Tipping Point

True to what he calls the writer's social commitment Mario Vargas Llosa has written a letter to the President of Peru, Alan Garcia Perez. The reason: the Legislative Decree 1097 which clearly collides with respect for the established legal order and human rights.

MVLL The political relationship between AGP and always seemed dissonant, beyond maintaining a common view on the economic model, the political and moral foundations were divergent. The letter comes at the time the bizarre circumlocutions and statements of government members had reached its zenith and appeared to ignore the case made national and international claims.

The letter and lay down a minister and he dragged the entire cabinet:

Paris, September 13
HE, 2010. HE Dr. Alan Garcia Perez President of Peru

Lima

Mr. President,

I hereby give you my irrevocable resignation to the Commission in charge of the place of memory whose presidency did you have to either trust me and I accepted convinced that his government was determined to continue the development of democracy in Peru so damaged by crime and theft from the dictatorship of Fujimori and Montesinos.

The reason for my resignation is the recent Legislative Decree 1097 which, obviously, is a thinly disguised amnesty to benefit a good number of people linked to the dictatorship and convicted or prosecuted for crimes against human rights, killings, torture and disappearances, including former dictator himself and his right arm. The move has outraged all democratic sectors of the country and international public opinion, as evidenced by the pronouncements of the Rapporteur of the UN, the Human Rights Commission, the Episcopal Conference, the Ombudsman and representatives of various social organizations and policies, including some congressmen APRA. I fully agree with these protests.

There is, in my opinion, an essential incompatibility between on the one hand, sponsoring the erection of a monument to the victims of violence unleashed by the Shining Path terrorism since 1980 and, secondly, by opening the back door legal trick from prison who, in the As part of this disastrous rebellion of fans also committed heinous crimes and helped to sow hatred, blood and suffering of Peruvian society.

I do not know what pressures the military sectors that thrived under the dictatorship and not resign themselves to democracy, or what considerations tiny electoral politics have led you to protect an initiative that will only bring discredit their government and to account those who accuse him of secretly agreed in close collaboration with the same Fujimori that he was exiled and persecuted for eight years. In any case, what happened is a disgrace that will resurrect the division and political rancor in the country, especially in a period of exceptionally beneficial for the development and during an electoral process that should serve rather to strengthen our law and our customs democratic.

Although political opponents have been at odds in the past, in the last election I voted for you and I urged Peruvians to do the same to avoid Peru a We have derived depleted extremist and deranged. And I've publicly celebrated in Peru and abroad, its healthy correction of ideas, especially economic policy, which has been so good consequences for the progress and the image of Peru in recent years. Hopefully you have the same value to rectify once again to abolish this nefarious decree and seek allies among Peruvians decent and democratic brought him to power with their votes instead of searching among the heirs of an authoritarian regime that plunged Peru into the ignominy of corruption and crime and continue to plot to resurrect such abjection.

Yours sincerely,

Mario Vargas Llosa

sensed that this would come sooner or later, like water and oil can not mix. It is a healthy turning point.
