My friend, the photographer garyHe came to the restaurant for a chicken noodle with a lot of Chinese onion, tomato and ground chili. To drink, she asked for a pitcher of frozen lemonade to lower the heat. “María, since last year the country has suffered the attack of radical sectors that, at the height of insanity, defend a corrupt and coup leader like Pedro Castillo. The hardest hit are the residents of Apurímac, Puno and Cusco, where until now businesses and roads cannot be reopened because violent pickets have been there for two months.
LOOK: The day of love
I wonder, what are these vandals working on, what do they support their families with, what money will they use to buy their children’s school supplies now that there are only two weeks left before the start of the school year? The country needs to reactivate, grow, develop the economy so that it generates jobs. Without jobs there is no wealth, you cannot buy houses, artifacts, clothes, pay for medicines or go for a walk.
I just read that cash remittances are not arriving in Puno because the roads are blocked and the Juliaca airport paralyzed. People who receive Pension 65 and other types of social assistance cannot collect their money at the Banco de la Nación. Whose fault? The radical left that doesn’t care about the poor, except to bring them to power. Once there they screwed themselves to power not to work for others, but to get rich, as is the case with Fidel Castro, the Kirchners, Hugo Chávez or the Nicaraguan satrap Daniel Ortega.
In these circumstances, the State should have a greater presence
That the population feels that there is a government behind to help them, not to give things away like the communists do until they run out of money. In particular, he should support small businesses, which are the country’s largest employers and the most fragile. They have been hit because since the pandemic began they have not been able to reactivate and the campaigns for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, National Holidays and even Christmas have fallen. The emporiums of Gamarra, Mesa Redonda, Las Malvinas and Mercado Central justly demand that the State provide them with credits to get afloat.
Another important sector is tourism. Because of the radicals and the violent, Cusco is dying. No tourists arrive and the Imperial City, which lives on foreign and national visitors, is dying. Who are the most harmed? Well, the workers, the townspeople. Enough of violence, of blockades, we need to work. The people must come out to defend the right to work, to free movement, to tranquility. We cannot be at the mercy of the radicals, they are few, we are more than them”. Wow, how true Gary is telling.
