Peru, The Coup and The Working People

(Zoom event)

The people and workers of Peru have faced a US supported coup that is now attacking unions and  indigenous people throughout the country. There are eight bases and the US military has already sent an additional 900 US troops to train, arm and support the regime.

The wealth of Peru includes lithium which is critical for EV’s. The previous coup in Bolivia was openly supported by Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla because he said he wanted Peru’s  lithium. This panel will update recent developments, the struggle of unions and working people.
