• Latin America Dina Boluarte, the patient political chess player who presides over Peru

Conspiracy, one of the propaganda tools that Latin American revolutions like the most, has also reached Dantesque proportions during the Peruvian crisis.

One of Pedro Castillo's lawyers denounced that the former president was given

on Wednesday and that he

. "

As if he were a Creole version of

.

, Castillo's

former

, insisted along the same lines .

At the moment of truth, the teacher from Cajamarca refused to carry out toxicological tests on him.

But who took all the spotlights on Saturday was

, Castillo's

and his penultimate prime minister, who supported the ousted president throughout the crisis.

About to turn 80, he has gone into hiding.

"The nation's prosecutor, without reason, has denounced me for being

and for disturbing justice. Now she does it for rebellion and other crimes, just for hearing the presidential message. Given this, I go into hiding" , argued Castillo's countryman, the most controversial of his collaborators.

Not only his presence and influence over Castillo convinced the investigators that Torres was participating from the front line in the

attempt .

The speech that Castillo gave to dissolve Congress, in which he imposed an emergency government, decreed a curfew, intervened the Judiciary and the Constitutional Court, and called an Assembly to impose a new Constitution, also evoked, with very similar

, Torres' previous pronouncements.

The former president and those closest to him also tried to arrest the prosecutor and withdraw the protection of Parliament.

Already from hiding, the lawyer accused the prosecutor of separating him from Castillo's defense to isolate and humiliate him and thus give "the message that no one from the town dares to govern the country. My unwavering loyalty to Pedro Castillo is my loyalty to the village".

This is not the only investigation opened against Torres, previously accused of participating in

and being part of the criminal organization that Castillo himself allegedly headed.

The veteran lawyer, also from Chota (Cajamarca), was reviled by almost everyone, including by

, leader of PL, who considered him the de facto president of the country and the culprit behind Castillo's departure from the Marxist-Leninist organization "taking away his main political base, breaking up the bench (parliamentary group), encouraging dissent from our congressmen, despising the PL program. It led him to dissolve the Congress and prepared a coup speech like a good fuji (Fujimorista)", summed up Cerrón.

With the same arguments that the leaders of PL exhibit, the fight in the street of the most irredeemable followers of Castillism continues.

The Plaza de San Martín and its surroundings were once again the scene of

, with tear gas and sometimes with excessive violence, despite the fact that the protesters numbered no more than a few hundred.

The new president, Dina Boluarte, concerned about what she sees on the streets and about the roadblocks in the south of the country, deepened her conciliatory message and called for "calm and serenity."

"

The National Human Rights Coordinator (Cnddhh) denounced that the Police had committed

while demanding respect for the right to protest.

The president echoed this call and assured that there were seven detainees, plus eight injured among protesters and police.

new cabinet

After almost two hours behind schedule and a lot of suspense, Boluarte swore in his cabinet, which is headed by a lawyer,

, who has had a low profile in the past.

An appointment with which he sought to reach a certain consensus with Congress, where he currently does not have definitive support.

This former dean of the Lima Bar Association maintains several tax investigations against him and was also linked to the controversial former judge

The Lima press took a few minutes to find out that against Arana, a former criminal prosecutor, there are also complaints of harassment, he even had to leave his previous position after reaching an out-of-court agreement.

As chancellor, the president has opted for the former Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs,

, with whom she has worked in these first hours after the international barrages of Castillo's allies, such as the Mexican

or the Colombian

.

Boluarte has opted for gender parity, something that Castillo never respected in his five administrations, and has left two portfolios vacant, that of Transportation and that of Labor.
