Humala and Fujimori pardon rumors

Humala and rumor to pardon

No doubt, for those who have been following the humanitarian reprieve for former President Alberto Fujimori, President Alan Garcia intends to grant it before leaving office. More than a rumor, a certainty.

The deal under the table between APRA and the Fujimori has left not only betray the past five years, but recently has returned to state in Parliament, in which Fujimori has returned to save the APRA: adoption of the "Report Bagua, "the acquittal of former President of Essalud, the law favors the accused of corruption, among others.

But there is also a more powerful reason that drives Alan Garcia to pardon Fujimori, the former needs a parliamentary group that covers your back in the next Congress. APRA with banks reduced to a minimum, Garcia is in no small bench Fujimori their salvation from which you can start testing the parliamentary arithmetic: 37 Fujimori, 4 of the APRA and, very likely, 9 National Solidarity = 50 congressmen, they do, they may try to defend against a ruling Garcia predictably hostile (nationalist and peruposibilistas).

So Alan Garcia before leaving office, intends to pardon Fujimori is a certainty and if you have not done so far is, first, because he was waiting for the outcome of the habeas corpus before the Constitutional Court (via that all indications, be cooled with the results of the second round) and on the other hand, because it is still evaluating the costs and benefits of such a decision that obviously generate a great national and international rejection. In other words, he wants but does not end in mind.

The expectation, therefore, focuses on the attitude of President-elect would take before an eventual Humala humanitarian pardon granted by an output García and Alberto Fujimori for. Everything seems to indicate that it should be rejected outright, but rumor has emerged, however, surprisingly, she would profile. We insist that it is just a rumor, but increasingly has been listening.

Faced with this possibility, still hard to believe, we believe it would be a grave mistake for the following reasons:

1. It would be a mistake to believe that such an attitude the Fujimori and APRA would stay calm and give the new government a truce, a "honeymoon". By contrast, solved the main problem for the Fujimori-have for safekeeping to the head, in Peru or Japan, would be responsible for developing an opposition front in partnership with the APRA, the press related to this sector (Mail, The Reason , Express, Peru.21, Channel 2) and its allies ever (Rafael Rey, Monsignor Cipriani, Luis Giampietri, among others). In addition, it would make an immense favor to Garcia as this would ensure Fujimori gratitude over the next five years.

2. Would lose the confidence of key sectors that supported Ollanta Humala in the second round: the Nobel Mario Vargas Llosa, the human rights movement, the women's movement, the labor movement, several groups of young people, intellectuals and artists, among others; many of whom voted for Humala, precisely to prevent the daughter of former dictator comes to power to pardon her father. The absurdity is that, finally, Alberto Fujimori to go free.

3. Certainly we agree that no person deserves to die in prison. But that's not the case of Alberto Fujimori as the doctors have already determined the Cancer Hospital. Although suffering from a sore tongue, this is not terminal or serious and, therefore, corresponding is to continue with their medical treatment as any inmate. Moreover, it has privileged conditions in their jail Diroes special, if you are depressed is because he was the real candidate and not his daughter and lost a set.

4. The international community, especially the human rights system, condemn this action because it would be seen as favoring impunity in human rights and a breach of international commitments and judgments of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Barrios Altos case and Cantuta). Recall once again that human rights crimes is not valid pardon or any other similar and the conviction of Fujimori is a case nationally and internationally.

Consequently, we believe that it is only a rumor and that, to get the time, President-elect lift their voices in protest against what would be, without doubt, a national and international scandal. Otherwise it would be a grave mistake and a bad omen.
