting thing is that, in his own way and despite his rotten postmodernist language and thinking, Toche describes the country's political superstructure, which for us expresses its semi-feudal and semi-colonial foundation and, with this, the failure of the second reactionary task of the fascist, genocidal, and traitorous Fujimori regime, which has ruled since 1992, and, therefore, of the current Dina Boluarte regime. Let's read what he says about it:
"In conclusion, (in Peru today). It is evident that the falsification of a culture of legality by the criminal underworld—and by those who occupy the spaces between it and the realm of lawfulness—fuels the intrinsic relationship between law and disorder that we experience with increasing intensity. After all, once the State began to seriously outsource its services and grant franchises, and once extralegal organizations began to imitate the State and the market by providing protection and administering justice, the Social order becomes a kaleidoscope: simultaneously present and non-present, simultaneously hyperreal and a superposition of images, simultaneously visible, opaque, and translucent. Moreover, this duplication, this simultaneous presence of law and disorder, has its own geography, a geography of discontinuous and overlapping sovereignties.”
Another example of how semi-feudalism manifests itself in the political superstructure is found in the cited article by Alberto Adrianzén M. in the case of the "mochasueldos" (salarymen). Let us read:
"(...) the existence of the so-called "mochasueldo" (salarymen), that is, congressmen who force their workers to hand over part of their salary, turning these people into a sort of "arrendire" (peasant's rent payment) who, although they no longer work for the landowner or landowner, as was the case in the past, are obliged to deliver part of their labor in cash to the congressman. This form of relationship demonstrates the patrimonial nature of the congressman's politics, where the seat represents what the land was for the gamonal (landlord)."
How does the decomposition of the reactionary and perspective political system have?
Given this situation, the masses have been in need of resisting the double reactionary attack, on the one hand, of the repressive forces of the State itself and, on the other, to the attack of the bands of the "landlord", so that in many places they have had to resort to armed resistance. The armed resistance of the masses gives the PCP the possibility to raise that struggle to political struggle, to struggle for power, going from armed resistance (self -defense) to guerrilla struggle to destroy the living forces of the enemy and the old relations of production, under the slogan of fighting and resisting, putting the center in fighting and organizing them within the people's liberation army to make a new leap of the incorporation of the pleope masses. Thus we differentiate between passive resistance, armed self -defense and armed struggle and, even more, with peeeeeeeeeepl's war.
Therefore, the current situation is very bad for the reaction and it is very good for the revolution, it serves to advance the task of the general reorganization of the party in and for a new jump in the incorporation of the masses to the people's war. To get out of the current situation to an active popular war.
In situations of electoral juncture where collusion and reactionary struggle is exacerbated, followed by the change of government, knowing the mismatch that this brings for them and knowing that the new government will be much weaker and more illegitimized than the current one, which will be much worse for the masses, gives the brilliant opportunity to march with the wind in favor mobilizing in amplitude and depth to the masses against the new electoral farce, by the active boycot. For the struggle for the defense of rights, freedoms and benefits conquered with blood and to raise this struggle of the masses to political struggle, for its new incorporation by jumps into the people's war, culminating with the task of the general reorganization of the party and continuing to develop the revolution of New Democracy with Popular War.
