Nov 05th, 2012 - 05:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nicolás Lynch is a good diplomat so its shocking to see his incredible blunder in meeting with this front group for bloody terror, Movadef.
Nov 05th, 2012 - 06:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0He did the right thing by resigning because the violence sown by Sendero Luminoso, aided by their cadre of spin-off organizations, has resulted in so many tens of thousands of needless deaths, untold suffering and immense loss of infrastructure and property in Perú.
The fact that CFK's Argentina seems to be welcoming Movadef is a shame on that régime.
Criminal.

@2 WTF would *any* Peruvian diplomat stationed in SA do something that career-killingly ~dumb~ is the question.
Nov 05th, 2012 - 07:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If Shining Path can make Nicolás Lynch’s resign
Nov 05th, 2012 - 07:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Then perhaps CFK and her immortals should visit this shinny path.
.
Not a coincidence that the Argentine Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo Pérez Esquivel as well as Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, who are both anti-Falkland Islands, got into visits with this Movadef terrorist sympathsizer group.
Nov 05th, 2012 - 07:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can only think that Lynch's blunder might have been because the current CFK regime, being so disposed towards such radical groups, lulled him into thinking that he was just going to be doing a little sociology (he is sociologist) schmoozing with these ex-terrorists.
Seems like an over-reaction to me, its hardly an endorsement to be handed a petition! Seems Humala has been less successful than Chavez in overcoming the downsides of his military roots...
Nov 05th, 2012 - 10:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 07 BK: Over-reaction? If you're not in Perú, it might seem so, but with so many Peruvians Peruvians old enough to remember the fear, violence and deep anxiety of the late 1980s through early 1990s, not hardly enough reaction.
Nov 06th, 2012 - 01:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Being handed a petition is one thing, but to go out and invite an acceptance of such a document - advocating the release of the prime leader of so much death and destruction - has got Peruvian dander up.
Just a guess, but to preserve diplomatic relations with Perú, CFK and Héctor Timerman will probably need to wade into the issue, to make such SL-front groups unwelcome in Argentina.
Then Chile will demand answers about accused Chilean kidnapper and assassin Galvarino Apablaza Guerra (aka “Comandante Salvador” in terrorist army Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez).
Argentina, home and protection of recognized terrorists, like Apablaza (Chile) and shining path (Peru). For sure, not the only ones. Makes sense, with that politicans they got in power.
