NY STATSKUPP GENOM VALFUSK
Den
17 februari genomfördes en ny parlamentarisk ”statskupp” i Peru mot den
reaktionäre presidenten José Jerí. Det är den sjätte i sitt slag under
de senaste tio åren, ett uttryck för krisen i de ”höga sfärerna”, krisen
i den härskande klassens politik, en förvärrad sammansvärjning och
reaktionär tvist som underblåsts av den nya valfarsen som är planerad
till den 12 april.
Den
18 februari valde parlamentet José Balcázar till talman, vilket ledde
till att han tillfälligt övertog presidentposten efter att José Jerí
avsattes. Balcázar kommer att inneha posten till den 28 juli 2026.
Den
peruanska staten är en byråkratisk diktatur, baserad på en allians
mellan de exploaterande klasserna: storbourgeoisin (som styr) och
jordägarna (under imperialismens befäl). Byten av makthavare i det gamla
peruanska staten sker genom val eller genom militära eller
parlamentariska statskupper. Detta gör det möjligt för oss att tydligt
se den senaste utvecklingen av den politiska situationen i landet.
Bakgrunden
till det som händer på det reaktionära området är att landet befinner
sig i en ny valsituation för att byta ut myndigheterna i den gamla
peruanska staten; för president, vicepresident, deputerade och senatorer
(en kammare som avskaffades efter Fujimoris ”självkupp” 1992) och som
återinförs med de kommande valen.
Den
avsatte José Jerí tillträdde som president för Republiken Peru efter
Dina Boluartes avgång till följd av en parlamentarisk statskupp. Man bör
ha i åtanke att Fuerza Popular motsatte sig avgången in i det sista.
Därför tolkades Jerís utnämning som en kompromiss för de andra krafterna
i striden. Jerí var rätt person att fungera som ”säkring”. Mer
kryptiskt uttryckt var Jerís utnämning ”ett resultat av en bristfällig
kongressarkitektur” (ledare ”En interimistisk president utan anspråk på
originalitet”, La República, 18 februari 2026).
På
opinionssidan ”El síntoma Jerí” (Jerí-symptomet) av J. Bruce, La
República, ovannämnda utgåva, står det följande om den utnämning vi
diskuterar: ”…de utnämnde honom, inte trots att han hade en svag punkt,
utan just därför. Det var lättare… att kontrollera en så svag person”.
Vi preciserar tanken: det var lättare att byta ut honom när tiden var
inne. Precis som har skett.
Det
sätt på vilket Jerí avsattes stöder också vår tes om det verkliga
motivet till den senaste statskuppen: att kontrollera administrationen
av den kommande valfarsen med en person som talar tomma ord och inte har
mer inflytande än sin egen person.
Jerís
avsättning skedde genom en osäker reaktionär konsensus utan någon annan
överenskommelse än fördelningen av poster och mandat, för vilket man
bröt mot konstitutionen och lagarna för fall av avsättning av
republikens president och använde sig av ”censur av parlamentets
talman”.
Skäl
till detta: de hade inte det erforderliga antalet parlamentsledamöter
för avsättningen, som krävde 87 röster, två tredjedelar av de
röstberättigade ledamöterna. Och om avsättningen hade skett enligt
reglerna, i fall de nödvändiga rösterna hade uppnåtts, skulle
presidentposten ha tillfallit den tillförordnade parlamentsordföranden
Rospigliosi, en representant för Fujimorism.
El
Comercio, som står på Fuerza Populars sida, skrev i en ledare: ”José
Jerí föll på grund av sina egna misstag, men parlamentet har skapat ett
dåligt prejudikat med denna misstroendeförklaring.”
Den
parlamentariska statskupp som ledde till att den reaktionäre Jeri
tilldelades presidentposten i oktober förra året motiverades av de
reaktionära partiernas, inklusive revisonisternas och opportunisternas,
behov av att distansera sig från den mördande Dina-regeringen, den mest
förhatliga reaktionära regeringen i det gamla peruanska statens
historia, i syfte att vinna röster inför valet i april.
Den
verkliga orsaken till det parlamentariska kuppet är liknande den som
gällde vid avgången av den mordiska Dina-regeringen: Jeris fyra månader
vid makten har präglats av skandaler och misslyckanden på alla fronter,
och partierna står inför ett ännu större valnederlag. Men nu, när en
bräcklig reaktionär sammansvärjning mot Fuerza Popular (Fujimoris parti)
har uppnåtts, handlar det om att anförtro detta tillfälliga
presidentskap till en lämplig person för att kontrollera valfarsen och
hantera valfusket.
Som
den reaktionära tidningen La República påpekar i ledaren ”Ett
interimistiskt presidentskap utan anspråk på originalitet” (Lima, 18
februari 2026), i det citat vi återger:
”Inför
ett splittrat val innebär kontrollen över den tillfälliga regeringen
både en möjlighet och en risk. Att hantera övergången ger inflytande,
men utsätter också för slitage och eventuella valmässiga kostnader.”
Bytet
av den ”säkra” Jerí mot den nye interimpresidenten José Maía Balcarzer
Zelada verkar uppfylla förväntningarna i det reaktionära parlamentariska
avtalet, det vill säga att kontrollera valfarsen och dess resultat och
undvika valkostnaden för presidentposten.
I
motsats till sina rivaler i den reaktionära kampen har Fuerza Popular
(FP) stött Jerí till sista stund och var det enda partiet som röstade
mot misstroendet mot Jerí. Med den fullbordade parlamentariska
statskuppen förlorar FP sitt ”inflytande” i farsen i april.
FP:s
representanter attackerade López Aliaga och hans parti Partido
Renovación Popular, som är lika reaktionära som FP, eftersom de röstade
för misstroendet och sedan inte stödde den kandidat som FP föredrog,
María Carmen Alva (Acción Popular).
Så
ser det ut för de reaktionära politiska krafterna inför den nya
valfarsen, mindre än en och en halv månad före dess möjliga
genomförande.
Utnämningen
av den nye interimpresidenten José Balcázar är resultatet av den gamla
statens och dess institutioners sönderfall, av bristen på verkliga
reaktionära politiska partier: Balcázar ställde upp i eget namn och med
hjälp av tredje part för att leda valfusket och tog på sig att leda den
gamla staten och fortsätta det fascistiska, folkmordsbenägna och
landsförrädiska regim som inleddes i april 1992 med den så kallade
”Fujimoris självkupp”. Den gamla staten som upprätthålls av
statsbyråkratin och de folkmordsbenägna väpnade styrkorna och polisen.
Balcázar
har utsetts av en knapp minoritet av rösterna, 66 för och 46 för hans
motståndare, av totalt 130 kongressledamöter. Parlamentet består av
representanter för olika reaktionära valgrupper, så kallade ”partier”,
däribland opportunisterna i ”Perú Libre”, några råttor från LOD i
”Bloque Magisterial”, ”Bloque Socialista”, ”Castillistas” och andra.
Misslyckandet
i de kommande valen är förutbestämt, på grund av fragmenteringen av
valerbjudandena, där var och en söker fördelar för sin fraktion, grupp
och individer bakom masken av mer än 37 valförkortningar, som kallar sig
partier eller fronter. Alla står i tjänst hos den ena eller andra av de
två fraktionerna inom den stora bourgeoisin, som står i imperialismens
tjänst. I de reaktionära valen är alla partier som deltar för att
försvara ordningen av förtryck och exploatering.
J. Balcázars uttalanden fungerar som ett erkännande av det vi hävdar:
”Vi
är inte här för att slåss längre. Här finns varken höger eller vänster.
Det begreppet skapades av fransmännen för revolutionen, det har ingen
ideologisk grund. Det finns ingen. Så, vänner, jag känner mig hedrad
över era röster och att vi kan säga till peruanerna att det är möjligt
att bygga en verklig demokrati. Demokratin fungerar inte. Om den
demokratin inte korrigeras kommer den att försvinna i framtiden.”
Balcázar
försäkrade att den ekonomiska modellen kommer att bibehållas och sa att
man kan åstadkomma mycket på en månad eftersom ”det inte är svårt att
styra ett land”.
Det
vill säga att det kommer att fortsätta ”automatiskt”, det vill säga
styras av den höga statliga byråkratin som består av tjänstemän i
imperialismens och storborgarklassens tjänst.
”Garantera
folket att det kommer att ske en demokratisk och transparent övergång,
så att det inte råder något tvivel. Upprätthålla en verklig fred och se
till att vi har ministerier som är kapabla att bekämpa otryggheten bland
medborgarna.”
”Vi kommer att behålla den ekonomiska linjen, vi är inte här för att experimentera.”
Citatet är ordagrant hämtat från det första talet av denna reaktionära personlighet (landets dagstidningar).
När
det gäller massorna: de mobiliseringar som har ägt rum från mitten av
2025 till idag visar å ena sidan massornas tendens att mobilisera sig,
de blir alltmer aktiva, i en växande folklig protest som uttrycker deras
avvisande av den gamla staten, dess institutioner, representanter,
småpartier och den pågående valfarsen. Å andra sidan visar de
reaktionära, revisionistiska och opportunistiska krafterna sin strävan
att dra massorna in på den meningslösa vägen med val och koppla dem till
den gamla statens vagn.
Byte
av president, kris i de ”höga sfärerna”, kris i den härskande klassens
politik. Liksom vid tidigare tillfällen uttrycker denna nya
parlamentariska statskupp mot José Jerí Oré, som ledde den fascistiska,
folkmordsbenägna och landsförrädiska regimen som inleddes i april 1992,
och hans ersättare Balcázar inte bara den akuta krisen i den gamla och
ruttna peruanska staten, utan också i själva regimen.
Avslutningsvis upprepar vi vad vi hävdade i oktober 2025, med undantag för namnet på den reaktionäre ledaren:
Den
nya regeringen under ledning av den reaktionäre ”fredsstiftaren
Balcázar”, som ifrågasätts för en rad funktionella och representativa
övergrepp, är bara ett byte av hästar i den fascistiska,
folkmordsbenägna och landsförrädiska regimen. Därför kommer denna nya
regering att vara mer utsvältande, folkmordsbenägen och landsförrädisk
än den tidigare. Den kommer att försöka anpassa sin regering mer till
den nuvarande yankeeimperialistiska regeringen, ledd av den
ultrareaktionäre folkmordsbenägne Trump.
I
denna situation har massorna ett alltmer akut behov av att göra
motstånd mot den dubbla reaktionära attacken, å ena sidan från de
repressiva krafterna inom den peruanska staten, från banden av
”krigsherrar” som är stora jordägare och stora gruvbolag, och å andra
sidan från en trippelattack från de alltmer utbredda banden av vanliga
brottslingar som skyddas av de civila, militära och polisiära
myndigheterna i den reaktionära staten.
Därför
är den nuvarande politiska situationen mycket dålig för reaktionen och
mycket bra för revolutionen. Den tjänar till att driva på arbetet med
partiets allmänna omorganisation och till ett nytt språng i massornas
anslutning till folkkriget. För att ta oss ur den nuvarande
återvändsgränden till ett aktivt folkkrig.
Val, nej! Folkkrig, ja!

NUEVO GOLPE DE ESTADO
POR MANEJO DEL FRAUDE ELECTORAL
El 17 de febrero, se realizó un nuevo “golpe de Estado”parlamentario en el Perú contra el presidente reaccionario en ejercicio José Jerí; es el sexto en su género en los últimos 10 año; expresión de crisis en las `alturas`, crisis en la política de la clase dominante; agudización de la colusión y pugna reaccionaria acicateada por la nueva farsa electoral fijada para el próximo 12 de abril.
El 18 de febrero, el Parlamento eligió a José Balcázar como presidente de la Mesa Directiva, lo que lo llevó a asumir de manera interina la Presidencia de la República tras la censura de José Jerí. Balcázar ocupará el cargo hasta el 28 de julio de 2026.
El Estado peruano es una dictadura burocrática, basada en la alianza de las clases explotadoras: la gran burguesía (que es la que dirige) y los terratenientes (bajo el mando del imperialismo). Los recambios de autoridades del viejo Estado peruano tienen lugar por elecciones o por golpes de estado militares o parlamentarios. Lo señalado nos permite ver con claridad el reciente desarrollo de la situación política en el país.
El telón de fondo de lo que sucede en el campo reaccionario es que el país está en una nueva coyuntura electoral para recambio de autoridades del viejo Estado peruano; para presidente, vicepresidente, diputados y senadores ( cámara que fue eliminada después del “auto-golpe” de Fujimori de1992) y que se re-introduce con las próximas elecciones.
El defenestrado José Jerí, asumió la presidencia de la República del Perú tras la vacancia de Dina Boluarte tras golpe de Estado parlamentario; tener en cuenta, que Fuerza Popular que se oponía a la vacancia hasta el último momento; por eso, el nombramiento de Jerí se interpretó como una salida de compromiso para las otras fuerzas en la contienda; Jerí era el personaje adecuado para servir de “fusible”. Dicho de una forma más sibilina, la encargatura a Jerí fue “producto de una arquitectura congresal precaria” ( Editorial “Una presidencia interina sin pretensiones de originalidad”, la República, 18 de febrero 2026).
En la pagina de Opinión “El síntoma Jerí”, por J. Bruce, la República, edición ya citada, con respecto al nombramiento que venimos comentando, se lee: “…lo pusieron, no a pesar de que tuviera rabo de paja, sino precisamente por eso. Era más fácil…controlar a un personaje tan endeble”. Nosotros precisamos la idea, era más fácil cambiarlo cuando llegue el momento. Tal como ha sucedido.
La forma como se procedió para destituir a Jerí abona también a favor de nuestra tesis sobre el verdadero motivo del golpe de Estado más reciente: controlar la administración de la farsa electoral próxima con un personaje de palabras vacuas y sin más peso que su individuo.
La vacancia de Jerí tuvo lugar mediante un consenso reaccionario precario sin más acuerdo que el reparto de los cargos y curules, para lo cual se violó la constitución y normas legales para los casos de vacancia del presidente de la República, procediéndose a usar la figura de “censura al presidente de la mesa directiva del Parlamento”.
Razones paro lo anterior: no tenían el numero requerido de parlamentarios para la vacancia que requería 87 votos, dos tercios de miembros habilitados. Y, si se hacia por el procedimiento de vacancia de acuerdo a las normas, en caso de lograr los votos necesarios, la presidencia de la República recaería en el presidente encargado de la mesa directiva Rospigliosi, un representante del fujimorismo.
El Comercio, alineado con Fuerza Popular, al respecto, editorializó: “José Jerí cayó por sus propios errores, pero el Parlamento ha marcado un pésimo precedente con esta censura.”
El golpe de Estado parlamentario que determino el encargo de la presidencia al reaccionario Jeri, en octubre del año pasado, fue motivado por la necesidad de los partidos reaccionarios, con revisionistas y oportunistas incluidos, de distanciarse del gobierno de la Dina asesina, el gobierno reaccionario más repudiado de la historia del viejo Estado peruano, con el fin de ganar réditos electorales para las elecciones de abril.
En esta oportunidad a causa o motivo real del golpe parlamentario es similar a lo sucedido en el caso de la vacancia de la Dina asesina; partiendo que los cuatro meses de la gestión de Jerí ha sido de escándalos y fracasos en toda la línea y los partidos enfrentan mayor deterioro electoral; pero, ahora, ya alcanzada una precaria convergencia reaccionaria contra Fuerza Popular (el partido fujimorista), se trata de encargar esta presidencia transitoria al personaje adecuado para controlar la farsa electoral, manejar el fraude electoral.
Como bien señala el editorial del diario reaccionario La República en “Una presidencia interina sin pretensiones de originalidad” (Lima, 18 de febrero de 2026), en la parte que citamos:
“En víspera de una elección fragmentada, el control del Ejecutivo interino representa tanto una oportunidad como un riesgo. Administrar la transición ofrece capacidad de influencia, pero también expone a desgaste y a un eventual costo electoral.”
El cambio del “fusible” Jerí por el nuevo presidente interino José Maía Balcarzer Zelada, al parecer llena las expectativas del acuerdo parlamentario reaccionario, es decir, controlar la farsa electoral y sus resultados y evitar el costo electoral de la encargatura presidencial.
Contra el próposito de sus rivales en la contienda reaccionaria, Fuerza Popular (FP) ha apoyado hasta el final a Jerí, fue la única bancada que votó contra la censura de Jerí. Con el golpe de Estado parlamentario consumado pierde “capacidad de influencia” en la farsa de abril próximo.
Los representantes de FP atacaron a López Aliaga como a su Partido Renovación Popular, tan reaccionarios como FP, porque votaron por la censura y después no apoyaron la candidatura que favorecía FP, la de María Carmen Alva (Acción Popular).
Así. quedan situadas las fuerzas políticas reaccionarias para la nueva farsa electoral a menos de mes y medio de su posible realización.
La designación del nuevo presidente interino José Balcázar es el resultado de la descomposición del viejo Estado y sus instituciones, de la carencia de verdaderos partidos políticos reaccionarios: Balcázar se ofreció a nombre propio y usando a terceros para encabezar la administración del fraude electoral, asumiendo encabezar el viejo Estado dándole continuad al régimen fascista, genocida y vendepatria iniciado en abril de 1992 con el llamado “autogolpe de Fujimori”. Viejo Estado que funciona sostenido en la burocracia estatal y las fuerzas armadas y policiales genocidas.
Balcázar a sido designado por una exigua minoría de voto, 66 a favor y 46 para su contendiente de un total de 130 congresistas. Parlamento conformado por representantes de los diferentes grupillos electorales reaccionarios, llamados “partidos”, incluidos los oportunistas de “Perú Libre” , algunas ratas de la LOD del “Bloque Magisterial” , “Bloque Socialista”, “Castillistas” y otros.
El fracaso de las próximas elecciones esta pre-programado, por eso, ante la fragmentación de las ofertas electorales; según la cual, cada uno busca el beneficio de facción, grupo e individuos tras el mascarón de más de 37 siglas electorales, que dicen llamarse partidos o frentes. Todos al servicio de una u otra de las dos facciones de la gran burguesía al servicio del imperialismo. En las elecciones reaccionarias todos los partidos que concurren a ella están por la defensa del orden de opresión y explotación.
Las declaraciones de J. Balcázar sirven como confesión de parte sobre lo que afirmamos:
«Ya no estamos aquí para pelear. Aquí no hay derechas ni izquierdas. Ese término lo crearon los franceses para la revolución, no tiene sustento ideológico. No hay. Entonces, amigos, yo creo que aquí me siento honrado con el voto de ustedes y que podamos decirle a los peruanos que es posible construir una democracia de verdad. La democracia no está funcionando. Si esa democracia no tiene correctivos, en el futuro va a desaparecer.»
“ Balcázar aseguró que el modelo económico se mantendrá y dijo que en un mes se puede hacer mucho porque «no es difícil gobernar un país.”
Es decir seguirá marchando “en automático”, esto es, manejado por la alta burocracia estatal conformada por funcionarios al servicio del imperialismo y la gran burguesía.
“ Garantizar al pueblo que habrá una transición democrática y transparente, que no haya duda. Mantener una pacificación de verdad y de que tengamos ministerios aptos para luchar contra la inseguridad ciudadana”,
“La línea económica la vamos a mantener, no estamos para experimentos»,
Las citas entrecomilladas son palabras textuales de la primera intervención de este figurón reaccionarios (los diarios del país).
En cuanto a las masas: las movilizaciones que se han dado desde mediados de 2025 al presente muestran, por un lado, la tendencia de las masas a movilizarse, éstas se tornan cada vez más activas, en creciente protesta popular que expresan su rechazo al viejo Estado, sus instituciones, representantes, partiduchos y la farsa electoral en marcha. Y, por el otro, muestra la búsqueda de los reaccionarios, revisionistas y oportunistas por arrastralas al camino inconducente de los votos y uncirlas al carro del viejo Estado.
Recambio de presidente, crisis en las `alturas`, crisis en la política de la clase dominante. Como en oportunidades anteriores, este nuevo golpe de Estado parlamentario contra José Jerí Oré, que cabezaba el régimen fascista, genocida y vendepatria inaugurado en abril de 1992, y su remplazo por Balcázar expresa no solo la aguda crisis del viejo y podrido Estado peruano, sino la del propio régimen.
Para terminar repetimos lo que hemos afirmado en octubre de 2025, solo cambiando el nombre del cabeza reaccionario:
El nuevo gobierno encabezado por el reaccionario “ Pacificador Balcázar”, cuestionado por una serie de tropelías funcionales y de representación, es solo cambio de caballos en el régimen fascista, genocida y vendepatria. Por lo tanto; este nuevo gobierno será más hambreador, genocida y vendepatria que el anterior. Buscará adecuar más su gobierno al actual gobierno del imperialismo yanqui, encabezado por el ultrarreaccionario genocida Trump.
En esta situación las masas están en la necesidad cada vez mas acuciante de resistir frente al doble ataque reaccionario, por un lado, de las fuerzas represivas del propio Estado peruano, de las bandas de los “señores de la guerra” de los grandes latifundistas y de la gran minería, más un triple ataque, de la lacra cada vez mayor de las bandas de criminales comunes protegidas por las propias autoridades civiles, militares y policiales de Estado reaccionario.
Por eso, la actual situación política es muy mala para la reacción y es muy buena para la revolución, sirve para avanzar en la tarea de la reorganización general del partido en y para un nuevo salto en la incorporación de las masas a la guerra popular. Para salir del actual recoveco a una guerra popular activa.
¡Elecciones, no! ¡Guerra popular, sí!

MPP: JOURNALISTIC NOTE- NEW COUP D’ÉTAT BY MANNER OF ELECTORAL FRAUD ( Red Library)
JOURNALISTIC NOTE
Proletarians of all countries, unite!
NEW COUP D’ÉTAT BY MANNER OF ELECTORAL FRAUD1
On February 17, a new parliamentary “coup d’état” took place in Peru against the reactionary president in office, José Jerí; the sixth of its kind in the last 10 years; an expression of crisis at the ‘heights’, crisis in the politics of the ruling class; intensification of collusion and reactionary struggle spurred by the new electoral farce set for April 12.
On February 18, Parliament elected José Balcázar as president of the Board of Directors, leading him to assume the Presidency of the Republic on an interim basis following the censure of José Jerí. Balcázar will hold the position until July 28, 2026.
The Peruvian State is a bureaucratic dictatorship based on an alliance between the exploiting classes: the big bourgeoisie (which is in charge) and the landlords (under the command of imperialism). Changes in the authorities of the old Peruvian state take place through elections or military or parliamentary coup d’états. This allows us to see clearly the recent development of the political situation in the country.
The backdrop to what is happening in the reactionary camp is that the country is in a new electoral cycle for the replacement of the authorities of the old Peruvian state: for president, vice president, deputies, and senators (a chamber that was eliminated after Fujimori’s “self-coup” in 1992) and which is being reintroduced with the upcoming elections.
The ousted José Jerí assumed the presidency of the Republic of Peru after Dina Boluarte was removed from office following a parliamentary coup d’état; it should be noted that Popular Force opposed the removal until the last moment; Therefore, Jerí’s appointment was interpreted as a compromise solution for the other forces in the conflict; Jerí was the right person to serve as a “fuse”. To put it more cryptically, Jerí’s appointment was “the product of a precarious congressional architecture” (Editorial “An interim presidency without pretensions of originality”, La República, February 18, 2026).
The manner in which Jerí was removed from office also supports our thesis regarding the true motive behind the most recent coup d’état: to control the administration of the upcoming electoral farce with a figure whose words are empty and whose influence extends no further than his own individual.
Jerí’s vacancy took place through a precarious reactionary consensus with no agreement other than the distribution of positions and seats, for which the constitution and legal norms for cases of vacancy of the president of the Republic were violated, proceeding to use the figure of “censure of the president of the board of Parliament”.
Reasons for the above: they did not have the required number of parliamentarians for the vacancy, which required 87 votes, two-thirds of eligible members. And, if the vacancy procedure was carried out in accordance with the rules, in the event of obtaining the necessary votes, the presidency of the Republic would fall to the president in charge of the board of directors, Rospigliosi, a representative of Fujimorism.
El Comercio, aligned with Popular Force, editorialized on the matter: “José Jerí fell because of his own mistakes, but Parliament has set a terrible precedent with this censure.”
The parliamentary coup d’état that led to the reactionary Jeri being appointed president in October last year was motivated by the need for reactionary parties, including revisionists and opportunists, to distance themselves from the murderous Dina government, the most reviled reactionary government in the history of the old Peruvian State, in order to gain electoral advantage in the April elections.
On this occasion, the real cause or motive behind the parliamentary coup is similar to what happened in the case of the removal of the murderous Dina; given that Jerí’s four months in office have been marked by scandals and failures across the board and the parties are facing further electoral decline; However, now that a precarious reactionary convergence against Popular Force (the Fujimorist party) has been achieved, the aim is to entrust this transitional presidency to the right person to control the electoral farce and manage the electoral fraud.
As the editorial in the reactionary newspaper La República rightly points out in “An interim presidency without pretensions of originality” (Lima, February 18, 2026), in the part we quote:
“On the eve of a fragmented election, control of the interim executive branch represents both an opportunity and a risk. Managing the transition offers influence, but also exposes the administration to attrition and a potential electoral cost.”
The change of “fuse” Jerí with the new interim president, José María Balcarzer Zelada, appears to meet the expectations of the reactionary parliamentary agreement, namely to control the electoral farce and its results and avoid the electoral cost of the presidential mandate.
Contrary to the intentions of its rivals in the reactionary contest, Popular Force (FP) supported Jerí until the end and was the only party that voted against Jerí’s censure. With the parliamentary coup d’état now complete, it loses its “capacity to influence” in next April’s farce.
The FP representatives attacked López Aliaga and his Popular Renewal Party, which is as reactionary as the FP, because they voted for the censure motion and then did not support the FP’s preferred candidate, María Carmen Alva (Popular Action).
Thus, the reactionary political forces are positioned for the new electoral farce less than a month and a half before it is likely to be realized.
The appointment of the new interim president José Balcázar is the result of the breakdown of the old State and its institutions, and the lack of genuine reactionary political parties: Balcázar offered himself on his own behalf and using third parties to head the administration of the electoral fraud, assuming leadership of the old State and continuing the fascist, genocidal, and traitorous regime that began in April 1992 with the so-called “Fujimori self-coup”. The old State functions supported by the state bureaucracy and the genocidal armed and police forces.
Balcázar was appointed by a narrow majority of votes, 66 in favor and 46 for his opponent, out of a total of 130 congressmen. The parliament is made up of representatives from various reactionary electoral groups, known as “parties”, including the opportunists of “Perú Libre”, some rats from the ROL2 of the “Magesterial Bloc”, “Socialist Bloc”, “Castillistas” and others.
The failure of the upcoming elections is pre-programmed, given the fragmentation of the electoral offerings, in which each party seeks to benefit its faction, group, and individuals behind the mask of more than 37 electoral acronyms that call themselves parties or fronts. All are at the service of one or the other of the two factions of the big bourgeoisie serving imperialism. In reactionary elections, all the parties that participate in them are in favor of defending the order of oppression and exploitation.
J. Balcázar’s declarations serve as an admission of what we affirm:
“We are no longer here to fight. There is no right or left here. That term was created by the French for the revolution; it has no ideological basis. There isn’t one. So, friends, I feel honored by your vote, and I believe we can tell Peruvians that it is possible to build a true democracy. Democracy is not working. If that democracy is not corrected, it will disappear in the future.”
Balcázar assured that the economic model will remain in place and said that a lot can be done in a month because “it is not difficult to govern a country.”
In other words, it will continue to run “automatically”, that is, managed by the high state bureaucracy made up of officials serving imperialism and the big bourgeoisie.
“Guarantee the people that there will be a democratic and transparent transition, that there is no doubt. Maintain true peace and ensure that we have ministries capable of fighting against citizen insecurity”.
“We are going to maintain the economic line; we are not here to experiment”,
The quotes in quotation marks are verbatim words from the first speech by this reactionary figure (the country’s newspapers).
As for the masses: the mobilizations that have taken place from mid-2025 to the present show, on the one hand, the tendency of the masses to mobilize, becoming increasingly active in growing popular protests that express their rejection of the old State, its institutions, representatives, petty parties, and the ongoing electoral farce. On the other hand, they show the reactionaries, revisionists, and opportunists seeking to drag them down the misguided path of voting and harness them to the cart of the old State.
Change of president, crisis at the ‘heights’, crisis in the politics of the ruling class. As on previous occasions, this new parliamentary coup against José Jerí Oré, who headed the fascist, genocidal, and homeland-selling regime that was inaugurated in April 1992, and his replacement by Balcázar expresses not only the acute crisis of the old and rotten Peruvian state, but also that of the regime itself.
To conclude, we repeat what we affirmed in October 2025, only changing the name of the reactionary head:
The new government headed by the reactionary “Peacemaker Balcázar”, questioned for the crime of rape, is just a change of horses in the fascist, genocidal and homeland-selling regime. Therefore; This new government will be more starving, genocidal and homeland-selling than the previous one. He will seek to bring his government more in line with the current government of Yankee imperialism, led by the genocidal ultra-reactionary Trump.
In this situation, the masses are in an increasingly pressing need to resist the double reactionary attack, on the one hand, from the repressive forces of the Peruvian State itself, from the gangs of the “warlords” of the big landlords and big mining companies, plus a triple attack, from the ever-growing scourge of the gangs of common criminals protected by the civil, military and police authorities of the reactionary State.
For this reason, the current political situation is very bad for the reaction and is very good for the revolution, it serves to advance the task of the general reorganization of the party in and for a new leap in the incorporation of the masses into the people’s war. To get out of the current recess into an active people’s war.
Elections, no! People’s war, yes!

NEW COUP D’ÉTAT BY MANNER OF ELECTORAL FRAUD1
On February 17, a new parliamentary “coup d’état” took place in Peru against the reactionary president in office, José Jerí; the sixth of its kind in the last 10 years; an expression of crisis at the ‘heights’, crisis in the politics of the ruling class; intensification of collusion and reactionary struggle spurred by the new electoral farce set for April 12.
On February 18, Parliament elected José Balcázar as president of the Board of Directors, leading him to assume the Presidency of the Republic on an interim basis following the censure of José Jerí. Balcázar will hold the position until July 28, 2026.
The Peruvian State is a bureaucratic dictatorship based on an alliance between the exploiting classes: the big bourgeoisie (which is in charge) and the landlords (under the command of imperialism). Changes in the authorities of the old Peruvian state take place through elections or military or parliamentary coup d’états. This allows us to see clearly the recent development of the political situation in the country.
The backdrop to what is happening in the reactionary camp is that the country is in a new electoral cycle for the replacement of the authorities of the old Peruvian state: for president, vice president, deputies, and senators (a chamber that was eliminated after Fujimori’s “self-coup” in 1992) and which is being reintroduced with the upcoming elections.
The ousted José Jerí assumed the presidency of the Republic of Peru after Dina Boluarte was removed from office following a parliamentary coup d’état; it should be noted that Popular Force opposed the removal until the last moment; Therefore, Jerí’s appointment was interpreted as a compromise solution for the other forces in the conflict; Jerí was the right person to serve as a “fuse”. To put it more cryptically, Jerí’s appointment was “the product of a precarious congressional architecture” (Editorial “An interim presidency without pretensions of originality”, La República, February 18, 2026).
The manner in which Jerí was removed from office also supports our thesis regarding the true motive behind the most recent coup d’état: to control the administration of the upcoming electoral farce with a figure whose words are empty and whose influence extends no further than his own individual.
Jerí’s vacancy took place through a precarious reactionary consensus with no agreement other than the distribution of positions and seats, for which the constitution and legal norms for cases of vacancy of the president of the Republic were violated, proceeding to use the figure of “censure of the president of the board of Parliament”.
Reasons for the above: they did not have the required number of parliamentarians for the vacancy, which required 87 votes, two-thirds of eligible members. And, if the vacancy procedure was carried out in accordance with the rules, in the event of obtaining the necessary votes, the presidency of the Republic would fall to the president in charge of the board of directors, Rospigliosi, a representative of Fujimorism.
El Comercio, aligned with Popular Force, editorialized on the matter: “José Jerí fell because of his own mistakes, but Parliament has set a terrible precedent with this censure.”
The parliamentary coup d’état that led to the reactionary Jeri being appointed president in October last year was motivated by the need for reactionary parties, including revisionists and opportunists, to distance themselves from the murderous Dina government, the most reviled reactionary government in the history of the old Peruvian State, in order to gain electoral advantage in the April elections.
On this occasion, the real cause or motive behind the parliamentary coup is similar to what happened in the case of the removal of the murderous Dina; given that Jerí’s four months in office have been marked by scandals and failures across the board and the parties are facing further electoral decline; However, now that a precarious reactionary convergence against Popular Force (the Fujimorist party) has been achieved, the aim is to entrust this transitional presidency to the right person to control the electoral farce and manage the electoral fraud.
As the editorial in the reactionary newspaper La República rightly points out in “An interim presidency without pretensions of originality” (Lima, February 18, 2026), in the part we quote:
“On the eve of a fragmented election, control of the interim executive branch represents both an opportunity and a risk. Managing the transition offers influence, but also exposes the administration to attrition and a potential electoral cost.”
The change of “fuse” Jerí with the new interim president, José María Balcarzer Zelada, appears to meet the expectations of the reactionary parliamentary agreement, namely to control the electoral farce and its results and avoid the electoral cost of the presidential mandate.
Contrary to the intentions of its rivals in the reactionary contest, Popular Force (FP) supported Jerí until the end and was the only party that voted against Jerí’s censure. With the parliamentary coup d’état now complete, it loses its “capacity to influence” in next April’s farce.
The FP representatives attacked López Aliaga and his Popular Renewal Party, which is as reactionary as the FP, because they voted for the censure motion and then did not support the FP’s preferred candidate, María Carmen Alva (Popular Action).
Thus, the reactionary political forces are positioned for the new electoral farce less than a month and a half before it is likely to be realized.
The appointment of the new interim president José Balcázar is the result of the breakdown of the old State and its institutions, and the lack of genuine reactionary political parties: Balcázar offered himself on his own behalf and using third parties to head the administration of the electoral fraud, assuming leadership of the old State and continuing the fascist, genocidal, and traitorous regime that began in April 1992 with the so-called “Fujimori self-coup”. The old State functions supported by the state bureaucracy and the genocidal armed and police forces.
Balcázar was appointed by a narrow majority of votes, 66 in favor and 46 for his opponent, out of a total of 130 congressmen. The parliament is made up of representatives from various reactionary electoral groups, known as “parties”, including the opportunists of “Perú Libre”, some rats from the ROL2 of the “Magesterial Bloc”, “Socialist Bloc”, “Castillistas” and others.
The failure of the upcoming elections is pre-programmed, given the fragmentation of the electoral offerings, in which each party seeks to benefit its faction, group, and individuals behind the mask of more than 37 electoral acronyms that call themselves parties or fronts. All are at the service of one or the other of the two factions of the big bourgeoisie serving imperialism. In reactionary elections, all the parties that participate in them are in favor of defending the order of oppression and exploitation.
J. Balcázar’s declarations serve as an admission of what we affirm:
“We are no longer here to fight. There is no right or left here. That term was created by the French for the revolution; it has no ideological basis. There isn’t one. So, friends, I feel honored by your vote, and I believe we can tell Peruvians that it is possible to build a true democracy. Democracy is not working. If that democracy is not corrected, it will disappear in the future.”
Balcázar assured that the economic model will remain in place and said that a lot can be done in a month because “it is not difficult to govern a country.”
In other words, it will continue to run “automatically”, that is, managed by the high state bureaucracy made up of officials serving imperialism and the big bourgeoisie.
“Guarantee the people that there will be a democratic and transparent transition, that there is no doubt. Maintain true peace and ensure that we have ministries capable of fighting against citizen insecurity”.
“We are going to maintain the economic line; we are not here to experiment”,
The quotes in quotation marks are verbatim words from the first speech by this reactionary figure (the country’s newspapers).
As for the masses: the mobilizations that have taken place from mid-2025 to the present show, on the one hand, the tendency of the masses to mobilize, becoming increasingly active in growing popular protests that express their rejection of the old State, its institutions, representatives, petty parties, and the ongoing electoral farce. On the other hand, they show the reactionaries, revisionists, and opportunists seeking to drag them down the misguided path of voting and harness them to the cart of the old State.
Change of president, crisis at the ‘heights’, crisis in the politics of the ruling class. As on previous occasions, this new parliamentary coup against José Jerí Oré, who headed the fascist, genocidal, and homeland-selling regime that was inaugurated in April 1992, and his replacement by Balcázar expresses not only the acute crisis of the old and rotten Peruvian state, but also that of the regime itself.
To conclude, we repeat what we affirmed in October 2025, only changing the name of the reactionary head:
The new government headed by the reactionary “Peacemaker Balcázar”, questioned for the crime of rape, is just a change of horses in the fascist, genocidal and homeland-selling regime. Therefore; This new government will be more starving, genocidal and homeland-selling than the previous one. He will seek to bring his government more in line with the current government of Yankee imperialism, led by the genocidal ultra-reactionary Trump.
In this situation, the masses are in an increasingly pressing need to resist the double reactionary attack, on the one hand, from the repressive forces of the Peruvian State itself, from the gangs of the “warlords” of the big landlords and big mining companies, plus a triple attack, from the ever-growing scourge of the gangs of common criminals protected by the civil, military and police authorities of the reactionary State.

To get out of the current recess into an active people’s war.
