Podcast appearances and mentions of Alberto Fujimori

Convidados: Danilo Alves, editor da GloboNews Internacional e enviado especial para a cobertura das eleições no Peru e na Colômbia; e Maurício Santoro, doutor em Ciência Política pelo Iuperj (Instituto Universitário de Pesquisas do Rio de Janeiro) e colaborador do Centro de Estudos Político-Estratégicos da Marinha do Brasil. Os resultados ainda não são oficiais, mas as apurações dos votos na Colômbia e no Peru indicam que os dois países elegeram presidentes de direita. A eleição peruana foi realizada em 7 de junho e está com 99,7% dos votos contabilizados: Keiko Fujimori tem cerca de 40 mil votos de vantagem sobre o candidato de esquerda, Roberto Sánchez. Keiko é filha de Alberto Fujimori, ditador peruano que governou o país entre 1990 e 2000 e que foi condenado por corrupção e crimes contra a humanidade. Na Colômbia, os eleitores foram às urnas neste domingo (21) e elegeram o empresário Abelardo de la Espriella, de acordo com a contagem preliminar: são menos de 250 mil votos sobre Iván Cepeda, senador e candidato que tem o apoio do atual presidente Gustavo Petro. Abelardo fez campanha baseado nos discursos "anti-establishment" e “linha-dura” contra o crime, inspirado no presidente de El Salvador Nayib Bukele. O resultado nas urnas reforça a tendência das últimas eleições sul-americanas, que elegeram candidatos do campo conservador. Neste episódio, Natuza Nery tem dois convidados. Primeiro, ela fala com Danilo Alves, correspondente da GloboNews que foi a Lima e está em Bogotá, sobre o resultado das eleições. Depois, Natuza entrevista o cientista político Maurício Santoro sobre o movimento de direita que se forma no continente e a influência de Donald Trump nesse processo histórico.

Más de 300.000 mujeres fueron esterilizadas a la fuerza o coaccionadas durante el Gobierno del expresidente peruano Alberto Fujimori. Un plan de control de la población, para reducir la pobreza, que se tradujo en una forma de violencia, según la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), basada en la discriminación de género y dirigida especialmente contra mujeres pobres e indígenas. Esas víctimas temen ahora la llegada al poder de la hija del expresidente, Keiko Fujimori. Hablamos con algunas de ellas en este reportaje de Alberto Ortiz. Escuchar audio

Para seguir analizando el momento histórico que atraviesa Colombia, conversamos con Ernesto Samper. Fue presidente de Colombia entre 1994 y 1998, en una etapa marcada por profundos desafíos políticos, económicos y de seguridad. A lo largo de su trayectoria pública también se desempeñó como senador, ministro, embajador de Colombia en España y secretario general de la Unión de Naciones Suramericanas, UNASUR. Samper aborda la segunda vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales que este 21 de junio enfrenta en las urnas al ultraderechista Abelardo de la Espriella, favorito en las encuestas, con el izquierdista Iván Cepeda. "Si gana De la Espriella, Colombia volverá al pasado", ha declarado Samper. "Nunca había visto una injerencia de Estados Unidos tan agresiva en América Latina", ha agregado. A su juicio, "las redes están convirtiendo las elecciones en mecanismos de división".Además, contamos con un reportaje de Alberto Ortiz uno de los episodios más controvertidos del gobierno de Alberto Fujimori en Perú: la política de esterilizaciones forzadas aplicada durante la década de 1990. A partir del testimonio del víctimas como María Elena Carbajal y Mavila Ríos, arrojamos luz sobre las consecuencias de estas prácticas, que afectaron a más de 300.000 mujeres y que fueron calificadas por la ONU en 2024 como una forma de violencia y discriminación contra las mujeres más vulnerables.También hacemos un repaso a la actualidad del continente, desde las relaciones entre España y México hasta la condena a cuatro años de cárcel el hijo del expresidente Bolsonaro o la nueva llamada al diálogo en Bolivia.Escuchar audio

Ralph talks to journalist and M.Div. Chris Hedges about Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence. Then, Ralph speaks with Rick Engler (former member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation Board) about Trump's proposed closing of that agency. Finally, Ralph pays tribute to some recently departed friends.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.I think that Pope Leo kind of missed the point of AI. In that he describes that it could be a positive force for Catholic education (these are his words), compassionate health care, creative platforms that tell the Christian story with truth and beauty. I think those were all indications to me that he didn't quite understand what AI is about. It's not about education, it's not about compassion, it's not about truth, and it's not about beauty. It is a very pernicious force that will go beyond, of course, replacing all sorts of labor, but creating a world where fact and fiction are blurred together.Chris HedgesI think that mass organization is kind of all we have left as we barrel towards an authoritarian state. Congress doesn't function, certainly doesn't function as Congress was designed to function. They have surrendered their traditional constitutional authority, including, of course, the call for Congress to declare war. And this kind of unitary executive branch—this was put into place, by the way, before Trump. He's just taken advantage of it…And I think that it's absolutely fundamental that we recapture that kind of militancy, that kind of organized workforce that has traditionally throughout our history been such an important corrective to democracy—along with, of course, journalism.Chris HedgesRick Engler is a former U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board member and labor advocate who founded the New Jersey Work Environment Council. He has advocated for successful landmark state and national public policies that ensure workers and the public's “right to know” about potential chemical dangers, and that promote safer processes, chemical incident prevention, and whistleblower protection.The CSB is unique. I mean, nobody would think of abolishing the National Transportation Safety Board. And no one should think about abolishing the Chemical Safety Board, which does the same thing. It's not about issuing, in this case, fines or violations. It's about trying to understand the underlying causes of what led to these incidents.Rick Engler[Trump's allies] have a certain religious fervor about this. When I talk to plant managers, the plant managers of the corporations are much more careful and nuanced in most cases. They don't want their own plants to explode. But somewhere at the higher corporate levels, I think they're just willing to take the risks that the tradeoff for them is: Trump is supporting them in so many ways, why interfere? Why become part of some nuanced opposition to the most extreme EPA attacks? But I do think the elimination of the CSB is driven by the Trump administration in a way that wouldn't be happening if it was just left to the chemical industry trade associations alone. I'm not sure that's an adequate answer. I'm actually kind of puzzled by it. Because it's also really clear that if there was any one major incident, it would cost so much money—not only in the human tragedy of the lives lost and neighbors harmed and evacuations and shelter-in-place and property damage, but these incidents destroy facilities.Rick EnglerNews 6/12/26* Our top stories this week come to us from California, where, after an excruciatingly protracted wait, authorities have finally called some of the most high-profile races. In Los Angeles, Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has secured the second slot in the mayoral race, beating out reactionary former reality television star Spencer Pratt, PBS reports. Pratt garnered significant attention from conservative media for his slick AI-generated ads and his false claims about living in an airstream trailer after his LA home burned down in the recent fires. In actuality, he was living in the posh Bel Air hotel, billed as a campaign expense, per TMZ. Now the question becomes whether or not Raman will be able to expand her coalition to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.* If Raman's victory is the good news however, the bad news is that Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton will advance in the gubernatorial race. He will face off against former California Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who has accepted large campaign contributions from the California Association of Realtors, the California Medical Association and even Chevron, per CalMatters. This outcome means progressive billionaire Tom Steyer will not advance. Many are placing the blame for this on former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who remained in the race despite clearly failing to achieve any real viability throughout the race. This has drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Warren's perceived role as a spoiler candidate vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary, particularly since Porter is a highly visible protégé of Senator Warren. In his concession speech, Steyer closed by telling his supporters “Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California – and the country – you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”* Elsewhere in California however, progressives scored major victories. In California's 22nd congressional district, Bernie Sanders-backed Randy Villegas secured a spot in the top two, beating out his opponent Jasmine Bains, who enjoyed the backing of AIPAC and 53 corporate donors, according to the American Prospect. He will face Republican incumbent Congressman David Valadao in November. Even more impressive is the victory of progressive challenger Mai Vang in California's 7th district primary, where she actually emerged as the top vote getter, beating out longtime incumbent Congresswoman Doris Matsui. However, because Matsui, who is 81 years old, won the second-most votes, she will still advance to the general election.* Another much-anticipated primary was held this week on the exact other end of the country. In Maine, Graham Platner trounced his opponents in the Democratic Senate race, winning over 70% of the vote despite a concerted campaign against him in the national press. In his victory speech, CNN reports Platner wrote off the smears, saying “They don't know Maine.” Furthermore, he said “If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change…To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.” Platner will face off against five-term incumbent Senator Susan Collins in a race that will be decisive if Democrats are to have any chance of retaking the Senate in the 2026 midterms.* Turning towards the plains, two candidates are starting to show a surprising level of viability in heavily Republican, rural states. First, in Idaho, Todd Achilles is running as an independent against Republican incumbent Senator Jim Risch. Achilles served as a tank commander and armor officer in the Army before a varied career in the corporate world, education and now politics, according to Independent Voter News. The most striking development in this race is a new poll showing that while “Achilles starts out…behind by 14 points at 48-34…once voters hear biographical information about him and negative messaging about Senator Risch, he gains a full 17 points…[leading] Risch, 41% to 38%.” If accurate, this would be a stunningly close race in a state where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by a margin greater than 5-to-1.* In South Dakota, Brian Bengs, another veteran turned educator – turned, in this case, National Park Ranger – is running shockingly close to incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. According to the South Dakota Standard, the latest polling shows Rounds leading Bengs 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided. Moreover, like the Achilles poll, when voters are given biographical information about Bengs and negative messaging about Senator Rounds, that margin flips to 44% in favor of Bengs, compared to just 42% for Rounds. If these polls are accurate and independent candidates – not just Achilles and Bengs but also Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Seth Bodnar in Montana – prove viable, perhaps even victorious, in states long seen as out of reach for non-Republicans, there will have to be a serious reckoning with the toxicity of the Democratic Party brand in the American heartland.* In Michigan, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has picked up perhaps the most critical possible endorsement in the state: that of the United Auto Workers. In a statement, the union wrote that “UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn't afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity…From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.” Whether because of this endorsement or not, El-Sayed now seems to be in the driver's seat in this primary. This endorsement dovetails with UAW President Shawn Fain's rumored frustration with the mainstream labor movement for not doing more to back labor candidates, such as Clare Valdez in New York, who was a UAW organizer before entering the State Assembly.* On the House floor meanwhile, lame-duck dissident Republican Congressman Thomas Massie delivered a barn-burner of a speech this week, demanding that the government reopen the investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Al Jazeera reports. The attack on the Liberty, a US Navy vessel, killed 34 service members and injured 171 others. For decades, Israel has claimed that this was nothing more than an accidental incident of friendly fire, but the surviving veterans have long disputed this explanation, contending that it was a deliberate attack, either as a “false flag operation or because they simply didn't want anybody observing what they were doing that day.” Massie called on the House to “give them closure…It's long overdue. And then they can have their justice.”* Looking to Latin America, the presidential election in Peru is, predictably, coming down to a razor thin margin, WLRN reports. This race, between left-wing Senator Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, perennial presidential candidate and daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, currently stands at 50.004% for Fujimori and 49.996% for Sánchez, with 98.258% of the votes tabulated. Sánchez was favored to win after the in-country votes were counted, then Fujimori pulled ahead when the votes from Miami came in, other absentee votes eroded that margin and gave Sánchez the edge once again but Fujimori has yet again pulled ahead by a hair. This is Fujimori's fourth presidential campaign, making it to the runoff each time but ultimately losing by the narrowest of margins.* Finally, in Colombia, Progressive International reports that while Colombian President Gustavo Petro presides at the United Nations Security Council, “conservative forces in the country's legislature have conspired against the constitution to ‘SUSPEND' his presidency — just 11 days from the run-off presidential election.” While Reuters adds that the proposal must be “debated and approved by all ‌16 ⁠members of the [legislative Commission of Investigation and ​Accusation] and subsequently by the Senate before it can take effect,” it is hard to see this as anything besides an opportunistic grab for power while the proverbial cat is away. Petro's four-year term ends in August; the runoff in the presidential election, between leftist Ivan Cepeda and right-wing lawyer Abelardo ​De La Espriella, will be held on ​June 21st.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Israel has struck targets in western and central Iran, hours after Iran fired a wave of missiles towards northern Israel -- the first since a ceasefire was declared in April. The Israeli strikes came despite President Trump saying he did not want Israel to retaliate. Iran said its attack marked the beginning of a week of continuous strikes. Also: The presidential election runoff in Peru is close. The right-wing candidate Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of the late president Alberto Fujimori, and her left-wing rival, the congressman, Roberto Sanchez, are running neck and neck with the lead swinging from one to the other as the vote count proceeds. A new weight loss drug could be on the market soon. President Xi Jinping has arrived in North Korea for a two-day visit -- his first for seven years. Before leaving China, he hailed what he called an invincible friendship between the two countries. And in tennis, second seed Alexander Zverev has won the Men's French Open, clinching his first Grand Slam win after losing three previous finals. He's the first German man to win a Slam since Boris Becker. The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

Le second tour de l'élection présidentielle ce dimanche 7 juin verra s'affronter la candidate de la droite populiste autoritaire, Keiko Fujimori, et le candidat de gauche Roberto Sanchez. De nombreux électeurs sont indécis, mais le clivage entre la capitale, Lima, et les régions reste l'un des déterminants forts du scrutin. Fille de l'ancien président Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000, condamné pour crimes contre l'humanité puis décédé en 2024), Keiko Fujimori espère que sa quatrième candidature à la présidentielle sera la bonne. Néanmoins, sa « marge est relativement limitée » et le résultat du scrutin est « encore incertain », avec près de 15% d'électeurs indécis, explique Lissel Quiroz. Professeure d'études latino-américaines à l'université de Cergy et membre de l'institut universitaire de France, elle était l'invitée d'Anne Cantener sur RFI. Si Keiko Fujimori représente aux yeux de beaucoup « ​​​​​​​l'establishment péruvien », estime la chercheuse, son concurrent de gauche Roberto Sanchez incarne lui « ​​​​​​​l'autre Pérou, celui des damnés de la terre, qui n'ont pas bénéficié des retombées économiques » dont a pu profiter la capitale, poursuit-elle. Le clivage entre la capitale et la province a eu tendance à s'accentuer. Ainsi, le candidat de gauche bénéficie de davantage d'intentions de vote en régions, tandis que la candidate de droite est plus populaire à Lima et son agglomération, analyse encore Lissell Quiroz.   En Bolivie, deux nouvelles démissions au sein du gouvernement La crise politique et les blocages s'accentuent en Bolivie. Près de cent axes routiers étaient bloqués à travers tout le pays ce mardi (2 juin 2026), près d'un mois après le début de la mobilisation des paysans, des professeurs, ou encore des ouvriers. Deux ministres ont quitté le gouvernement, a annoncé l'exécutif lors d'un remaniement : la ministre de l'Éducation (dont le rôle était de négocier avec les enseignants qui demandent des hausses de salaires) et le ministre de la Défense (chargé, notamment, de débloquer les accès à la capitale, La Paz). En dix jours, en tout, trois ministres ont quitté l'exécutif. La pression sur le président de centre-droit Rodrigo Paz, au pouvoir depuis novembre, s'accentue. « ​​​​​​​Qu'il démissionne, bordel ! », scandaient des manifestants réunis en assemblée générale ce mardi à El Alto, sur les hauteurs de la capitale. « Le gouvernement central n'a pas su saisir l'occasion de se réconcilier avec son peuple, qui l'a porté au pouvoir. Une fois arrivé en fonction, il a oublié sa base électorale, mes sœurs et mes frères », a lancé devant la foule Mario Argollo, secrétaire général de la COB (principale centrale ouvrière du pays) et l'un des leaders de la contestation. Les manifestants demandent notamment des hausses de salaires face à l'inflation et à la pire crise économique dans le pays depuis près de 40 ans. Ils protestent aussi contre un scandale de carburant de mauvaise qualité, et ont obtenu l'abandon d'une réforme agraire qui favorisait la concentration des terres.   Demandes de hausses de salaires Ce remaniement « s'inscrit dans une volonté de dialogue de la part du président Rodrigo Paz », qui auparavant avait « réduit de moitié son propre salaire et celui de ses ministres » précise Pablo Barnier-Khawam, chercheur associé au CREDA (Centre de Recherche et de Documentation sur les Amériques). « La démission de la ministre de l'Éducation s'explique apparemment par ses difficultés à dialoguer avec les syndicats des enseignants qui demandaient une augmentation de leur salaire de 30% face à l'inflation que connaît le pays », estime-t-il. Le ministre de la Défense, lui, était chargé de participer à l'organisation du déblocage des routes.    « Impasse » Lancée par les paysans ou encore les enseignants, la mobilisation s'est élargie jusqu'à aboutir à demander la démission du président. « ​​​​​​​Un mot d'ordre qui fait plutôt consensus parmi des organisations sociales pourtant parfois en conflit entre elles », ce qui fait donc aussi la « ​​​​​​​force » de cette mobilisation, pointe Pablo Barnier-Khawam. Néanmoins, le dialogue est dans « ​​​​​​​l'impasse », selon lui. « ​​​​​​​Des discussions ont lieu à l'Assemblée pour évaluer s'il est possible de mettre en œuvre un référendum révocatoire. En revanche, la droite et l'extrême-droite demandent que les élections de 2025 soient respectées », précise le chercheur. En attendant, les blocages provoquent des pénuries de nourriture et de médicaments. À l'hôpital Las Clinicas de La Paz, l'oxygène est rationné. Une jeune femme de 24 ans, atteinte d'un cancer, est décédée avant de pouvoir atteindre l'établissement de santé où elle devait poursuivre son traitement. C'est le sixième décès dû à un manque d'accès aux soins depuis le début du mouvement. Trois autres personnes sont décédées lors d'interventions des forces de l'ordre, pendant qu'elles participaient aux blocages.   États-Unis : des États démocrates contestent un accord anti-énergies renouvelables passé à avec Totalenergies Sept États démocrates ont saisi la justice états-unienne ce mardi pour contester un accord à près d'un milliard de dollars conclu aux États-Unis le 23 mars 2026 entre l'administration Trump et Totalenergies. Le géant français des hydrocarbures renonçait ainsi à un projet d'éolien offshore au large de New York en l'échange de cette somme et l'engagement à investir dans les énergies fossiles. Or, le projet d'éolien en mer qui a été annulé aurait pu alimenter en électricité plus d'un million de foyers à New York et dans le New Jersey, sans émettre de gaz à effet de serre après sa construction. Son annulation est illégale selon les États ayant saisi la justice, explique Simon Rozé, chef du service environnement de RFI.    Dans le journal de La 1ère... Quinze ans après leur première apparition, les algues sargasses sont toujours là, explique Benoît Ferrand, d'Outre-mer La 1ère.

Ralph welcomes back Adolph Reed, Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and Distinguished Visiting Professor at Mount Holyoke College to discuss the latest Supreme Court decision gutting the Voting Rights Act. Then, Ralph and our resident constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, talk about what ordinary citizens can do to pressure their reps to impeach Donald Trump.Adolph Reed is Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania and Distinguished Visiting Professor at Mount Holyoke College. His most recent books are The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives, No Politics but Class Politics (co-authored with Walter Benn Michaels), and Black Studies, Cultural Politics, and the Evasion of Inequality: The Farce this Time (co-authored with Kenneth W. Warren).I think the issues are a lot more complex than they seem to be or than seems to be the way that they are represented in the debate [over the Voting Rights Act]…To cut straight to the political case, I think there's a distinction between the Act's guarantee that black citizens and others (where pertinent) who live in areas where there's been a history of suppression of the right to vote have the support of the federal government to make certain that Black voters have the ability to vote for and to elect candidates of their choosing. Which is not the same thing as a right of Black individuals to be elected to office. And I think that's one of the confusions that characterizes, frankly, both sides of the debate at this point. And I think that's definitely something that needs to be clarified.Adolph ReedSome of my friends and I have been talking about this, and have been bouncing this idea back and forth since, frankly, even before the court handed down the [Louisiana v Callais] decision. In thinking about developments in black politics across the board, the idea that all that Black voters are supposed to get out of politics is the representation of people who look like them and share in the same racial identification has also fueled backward turns. Like how all of a sudden the biggest issue in Black American politics supposedly had become the racial wealth gap, which boils down to a complaint that rich Black people aren't as rich as rich white people are. So, yeah, shaking up or reshuffling the deck for how we might begin to try to determine the stakes of Black Americans' engagement in national politics is something that needs to happen. No matter what brings it about.Adolph ReedBruce Fein is a Constitutional scholar and an expert on international law. Mr. Fein was Associate Deputy Attorney General under Ronald Reagan and he is the author of Constitutional Peril: The Life and Death Struggle for Our Constitution and Democracy, and American Empire: Before the Fall.My website is www.lawofficesofbrucefein.com and my email address is Bruce@feinpoints.com. And I'll respond and give you guidance as to how you can help be part of this effort to impeach and remove by far the most dangerous President in the history of the United States. And he's most dangerous to the world as well.Bruce FeinNews 5/8/26* Our top story this week comes to us from the Bulwark, which reports that dissatisfaction with Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is reaching a fever pitch. Martin has faced criticism over the course of his tenure for reneging on his promise to release an autopsy on the 2024 presidential campaign and for his decidedly lackluster fundraising efforts. The DNC has reportedly “spent more money than it has raised” and “has more debt than cash on hand,” while the Republican National Committee enjoys a “roughly seven-to-one money advantage.” According to this report, high-level DNC members are now privately discussing ousting Martin, only tabling these discussions “after members failed to identify an alternative candidate willing to step into the role.” Martin's failures have even led Democrats to openly wonder “whether the 178-year-old committee should even exist anymore.” Martin was elected DNC Chair last year, beating out Wisconsin Democratic Party chair Ben Wikler, who helped rebuild the party and raise tremendous amounts of money in that critical swing state.* Speaking of money in politics, this week POLITICO released a damning report on End Citizens United, the good-government focused 501(c)(4) that has in past years been a “fundraising behemoth” but has now faded nearly into complete irrelevancy. The issues highlighted in this piece will be familiar to many who have worked in this world. Despite raising $14.8 million, the group's PAC arm is burning through the money more quickly than it can raise it, having just $324,000 on hand at the end of March. What are they spending the money on? According to POLITICO, about $650,000 has gone to candidates and party groups and about the same amount has been bundled. Meanwhile, payments to fundraising firms have eaten up an astonishing $5.3 million. This is just another case of Democratic Party aligned consulting firms run amok and growing fat off of small dollar donations.* Another disappointing story comes to us from the Teamsters. According to Bloomberg, the union has forfeited a hard-won union foothold – the first ever unionized Chipotle – following three years of battling the company and failing to secure a contract. A Teamsters local president said in an email to the National Labor Relations Board that the union “officially withdraws and disclaims interest” at the Lansing, Michigan location. Legally speaking, this means the company will no longer be “required to recognize or negotiate with the union.” The employees of this location voted to unionize in 2022 by a margin of 11-to-3. Chipotle corporate has been decried for seeking to bust this union, with Biden NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo accusing them of employing illegal anti-union tactics like “withholding raises from the store's staff and telling workers that the union was keeping their pay frozen…[and punishing] a pro-union employee to discourage activism.” However, it was the Teamsters themselves who ultimately gave up, paving the way for the demise of the workers' heroic stand against corporate power. As the saying goes, with friends like these.* In more positive political news, during the Washington DC mayoral debate last week, the Washington Post reports democratic socialist mayoral hopeful Janeese Lewis George seemed to endorse the idea of opening municipal grocery stores in DC food deserts, including the impoverished and majority Black Wards 7 and 8. Asked about this topic, Councilmember Lewis George committed to bringing at least one more grocery store to Ward 7 and at least two more to Ward 8, noting that she would seek to shore up investor confidence with public dollars. If private options do not materialize however, she vowed that “we will work towards” a publicly-owned store. Municipally-owned grocery stores were a much publicized part of the Zohran Mamdani campaign platform and, if Lewis George is elected, his success or failure in carrying out that pledge is sure to impact her decision making on this issue.* Meanwhile, in media news, the New York Times reports Lupa Systems – the private holding company representing the interests of James Murdoch, son of conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch – is “in talks to acquire major parts of Vox Media.” Vox, founded in the 2010s by journalists Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, and Melissa Bell, now owns major media properties including New York magazine, the Verge, Eater and a podcast network featuring Kara Swisher and others. Murdoch, through Lupa, owns a “majority stake in Tribeca Enterprises, the parent company of the Tribeca Film Festival.” Additionally, the Times notes that Quadrivium, the foundation founded by Mr. Murdoch and his wife, Kathryn, has financial interests in “The 19th, a nonprofit newsroom focused on gender and politics, and The Bulwark, a so-called ‘Never Trump' digital media company.” James Murdoch, along with his sister Elisabeth, are seen as far more liberal than the Murdoch patriarch and his other son, Lachlan, who together successfully ousted the other family members from control of the family trust in a recent legal battle.* Turning to international news, yet another deadlocked presidential election in Peru is looming. A new Ipsos poll, taken near the end of April, shows an exact 50-50 split between the two candidates in the runoff: the left-wing member of Congress Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former Peruvian dictator Alberto Fujimori. This election was always going to be close – Peruvian politics have been deadlocked for years, resulting in ultra-narrow presidential victories frequently followed by impeachments. Fujimori has been a runoff candidate in every presidential election going back to 2011, losing each by extremely narrow margins. Most recently, she lost to Pedro Castillo by a margin of 50.13% to 49.87% in 2021. Castillo however was thwarted by, and ultimately ousted by, the Congress. The runoff will be held on June 7th.* In India, the Left suffered catastrophic defeats in this week's state elections, Al Jazeera reports. The state of Kerala – “the first in the world to have a democratically elected communist government” and “the last state in India where communists were in power” – will now be led by the United Democratic Front, a coalition headed by the Congress party, which won over 100 out of 140 seats. The Left bloc will likely capture around 35 seats. Beyond Kerala however, the Left has seen setbacks throughout the country, with no state now being ruled by the Left for the first time since 1977 and the national parliamentary Left bloc declining from 62 in the 2004 election to just eight seats today. Different factors are cited for the general decline of the Left in India, including an inability to adapt Marxist analysis to non class-related issues in the country, such as caste and gender, as well as the decline of industrial trade unions and a general trend towards Right-wing Hindu nationalism. Hopefully, the Left will take this electoral rout as an opportunity to rebuild itself into a viable force for 21st century Indian politics.* Turning to East Asia, the Financial Times reports North Korea has subtly revised its constitution to drop references to reunification of the two Koreas. Specifically, the new text reads “the territory of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea includes the territory bordering the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation to the north and the Republic of Korea to the south, and the territorial sea and airspace established on it”. In acknowledging the existence of the Republic of Korea, more commonly known as South Korea, experts see a move away from the long-held North Korean contention that the peninsula is a single country illegally partitioned. The revision was “disclosed by an academic at a press conference hosted by the South Korean Ministry of Unification on Wednesday.” Though this article notes that “North Korea has not made any comment on the revised constitution and the source of the text revealed by the unification ministry was not disclosed,” it highlights that Kim Jong-un has increasingly moved in this direction in recent years, renaming Tongil (“reunification”) metro station in Pyongyang and dismantling an Arch of Reunification monument.* Our last two stories have to do with the People's Republic of China. First, Reuters reports China's Commerce Ministry has issued an injunction to “block U.S. ​sanctions imposed on five Chinese refiners accused ‌of buying Iranian oil.” Hengli Petrochemical, one of the five small “teapot” refineries primarily located in China's Shandong province, was slapped with sanctions last month, when the Trump administration accused the company of purchasing billions ​of dollars in Iranian oil. The other four have been sanctioned since last year. However, the Ministry now argues that the sanctions violate “international law and ‌the ⁠basic norms of international relations,” and with the injunction in place, “the United States cannot recognize, ​implement, or comply ​with the ⁠sanctions imposed on the aforementioned five Chinese companies.” This is perhaps the most significant challenge to the American-led international sanctions regime in decades and whatever reaction issues from the U.S. will surely inform other states on just how far they can go in flouting such sanctions.* Finally, in a stunning legal decision, Fortune reports Chinese courts have ruled that “companies cannot terminate employees just to replace them with artificial intelligence systems.” The case in question hinged on whether a tech firm in eastern China had acted illegally when firing one of its workers, a “quality assurance professional…identified only as Zhou” after he “refused to take a demotion” and a 40% pay cut, when his job was automated by AI. The court found that the termination did not meet established standards, such as business downsizing or operational difficulties, and the court separately stated that “Companies cannot unilaterally lay off employees or cut salaries due to technological progress.” This stunning legal victory for workers in the face of challenges by technology is bittersweet – heartening in that it's happening at all, yet at the same time depressing because it is almost impossible to imagine an equivalent worker protection regime being implemented in the United States.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Tra il 1996 e il 2001 il regime di Alberto Fujimori ha avviato in Perù una feroce campagna per sterilizzare forzatamente oltre 300mila donne nelle zone più rurali e indigene del Paese. L'obiettivo: ridurre il più possibile la popolazione indigena e più povera del paese. Operazioni chirurgiche eseguite senza rispettare le norme igieniche che hanno avuto gravissime conseguenze per la salute delle donne, molte delle quali decedute. Tra le sopravvissute molte sono state abbandonate dai mariti e isolate dalla comunità. Il caso delle sterilizzazioni forzate in Perù oggi non è più un tabù ed è diventato il crimine emblematico del regime di Fujimori, presidente dal 1990 al 2000.Un reportage attraverso il paese sudamericano per ascoltare le testimonianze delle vittime e delle avvocate che si battono per ottenere giustizia.

This episode examines the aftermath of Peru's first-round presidential election held on April 12, 2025, recorded just five days later with results still not fully finalized. Host Adam Isacson speaks with Cynthia McClintock, a professor of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University who has studied Peruvian politics for over four decades. The conversation describes an extraordinarily fragmented and polarized electoral landscape. With 35 candidates on the ballot, the leading vote-getter—Keiko Fujimori, daughter of former authoritarian president Alberto Fujimori—led the count with only about 17 percent of the vote. The race for second place remained too close to call between Roberto Sánchez, a leftist candidate running under the mantle of impeached former president Pedro Castillo, and Rafael López Aliaga, a right-wing populist who served as mayor of Lima. The runoff, between candidates who will combine for less than 30 percent of the first-round vote, is scheduled for June 7th. McClintock traces Peru's current political dysfunction to the period following the 2016 election, during which Fujimori's party discovered the power of congressional impeachment. Peru has cycled through nine presidents in ten years, and McClintock argues that a corrupt governing coalition has consolidated power, particularly since Castillo's impeachment in December 2022. The discussion highlights the deep geographic and cultural divisions in Peruvian society. The gap between Lima and "las provincias"—Indigenous-majority rural and mountainous regions—manifests starkly in voting patterns. This division traces back centuries and reflects ongoing perceptions of discrimination and exclusion, even as economic indicators have improved. Organized crime and security are voters' primary concerns. While Peru's homicide rate remains low by regional standards, it has more than doubled since 2021-2022. Extortion has become particularly urgent. Yet paradoxically, Peru's economy continues to grow, buoyed by high commodity prices for copper and gold, though much mining activity is illegal and environmentally devastating. McClintock expresses concern about the future of accountability and democratic institutions. The newly reconstituted Senate grants Fujimori's party approximately one-third of seats, with significant power over appointments. On U.S.-Peru relations, she notes the current government has stayed under Washington's radar and is proceeding with a $3.5 billion F-16 purchase, though the Chinese-built Chancay port remains a potential point of tension. The episode concludes with McClintock explaining how the chaotic 35-candidate field happened by design: Fujimori's party had previously canceled a primary voting provision that would have winnowed the field, calculating that extreme fragmentation would allow them to win with a small plurality. Despite the grim political outlook, McClintock emphasizes the resilience of Peru and its people. Download this podcast episode's .mp3 file here.

In Episode 323 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg offers a comparison of the simultaneous elections in Hungary and Peru—in which questions of democratic norms versus authoritarian rule both stood in the balance. The defeat of long-ruling quasi-dictator Viktor Orbán is being hailed as a blow to the emerging authoritarian bloc in Europe. But the incoming center-right prime minister Péter Magyar may not mean a complete de-Orbánification. In Peru, the outcome is still pending, as the perennial candidate of the hard right, Keiko Fujimori, faces a run-off with a contender from the populist left, Roberto Sánchez. Keiko is the unapologetic daughter of the late ex-dictator Alberto Fujimori; her victory could mean a re-Fujimorification of the country, and a fatal blow to Peru's deeply troubled democracy. A Sánchez victory, meanwhile, would heighten the social contradictions in Peru—with both opportunities for a more meaningful democracy, and dangers of a backlash from the conservative establishment.

Llevan los peruanos unos diez años realizando un experimento político en vivo del que toda Hispanoamérica (y también España) debería aprender, pero para no reproducirlo. Este domingo han vuelto a las urnas en unas elecciones muy esperadas para elegir presidente, dos vicepresidentes, 130 diputados, 60 senadores y 5 representantes para el Parlamento Andino. Nótese que está incluido el Senado, una cámara eliminada en 1992 tras el autogolpe de Alberto Fujimori. En principio estas elecciones deberían aclarar el panorama y reencauzar la vida política del país, pero lo más probable es que no sea así. Para entender lo que está en juego hay que recordar de dónde viene Perú. La última década ha sido un larguísimo desfile de presidentes. Desde Ollanta Humala han pasado por la Casa de Pizarro ocho presidentes en diez años y ninguno ha conseguido terminar su mandato. Casi todos cayeron por una figura legal, la de la vacancia presidencial por incapacidad moral, una herramienta decimonónica convertida en arma arrojadiza entre el Ejecutivo y el Legislativo. Hoy cuatro expresidentes están de forma simultánea en el penal de Barbadillo: Pedro Castillo, Martín Vizcarra, Ollanta Humala y Alejandro Toledo. El episodio más sonado fue el de Pedro Castillo, aquel maestro rural con un vistoso sombrero que en diciembre de 2022 intentó disolver el Congreso por decreto mediante un autogolpe de Estado. Su sucesora, Dina Boluarte, gobernó tres años con una aprobación que llegó a desplomarse al 3% hasta ser destituida a finales del año pasado. Sobre ese terreno tan resbaladizo se han celebrado las elecciones. La oficina encargada de organizarlas, la ONPE, las ha definido como las más complejas de la historia, y razón no les falta. Se presentaron un total 35 candidaturas presidenciales para un electorado fragmentado hasta la atomización. La gran protagonista ha vuelto a ser Keiko Fujimori en su cuarto intento. Hija del expresidente, lleva dos décadas siendo el rostro visible del fujimorismo, ese movimiento que combina liberalismo económico con autoritarismo conservador y que cuenta con mucho arraigo en ciertas capas sociales. Ha perdido tres segundas vueltas consecutivas y su Fuerza Popular sigue siendo una de las pocas estructuras de partido organizadas que quedan en pie. Promete orden, mano dura contra la criminalidad y reformas económicas en la línea de Milei. La campaña giró sobre tres ejes: la inseguridad ciudadana, el deterioro económico y la corrupción. La jornada electoral ha sido muy accidentada. Se produjeron retrasos en la llegada de papeletas y hubo problemas en el voto en el extranjero. El director de la ONPE, de hecho, ha tenido que dimitir. Con el 92% escrutado, Keiko Fujimori va a la cabeza con un 17%. Le siguen, casi empatados, Roberto Sánchez de Juntos por el Perú con un 12%, y Rafael López Aliaga de Renovación Popular con otro 12%. Jorge Nieto queda cuarto con un 11%. Conviene leer estos números con perspectiva: 83 de cada cien peruanos votaron por otro candidato distinto al ganador. Los dos finalistas sumarán juntos apenas el 30% del voto. El próximo presidente llegará por puro rebote, con poca legitimidad de origen, condenado a gobernar con un Congreso atomizado y la espada de Damocles de la vacancia sobre su cabeza desde el primer día. La segunda vuelta del 7 de junio decidirá quién ocupa el cargo, si es que llega siquiera a un año sin que lo saquen de ahí.

Au Pérou, le premier tour de la présidentielle ne s'est pas du tout déroulé comme prévu ce dimanche 12 avril 2026. Beaucoup de bureaux n'ayant pas reçu le matériel nécessaire, ont ouvert en retard ou pas du tout, comme le raconte notre correspondant à Lima, Martin Chabal. « 211 bureaux de vote n'ont pas ouvert, ce qui représente près de 63 000 électeurs. » Des Péruviens qui n'ont reçu aucune explication et qui ont la possibilité de déposer leur bulletin dans l'urne ce lundi. Exceptionnellement, les bureaux concernés vont ouvrir leurs portes pour la journée. Il va donc falloir attendre encore avant d'avoir les résultats définitifs. Des premières tendances ont été diffusées hier (12 avril) avant qu'on ne sache que l'élection se poursuivrait ce lundi. Selon les deux instituts de sondage qui ont publié les résultats à la sortie des urnes, Keiko Fujimori serait qualifiée pour le deuxième tour. « Elle participe à sa quatrième élection présidentielle et a toujours atteint le second tour », explique Martin Chabal. « C'est une candidate de droite autoritaire, qui se revendique de son père, Alberto Fujimori, président du Pérou et condamné pour crimes contre l'humanité pour son passage au pouvoir. Un héritage qui lui a toujours coûté la victoire au second tour, car un grand nombre d'électeurs la rejettent. »  En face, ils sont quatre à espérer participer au second tour. Rafael Lopez Aliaga, l'ancien maire de Lima et candidat d'extrême droite ; le candidat de gauche Roberto Sanchez ; Ricardo Belmont, 80 ans, qui s'était déjà présenté à la présidentielle en 95 et il a été maire de Lima au début des années 90 ; et Jorge Nieto, ministre de la Culture et de la Défense entre 2016 et 2018. « Il est fort probable que les candidats qui n'accèderont pas au second tour contesteront les résultats, tant le scrutin s'est déroulé dans des conditions chaotiques », estime Martin Chabal.   Haïti : les conséquences de la hausse du prix du pétrole  En Haïti, le calvaire des citoyens ne cesse de s'aggraver. À côté de l'insécurité alimentaire, de la violence des gangs armés, du chômage et de l'inflation, les citoyens doivent désormais également faire face à la hausse des prix du carburant sur le marché local, conséquence de la guerre au Moyen-Orient. Une décision du gouvernement, prise la semaine dernière, a aussi entraîné une révision à la hausse des prix de l'essence, ce que dénoncent des chauffeurs de taxi, des motards et de simples citoyens, qui estiment que cette mesure va aggraver une situation déjà précaire. Des économistes, à l'image d'Énomy Germain, alertent également sur les conséquences de cette décision, qu'ils jugent potentiellement catastrophique pour le pays, estimant que les réalités socio-économiques n'ont pas été suffisamment prises en compte. C'est un reportage de notre correspondant Peterson Luxama, depuis Port-au-Prince.   Passe d'armes entre Donald Trump et le pape « Je ne suis un grand fan du pape Léon XIV », a déclaré le président américain ce dimanche, en réaction à des propos tenus la veille par le pape Léon XIV lors d'une veillée de prière pour la paix à la basilique Saint-Pierre, au Vatican. « Assez de l'idolâtrie du moi et de l'argent ! Assez des démonstrations de force ! Assez de guerre ! (...) Il est temps de faire la paix ! Asseyez-vous à la table du dialogue et de la médiation, et non à la table où se planifie le réarmement et où se décident des actions meurtrières ! », s'est exclamé le souverain pontife. Des propos certes virulents, mais pas nouveau sur le fond qui ont énervé le président américain qui déteste qu'on ne soit pas d'accord avec lui. Les précisions de Marine de La Moissonnière.   Le journal de la 1ère Les premiers patients sont accueillis ce lundi, dans le nouveau Centre hospitalier de Guadeloupe qui ouvre ses portes après sept années de travaux.

Con la ayuda de la experta María Dolores Albiac, analizamos la situación de Perú a dos días de las elecciones generales. Más de 27 millones de peruanos están llamados a las urnas este domingo 12 de abril para elegir presidente en unas elecciones históricas, con 35 candidatos y cerca de un 30% de votantes indecisos. Entre los aspirantes hay políticos tradicionales, outsiders mediáticos y figuras sin experiencia, reflejo de la fuerte fragmentación política tras años de crisis institucional en el país. Keiko Fujimori, hija del exdictador Alberto Fujimori, lidera los últimos sondeos con alrededor del 15% de intención de voto. Es la cuarta vez que aspira al cargo y centra su campaña en el mensaje de “paz y orden”. El resultado está muy abierto: tres de cada diez votantes decidirán su voto a última hora y todo apunta a que ningún candidato alcanzará el 50% necesario para evitar una segunda vuelta.También abordamos otras de las noticias de la semana en Argentina como las recientes denuncias de corrupción contra el Gobierno de Javier Milei en Argentina; y los anuncios sociales y económicos de Delcy Rodríguez en Venezuela. Además, conocemos una banda de pop indie que tiene un vínculo especial con México de la mano de nuestro colaborador externo Nico Gómez.Escuchar audio

Perú regresará a las urnas el 12 de abril para votar por un nuevo mandatario. Keiko Fujimori, hija del expresidente Alberto Fujimori, encabeza las encuestas hasta ahora.

Los peruanos van a las urnas el próximo 12 de abril tras una campaña marcada por la crisis de seguridad y la institucional.

Hitler, Stalin, and Mao ruled through violence, fear, and ideology. But in recent decades a new breed of media-savvy strongmen has been redesigning authoritarian rule for a more sophisticated, globally connected world. In place of overt, mass repression, rulers such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán control their citizens by distorting information and simulating democratic procedures. Like spin doctors in democracies, they spin the news to engineer support. Uncovering this new brand of authoritarianism, Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman explain the rise of such “spin dictators,” describing how they emerge and operate, the new threats they pose, and how democracies should respond. Spin Dictators traces how leaders such as Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew and Peru's Alberto Fujimori pioneered less violent, more covert, and more effective methods of monopolizing power. They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. The book reveals why most of today's authoritarians are spin dictators—and how they differ from the remaining “fear dictators” such as Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad. Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century (Princeton UP, 2022) is aimed at a general audience, synthesizing a vast amount of qualitative and quantitative research by the authors and many other scholars. The book is highly readable, with a great mix of anecdotes and examples along with plain-English explanations of academic research findings. However, it also provides an excellent overview of contemporary global authoritarianism for academics. Almost every claim in the book has an endnote reference to the original research for those who want to follow up. The endnotes mean that despite its moderately intimidating 340-page heft, the main text is a very approachable 219 pages. Daniel Treisman is a professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research focuses on Russian politics and economics as well as comparative political economy, including in particular the analysis of democratization, the politics of authoritarian states, political decentralization, and corruption. In 2021-22, he was a visiting fellow at Stanford University's Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and he was recently named a 2022 Andrew Carnegie Fellow. A graduate of Oxford University (B.A. Hons.) and Harvard University (Ph.D. 1995), he has published five books and numerous articles in leading political science and economics journals including The American Political Science Review and The American Economic Review, as well as in public affairs journals such as Foreign Affairs and Foreign Policy. He has also served as a consultant for the World Bank, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and USAID. In Russia, he has been a member of the International Advisory Committee of the Higher School of Economics and a member of the Jury of the National Prize in Applied Economics Peter Lorentzen is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of San Francisco, where he leads a new Master's program in Applied Economics focused on the digital economy.

They cultivated an image of competence, concealed censorship, and used democratic institutions to undermine democracy, all while increasing international engagement for financial and reputational benefits. The book reveals why most of today's authoritarians are spin dictators—and how they differ from the remaining “fear dictators” such as Kim Jong-un and Bashar al-Assad. Spin Dictators: The Changing Face of Tyranny in the 21st Century (Princeton UP, 2022) is aimed at a general audience, synthesizing a vast amount of qualitative and quantitative research by the authors and many other scholars. The book is highly readable, with a great mix of anecdotes and examples along with plain-English explanations of academic research findings. However, it also provides an excellent overview of contemporary global authoritarianism for academics. Almost every claim in the book has an endnote reference to the original research for those who want to follow up. The endnotes mean that despite its moderately intimidating 340-page heft, the main text is a very approachable 219 pages. Daniel Treisman is a professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles and a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. His research focuses on Russian politics and economics as well as comparative political economy, including in particular the analysis of democratization, the politics of authoritarian states, political decentralization, and corruption.

Hitler, Stalin, and Mao ruled through violence, fear, and ideology. But in recent decades a new breed of media-savvy strongmen has been redesigning authoritarian rule for a more sophisticated, globally connected world. In place of overt, mass repression, rulers such as Vladimir Putin, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Viktor Orbán control their citizens by distorting information and simulating democratic procedures. Like spin doctors in democracies, they spin the news to engineer support. Uncovering this new brand of authoritarianism, Sergei Guriev and Daniel Treisman explain the rise of such “spin dictators,” describing how they emerge and operate, the new threats they pose, and how democracies should respond.

El Gobierno de Dina Boluarte desestimó la orden de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CIDH), que exigía suspender de inmediato el trámite del proyecto ley de amnistía para integrantes de las Fuerzas Armadas y la Policía Nacional que vienen siendo investigados por cometer presuntos delitos de violación de derechos humanos en el marco de la lucha contra el terrorismo entre 1980 y 2000.

Father Robert Prevost's early years in Peru shaped his ministry and vision for the church—but few know the brutal reality he encountered there in the 1980s and 1990s. In this second episode of our Inside the Vatican Deep Dive series on Pope Leo XIV, we follow the future pope to northern Peru. He first served in Chulucanas as a canon lawyer, helping establish the new diocese after its elevation from an apostolic prelature. Following a brief return to Rome to defend his doctoral thesis, he came back to Peru as a formator for diocesan and Augustinian seminarians and as a pastor in Trujillo. There, he and his fellow Augustinians ministered amid escalating violence and an approaching dictatorship—an experience that shaped the man who now leads the global Catholic Church. Peru in the late 1980s and early 90s was torn by conflict but also strangely alive with hope. The Shining Path (Sendero Luminoso) and MRTA (Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru), two violent rebel groups, terrorized communities while economic collapse paved the way for Alberto Fujimori's authoritarian rule. Amid it all, Father Prevost and the Augustinians in Northern Peru pioneered a new model of parish life. They opened a formation house for young men discerning religious life with the order and helped staff parishes, establishing new chapels and parish communities. They divided sprawling parishes into small zones led by lay teams responsible for prayer, outreach and community life. Two women who worked with him describe how this model empowered the local community. His ministry in Peru didn't just shape parish structures; it shaped him—teaching him to lead with humility, courage and deep concern for the marginalized. In this episode, you'll hear from: - John Lydon, O.S.A. – Augustinian priest and friend of Pope Leo, with whom he served in parish and formation ministry in Trujillo, Peru - Socorro Cassaro Novoa – Lay leader from the Monserrate community in Trujillo, Peru, where Pope Leo helped establish Nuestra Señora de Monserrate parish and served from 1992 to 1999 - Nila Ruiz Gonzales – Lay leader from the Santa María community in Trujillo, Peru, where Pope Leo XIV directed the Augustinian formation house and served as pastor in the 1980s and 90s And don't forget to come back for the final episode in this series.

Entre 1996 et 2000, le Pérou a vécu l'un des épisodes les plus sombres et les plus méconnus de son histoire récente : des milliers de femmes, en grande majorité pauvres, indigènes et rurales, ont été stérilisées de force, dans le cadre d'un programme gouvernemental présenté comme… une politique de santé publique.À cette époque, le président Alberto Fujimori dirige le pays d'une main de fer. Officiellement, son gouvernement lance une vaste campagne de "planification familiale" pour réduire la pauvreté. L'idée semble simple : moins d'enfants, donc moins de misère.Mais derrière les slogans, une réalité bien plus brutale se met en place.Dans les villages reculés, souvent quechua ou aymara, des femmes sont convoquées dans des centres de santé. On leur promet une consultation gratuite, un vaccin, une aide financière… mais une fois sur place, elles sont emmenées en salle d'opération. Sans explication. Sans consentement. Parfois même sous la menace.On leur ligature les trompes. C'est irréversible.Au total, plus de 300 000 femmes ont été stérilisées. Certaines ont été attachées. D'autres anesthésiées à moitié. Des témoignages évoquent des douleurs atroces, des infections, et même des décès. Il y a eu aussi des cas d'hommes stérilisés de force, mais en bien plus petit nombre.Ce programme n'avait rien d'un choix éclairé : c'était une campagne de contrôle démographique ciblé, avec des quotas imposés aux médecins. Ceux qui ne "produisaient" pas assez de stérilisations étaient sanctionnés. Un véritable système, bureaucratisé, cynique.Pourquoi ces femmes ? Parce qu'elles étaient pauvres. Parce qu'elles parlaient peu ou pas l'espagnol. Parce qu'elles avaient peu de moyens pour se défendre, et que leurs voix avaient peu de poids dans les instances politiques.Pendant des années, ce scandale a été ignoré, minimisé, étouffé.Mais les témoignages ont fini par remonter. Des associations de femmes, des journalistes, des ONG ont documenté les faits, rassemblé des preuves, et porté plainte.Aujourd'hui encore, les victimes attendent réparation. Le procès contre Fujimori a été ouvert en 2021, mais traîne. Pour beaucoup, cette affaire n'est pas seulement une question de justice, mais de mémoire collective : rappeler que derrière les statistiques, il y avait des vies. Des mères. Des jeunes femmes. Et que tout cela s'est produit au nom de la lutte contre la pauvreté. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Dos trabajadores de la embajada de Israel en Estados Unidos fueron asesinados anoche a tiros en el exterior del Museo Judío de Washington, donde se estaba celebrando un evento del Comité Judío Americano. El presunto responsable del asesinato gritó Palestina libre en el momento de ser detenido, según ha relatado la policia, y tanto el presidente como el primer ministro israelí lo han tachado de crimen antisemita. También estaremos en Gaza donde la ayuda humanitaria, muy escasa, está entrando pero el reparto entre los miles de personas que llevan meses pasando hambre por el bloqueo israelí es ahora lo más complicado.Rusia y Ucrania han intercambiado las listas de mil prisioneros de cada país para ser canjeados en el que sería el mayor intercambio desde el inicio de la guerra. También estaremos en Rumanía donde el Tribunal Constitucional ha declarado al europeísta Nicusor Dan, presidente electo. En Reino Unido hay nuevos datos sobre inmigración en el último año. Tendremos una entrevista sobre los 80 años de la bomba atómica en Hiroshima y Nagasaki con Hiroshima, un libro de Agustín Rivera que narra la tragedia a través de los supervivientes y conoceremos la historia de una mujer que fue esterilizada forzosamente en Perú junto a varias decenas de miles de mujeres más bajo el gobierno de Alberto Fujimori.

Este jueves se realiza la audiencia en la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos del primer caso de esterilización forzada en Perú que acepta juzgar esta instancia. Se trata del caso de Celia Ramos, una las víctimas del Programa Nacional de Salud Reproductiva y Planificación Familiar (PNSRPF) instaurado por el expresidente Alberto Fujimori, que utilizó la esterilización forzosa con el objetivo de reducir las tasas de fertilidad entre las mujeres, centrándose especialmente en las comunidades empobrecidas e indígenas. Los abogados estiman además que se trata de crímenes de lesa humanidad, lo que podría beneficiar a miles de mujeres peruanas en espera de justicia y reparación.    Celia Ramos falleció en 1997, 19 días después de someterse a una ligadura de trompas en un centro de salud de Piura, en la costa norte de Perú. Según investigaciones, ella fue presionada por parte del personal médico para dejarse esterilizar.  Tras 28 años reclamando justicia, las tres hijas de Celia lograron llevar el caso hasta la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (CorteIDH).Catalina Martínez, vicepresidenta del Centro de Derechos Reproductivos para Latinoamérica y el Caribe, es una de las abogadas de la familia: “Es histórico que la Corte vaya a escuchar este caso porque nos va a permitir que haya un reconocimiento de las violaciones de derechos humanos que se cometieron en contra de estas mujeres, y porque le va a abrir la puerta, a todas estas mujeres que llevan esperando tantos años y a sus familias, a una posibilidad de justicia y de reparaciones”, explica a RFI.Para ella, es importante “que se reconozca que estos no son casos aislados, que las mujeres fueron sometidas a procedimientos médicos de ligadura de trompas sin su consentimiento y que esto equivalió a una esterilización forzada”.Crímenes de lesa humanidadAdemás, el litigio pretende una clasificación de los hechos como crímenes de lesa humanidad: “Si bien no es un tribunal penal, que es donde se podría hablar de crimen de lesa humanidad, la Corte en el pasado sí ha traído ese instrumento del derecho penal para definir ante qué tipo de grave violación de derechos humanos estamos. Y trayendo esa herramienta del derecho penal, la Corte puede reconocer que la grave violación frente a la cual estamos es un crimen de lesa humanidad, porque fue intencionado, porque se hizo de manera sistemática, masiva, coercitiva y general, hacia un cierto sector de la población, que eran las mujeres que vivían en las mayores condiciones de vulnerabilidad”, detalla la abogada.Si lo reconoce, la Corte tendría la capacidad de emitir como recomendación la apertura de nuevas investigaciones. Entre 1996 y el 2000, en el segundo periodo presidencial de Alberto Fujimori, se esterilizó a 272.028 mujeres. Aunque es difícil conocer qué porcentaje de las operaciones fueron impuestas o mal informadas, los expertos creen que la mayoría lo fueron.“Si bien la persona que emitió esa instrucción ya murió, tenemos a un Estado que tiene que responder por el Estado peruano como un todo. Y lo que estamos esperando es que el reconocimiento de responsabilidad y las disculpas públicas que se emitan, se emitan al más alto nivel”, enfatiza Catalina Martínez.El pronunciamiento de la CorteIDH podría tardar unos seis meses, y es de obligatorio cumplimiento.

In memoriam. En el año 2010 cuando recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura, Mario Vargas Llosa, revivía el hecho que marcó su vida: haber aprendido a leer a los cinco años le despertó su pasión por convertirse en un escritor. Y fue precisamente para que se olvidara de esa fijación que su papá lo internó en una academia militar en Lima a los 14 años, donde lejos de apartarse de su vocación, la reforzó aún más dedicándose a la tarea de escribir las cartas de amor a las novias de sus compañeros. Con todo, tuvo que complacer al progenitor estudiando derecho. Luego cruzó el Atlántico para hacer realidad su sueño. Mientras daba clases de Literatura Española en la Universidad de Londres, la afamada editora Carmen Balcells, lo convenció de mudarse a Barcelona a vivir como escritor de tiempo completo; así llegó al puerto catalán ya con cuatro novelas escritas: La ciudad y los perros (1962), La Casa Verde (1965), Los cachorros (1967) y Conversación en La Catedral (1969). Y es gracias en gran medida a esa decisión que Vargas Llosa dejó como legado 20 novelas, un libro de cuentos, 10 obras de teatro, 14 libros de ensayo, dos de crónicas y uno de memorias. Una vida dedicada, con pasión, con rigurosidad y con estudio a las letras, aunque tuvo tiempo también para otra fuerte inclinación suya que fue la política. Incluso fue candidato presidencial en 1990 y perdió la carrera frente a Alberto Fujimori. Los estudiosos de su obra indican que leer a Mario Vargas Llosa es leer a Perú y a América Latina, con su historia, su política y sus problemas estructurales, pero también leer sus amores y sus experiencias más íntimas, con comicidad y con sátira. Reconoció que en Gustave Flaubert se encontró como escritor y adoptó la metodología que implica la precisión y la perfección de buscar la palabra más adecuada. Junto con Gabriel García Márquez, Julio Cortázar, Carlos Fuentes y Alejo Carpentier conformó el “boom latinoamericano”, que internacionalizó nuestra literatura. Mario Vargas Llosa, fallecido el recién pasado 13 de abril a sus 89 años, representa, por tanto, el fin de una generación excepcional. Para repasar su vida y su obra conversaremos con el escritor Carlos Cortés.

Elo returns to the podcast to give his thoughts about Alberto Fujimori, Peru's former dictator President. He was Bukele before there was Bukele, Milei before there was Milei, even Chavez before there was Chavez.

Comenzaremos la primera parte del programa hablando del fallecimiento del exmandatario peruano Alberto Fujimori; y del supuesto plan para asesinar a Nicolás Maduro según el gobierno venezolano. Hablaremos también de un estudio sobre los neandertales y las causas de su desaparición; y por último, de las medidas que ha tomado el Reino Unido para combatir la obesidad infantil.   Para nuestra sección Trending in Latin America les tenemos dos temas muy interesantes. Hablaremos de un estudio de cine en Baja California que se dedicará a hacer películas con conciencia social. Cerraremos la emisión hablando del vori vori, una sopa paraguaya que fue elegida como la mejor del mundo por Taste Atlas. - Fallece el expresidente peruano Alberto Fujimori - Venezuela denuncia intento de asesinato a Maduro - Estudio descifra misterios sobre los neandertales - El Reino Unido le declara la guerra a la comida chatarra - Baja California tendrá un estudio de cine con conciencia social - ¿Qué es el vori vori, la sopa elegida por Taste Atlas?

Se habla mucho del "juicio de la historia" de Alberto Fujimori. En Pequeñas islas hablamos con el historiador Antonio Zapata, que evalúa la década de los 90.

No es solo la selva: 23 regiones del Perú sufren de incendios, en una ola sin precedentes. El aire es irrespirable en Pucallpa. Zorros, osos, ronsocos y animales huyen en todo el territorio. Y Adrianzén dice que ya todo está bajo control. MIENTRAS TANTO: Ahora resulta que Chibolín es el apoderado del narco más poderoso de los 90: Vaticano. ADEMÁS: ¿Qué une a los extorsionadores de buses con el hermanito César Hinostroza? Y... En muchos aspectos, Alberto Fujimori escandalizaría a aquellos que fueron a rendirle culto este fin de semana. Esa es solo una de las conclusiones de la conversación con el historiador Antonio Zapata.

Romania has set up displacement camps after floods killed a number of people and destroyed thousands of homes. Also: Peru buries its former President, Alberto Fujimori, with a complex tussle over his legacy.

Federico comenta con Martín Higueras la muerte de Alberto Fujimori y la polémica reforma judicial en México.

Chinese stock markets have fallen to a five-year low, with investors concerned about the health of its economy. Elsewhere, the European Central Bank cuts interest rates again. Boeing makes a last ditch appeal to workers ahead of their vote on a new contract which includes a 25% pay rise offer.
