Voting
is endorsing the social system and electing another government that
is more starving, more genocidal and sells the country than the
previous one.
Marx
noted: "The oppressed are authorized to decide once every
several years which members of the oppressing class are to represent
them and crush them in Parliament!"
In
Peru, elections are an instrument of domination by large landowners
and big bourgeois for the replacement of reactionary authorities,
serving to preserve or develop the Peruvian State, a
landowner-bureaucratic State, the formal republic, the dictatorship
of large landowners and big bourgeois at the service of imperialism.
The
elections have been, as could not be otherwise within the prevailing
social order, an instrument in the hands of thecomprador bourgeoisie
and the bureaucratic bourgeoisie. This is the main thing in the
electoral processes of the Peruvian State in the previous century and
so far in the 21st century and it is what has determined the class
character of the elections in the country.
The
people cannot expect anything good from the old semi-colonial and
semi-feudal Peruvian society on which a bureaucratic capitalism
develops at the service of imperialism, mainly North American and the
old State that represents and defends it.
The
old society of exploitation and oppression, one of the most unequal
in the world, cannot offer any real solution, much less one that can
satisfy the growing basic needs of the increasingly neglected masses,
and only offers more unemployment, longer work hours to survive,
lower wages and salaries, fewer rights and greater cuts in
achievements and benefits. That it would continue to increase with
the black economic perspective of the outdated Peruvian society and
greater exploitation and oppression for the people. It is good to
repeat it, the economic base of the old society is semi-feudal and
semi-colonial on which imperialism develops bureaucratic capitalism
at its service.
On
that economic basis, outdated and reactionary institutions are built
that only survive by the force of inertia and the weapons that
sustain them, spilling more and more and bathing in the incendiary
blood of the unarmed, vilely oppressed people, who began to say
Enough on May 17, 1980, and who believe less and less in the old
State and expect less from the government every day. In conclusion,
discredit, disorder, chaos in addition to corruption and the most
shameless cynicism corrode the landowner-bureaucratic State for whose
government they compete again frivolously and happily, with verbal
skirmishes and perhaps the occasional clash, two demagogues who are
the ones left in contention, with poorly concealed interests and
unbridled ambitions, K. Fujimori and R. Sánchez.
Therefore
it is worth asking what the elections imply? Does the people need to
go to the amphorae? Is it convenient for the people to vote? Looking
at Peru's own experience, what revolutionary transformation has the
people achieved through electoral votes or parliamentary activities?
Every conquest has been achieved in practice by the popular struggle
and it is based on its results that the laws that recognized them
were enacted, reducing them from the beginning or later following a
process to reduce or annul them; the development of labor legislation
is sufficient proof. And the conquest of political rights has been
the same. Clearly, all this apart from the conquest of Power, since
for a revolutionary it is only conquered by revolutionary violence
which in Peru is simply popular war from the countryside to the city.
But
let us also ask ourselves what benefits the people have really
obtained, in the facts of participation in the Constituent Assembly
and in the general elections from 1980 to the present; of the first,
simply serve the restructuring of the reactionary Peruvian State; As
for the second, the emergence of successive reactionary governments
from Belaunde to Castillo, each one more starving, genocidal and
country-selling than its predecessor.
And
what can the people, the masses, expect from participating in the
2026 general elections, now in their second round? Well, simply and
concretely, voting is endorsing the social system and electing
another government that is more starving, more genocidal, and sells
the country! Well, this is what the need of the old State determines.
And
what can the people, the masses, expect from participating in the
2026 general elections, now in their second round? Well, simply and
concretely, voting is endorsing the social system and electing
another government that is more starving, more genocidal, and sells
the country! Well, this is determined by the need of the old State to
defend its obsolete society against the development of the popular
struggle and mainly against the people's war, which despite the
difficulties has to continue its invincible march to conquer Power
throughout the country, complete the democratic revolution and
continue uninterruptedly with the socialist revolution.
The
people cannot serve their exploiters and oppressors, they cannot help
them solve their problems, they cannot endorse their social system,
much less serve to elect another government worse than their
predecessors; for that is not their path nor does it serve their own
interests. The only thing that fits today is NOT TO VOTE!; It is the
only truly popular response to the elections of the reactionary State
and its current fascist, genocidal, and country-selling regime now
headed by the reactionary fool Balcazar.
The
boycott of reactionary elections is a fair and correct tactic that
serves the people and the revolution!
II
THE
REACTION HAS SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE FAILURE OF THEIR REACTIONARY
ELECTIONS IN THE FIRST ROUND THAT'S WHY THE TRUE POPULAR RESPONSE TO
THE SECOND ROUND OF THIS REACTIONARY FARCE IS:
DON'T
VOTE!
Let's
look at the official data that shows the failure of the reactionary
farce:
Taking
into account the report of the Results of the General Elections of
April 12/13, 2026 from the National Office of Electoral Processes
(ONPE), there are these results:
Eligible
voters 27,325,432 100%
Total

Total
absentees 7,157,687 26,194 %

The

a death), in absolute and relative figures, was:
16,738,039
(56.8%) of 27,325,432 of the total eligible voters (100%)
The
bare figures show the results of the electoral farce of April 12/13,
2026 to legitimize the replacement of authorities of the old Peruvian
State. Failure of the reactionary farce of the 2026 general
elections, the greatest crisis of the old and rotten Peruvian State
and the current fascist, genocidal and country-selling regime
established on April 5, 1992 with the so-called Fujmori self-coup
directed by the CIA.yanqui.
III
OUR
READING OF THE ELECTION RESULTS
1.
They highlight the very low vote of the first two candidates, none of
them, neither the candidate of Fuerza Popular, founded by the
fascist, genocidal and traitor Fujimori, Keiko Fujimori, nor the
candidate of the group Together for Peru, founded by the former APRA
prime minister Jehude Simons, Roberto Sánchez, reach even 15% of the
votes cast; very far, therefore, from the 50% plus one vote that its
constitution demands to assume the presidency.
2.
As in the 2011, 2016 and 2021 elections, there will be a second round
that is presented as the Fujimorism vs. anti-Fujimorism dilemma; but,
in reality it is between who represents in this new electoral farce
thecomprador faction of the big bourgeoisie, Keiko Fujimori of FP, on
the one hand, and who represents the bureaucratic faction of the big
bourgeoisie, Roberto Sánchez.
3.
It is also very clear that absenteeism in absolute and relative terms
was very similar to that of the 2021 elections, expressing the
spontaneous rejection of the reactionary elections and the
institutions and representatives of the old State, it has been
7,157,687, that is, 26,194% of eligible voters; The one who achieved
the highest vote in April, K. Fujimori, obtained 2,877,678 votes,
approximately 10,528% of the total electoral roll; here is the
much-celebrated victory of Keiko or, even worse, of Roberto Sánchez,
who came in second place among the losers of this reactionary
electoral contest. Sánchez, who is raising the program of the
bureaucratic faction, has borrowed Pedro Castillo's campaign hat and
presents himself as the political heir of “castillismo”, that is,
of the opportunist counterrevolutionary rondero Pedro Castillo.
3.
Sánchez, in this second round of the reactionary farce, presents
himself as “the lesser evil” to try to overcome the rejection of
the great masses of the old State, its civil, military and
ecclesiastical institutions, its parties and representatives that are
expressed in the cold but eloquent electoral figures.
4.
It is necessary to express that we reject, repudiate and brand with
fire the rats of the opportunist line of the revisionist and
capitulationist right (LOD), which in the first round called for a
“flawed vote” “against the electoral farce” seeking to
legitimize the reactionary elections with greater participation;
while, on the other hand, he participated with candidates on some
electoral lists of the various reactionary parties. Now, the LOD is
trying to surprise again with some Do Not Vote! signs, while
negotiating its support for Sánchez's JPP.
5.
If we put together all the opportunists and revisionists and
reactionaries who raise the program of the bureaucratic faction of
the big bourgeoisie, together they do not even reach 15% of the valid
votes. That is to say, all of these together who, in collusion and
struggle, are on the program of the bureaucratic faction in the 2026
General Elections, together they have been crushed by the very
amphorae that they adore so much, now even adding them together they
do not reach the percentage of non-voters, what a great triumph they
can boast. For their part, the representatives of the purchasing
faction have reaped one of their worst electoral failures, with
Keiko, López Aliaga and others, together they are very far from
reaching Keiko's 39% in the first round of 2016.
6.
The role of Together for Peru (JPP), as head of the bureaucratic
faction in the presidential and legislative elections through its
propaganda, electoral disguise, candidate quotas and offering of
perks serves parliamentary cretinism, revisionism, opportunism and
betrayal of the class and the people. That is why it tends to drag in
all the opportunists, revisionists and sell-outs, starting with the
rats of the LOD.
7.
The dispersion of votes and lack of definition mark the General
Elections of April 2026; The second round is presented as the most
sinister farce to manipulate the masses, both by the representatives
of the compraist faction and the bureaucratic faction of the big
bourgeoisie, to serve the same objective of trying to drag the masses
to appoint a new President “anointed by a majority of votes”
(“legitimized”). Both candidates and the mainstream media,
knowing the masses' rejection of the elections, reactionary
politicians and parties shown in the first round, resort to
instilling fear by raising the threat of the "worst of evils"
that the victory of the opponent would cause, to call for voting for
their candidacy as the "lesser evil."
8.
Reaction and imperialism need “legitimized” authorities in the
face of their greatest collapse to continue applying their genocide
against the popular struggle and their “low intensity war” to
seek to annihilate the PCP and the people's war, to conjure the
general reorganization of the Party in and for the people's war.
10.
Furthermore, whoever is appointed in the second round will not have a
majority in parliament, both in the chamber of senators and in the
chamber of deputies. With the dispersion of seats, a more aggravated
collusion and struggle of groups and factions of exploiters for
circumstantial or “ad hoc” majorities will develop. The evil that
further rots this entire old State will worsen, its bicameral
parliament will not be benches of parties but of individuals, each of
whom represents themselves in the vast majority of cases.
11.
The contest between the new president of the landowner-bureaucratic
State at the service of imperialism, mainly Yankee, and the
parliament is therefore pre-scheduled and will be resolved by impasse
in the senate, which cannot be dissolved.
12.
The Senate constitutionally becomes the key institution to decide the
fate of the president; the April results give Fuerza Popular its
dominance, which becomes the main force in the Senate with 22 seats.
But it does not have an absolute majority, which will force constant
negotiations with other parties. Together for Peru is the second
force, "while groups such as Renovación Popular and the Good
Government Party position themselves as key actors in governability."
“With 60 senators and multiple forces in dispute, the real
challenge will be to build consensus.” (the quotation marks are
from journalistic comments)
Therefore,
the restructuring of the old State is a necessity of imperialism and
reaction, that is why the struggle between new "reforms" or
"new" constitution will continue. The rats of the LOD as
servants of the old State raise their slogan of "new
constitution" to try to save the old State and crush the
struggle of the masses and conjure their new incorporation into the
people's war.
In
conclusion, everything shows that the Peruvian State has become
weaker at its foundations and will have to rely more and more on its
armed and repressive forces; and it will be clearer to the people
that the armed forces are the backbone of the State and that this
State is nothing more than organized violence for the maintenance of
the slavery of the Peruvian people and that only serves to be swept
away.
Elections,
no! People's war, yes!
The
boycott of reactionary elections is a fair and correct tactic that
serves the people and the revolution!
