Perus pro-yankee President Kuczynski announced his resignation to avoid a further impeachment which was set for March 22th, requested again by Keiko Fujimori, daughter of the genocidal ex-president Fujimori and leader of the opposition in the Peruvian parliament. Kuczynski accused said opposition of being responsible for his resignation. The opposition, with a majority of seats in the parliament, has according to him blocked governmental work from the first day of his term. Fujimorist politicians had previously published secretly recorded videos, showing ministers and supporters of Kuczynski, who offer public construction projects in return for votes against the impeachment. Kuczynsnki should also be involved in the corruption scandal surrounding the construction company “Odebrecht”, alongside 500 other politicians and ex-presidents across Latin America and Africa. The huge company is located in 30 countries and made huge headlines in 2015 after the former CEO Odebrecht was charged with white-collar crime, corruption, money laundering and price fixing. The Odebrecht company had a whole network of politicians in its pocket, all located in the oppressed nations of Latin America and Africa. This tale of corruption in Latin America continues with the acquaintance of the recordings of Kuczynskis corruption. This clearly shows the merging of the comprador bourgeoisie and the state in the oppressed nations, which leads to bureaucraticcapitalism.

Against these issues of bureaucratic capitalism and imperialism the Peruvian people fight. And it is the Peruvian people under the leadership of the Communist Party of Peru that will end these. Guided by the almighty weapon of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, Gonzalo-Thought, principally Gonzalo-Thought.
