Opinion

Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, offers a thoughtful perspective on President Dina Boluarte's recent speech in Loreto, at a time when Peru is facing considerable social discontent and a crisis of violence. In his analysis, Brignardello highlights the importance of Boluarte's words, particularly her call for unity and her rejection of the violence that has characterized protests in the country. The advisor emphasizes that Boluarte's message, in which she labels those who act destructively as "stone throwers," reflects a clear intention to distance herself from violence and from those who, in her view, are undermining peace and national development. Brignardello points out that in times of crisis, such statements are crucial for attempting to restore trust in the government, although he also acknowledges that there are criticisms regarding the effectiveness of government actions in response to increasing violence. Brignardello underscores the central point of the speech, which is the call for collaboration between citizens and law enforcement. This idea of unity, while commendable, faces the reality of the distrust that many Peruvians feel towards the authorities and the police. According to Brignardello, it is essential for the government not only to speak of unity but also to implement effective strategies that promote constructive and peaceful dialogue with those who feel marginalized and discontented. Furthermore, the advisor emphasizes that characterizing violence as "terrorism" may be a necessary response to frame the problem of crime, but it also raises the need for a more comprehensive approach that addresses the socioeconomic roots fueling discontent. Brignardello suggests that the government must go beyond statements and adopt a clear plan that addresses the concerns of the population, especially in a context where strikes and protests have become frequent due to factors such as rising fuel costs. When discussing the allocation of police forces during protests, Brignardello lays out the duality of the situation: the need to maintain order, but also the imperative to respect citizens' rights and foster an environment of dialogue. He criticizes the tendency to resort to repressive approaches instead of seeking peaceful solutions to social conflicts. Finally, Brignardello concludes that Boluarte's words, while well-intentioned, must be complemented by concrete actions that reflect a genuine commitment to the needs of the population. Social cohesion, he argues, will not be achieved solely through speeches, but through inclusive and effective policies that address the real concerns of Peruvians. Undoubtedly, the challenge for the government lies in translating these words into tangible changes that positively impact the daily lives of citizens.
