Rubio on Castillo Coup: Peru’s Institutions Rose to the Occasion

Dec 9, 2022 | Press Releases

U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement after former Peruvian president Pedro Castillo moved to dissolve Congress in an attempted coup before being replaced by former vice president Dina Boluarte. 

  • “Peru’s institutions rose to the occasion in order to maintain democratic order and stability. Would-be dictators and authoritarians worldwide, especially those in our region, must know that their citizens won’t be fooled by ineffective, progressive policies. The Biden Administration must be wary of its current foreign policy of appeasement to foreign dictators, the erosion of democracy, and indifference towards our hemisphere.” — Senator Rubio
