Kuczynski, the “Lima Group”, Venezuela and the Eighth Summit of the Americas

Panama (Panama) | 7 July 2018
“The Venezuelan President will not set foot on our soil or enter the air space of Peru”.

Peru: Blood Flows in the Amazon

New York (USA) | 13 June 2009
Recent free trade agreements signed with the American and Canadian governments fueled the Peruvian government to go ahead with changes to domestic laws that would seek to advance mineral, logging, oil and agricultural ‘development’ into previously untouched areas of the Amazon. In early June, President Alan García, an ally of US President Barack Obama, ordered armored personnel carriers, helicopter gun-ships and hundreds of heavily armed troops to assault and disperse a peaceful, legal protest organized by members of Peru’s Amazonian indigenous communities protesting the entry of foreign multinational mining companies on their traditional homelands.
