Arequipa (Agenzia Fides) – “The bicentenary of our national independence confronts us with a multidimensional crisis, perhaps the worst in our life as a republic. The health crisis that has intensified as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic crisis it has triggered add to the political and social crisis that we have been going through for several years and the end of which is not in sight. The candidate Pedro Castillo won the presidential election with just over 40,000 votes ahead of the candidate Keiko Fujimori. Peru was already divided, and the appointment of the new cabinet of ministers has not raised hopes of national unity”, this is how the Archbishop of Arequipa, Javier Del Río Alba, describes the current situation in Peru.
