Social Protest against Repression and Violence in Present-day Argentina and Peru

Abstract

[...]the violence that is either sponsored by state-related actors or provoked by political omission is undermining the quality and legitimacy of democracy (Koonings and Kruijt, 2004). According to the president, corrupt police chiefs and officers would be replaced or forced to resign. [...]32 regional leaders of the coca farmers were eventually invited to speak with the president. According to the members of the CONPACCP these accusations were completely false.
