This panel discussion, recorded April 16, 2022, analyzes the political crises that led to and have followed the arrest of Peru’s most recently elected President, Pedro Castillo.
The arrest and deposition of Peru’s most recent elected President, Pedro Castillo, is only the latest chapter in a long political crisis going back about almost a decade. Its content is the increasing assertion of popular power against that of a small propertied elite. This assertion has been met with a combination of force and fraud. However, they have clearly not succeeded in suppressing the masses. As their protests continue, this pane reflects on the crisis, its long historical roots, possible outcomes and the factors that will determine them.
