As is tradition on every July 28, the Monsignor Carlos Castillo Mattasoglio made his while traditional for the mass of National Holidays. In this message, he reflected on the political situation in Peru and would have taken the opportunity to subtly tell the President Pedro Castillo take a step to the side.
The archbishop remembered the letter he sent him Don Jose de San Martin to Simón Bolívar on August 29, 1822, in which he informed him that he was giving up the campaign to liberate Peru to make way for the Venezuelan general:
YOU CAN SEE: How many ministers did the first year of Pedro Castillo’s government have and who were they?
“Don José understood that in order to achieve the common good of Peru, an adequate and fair act of detachment had to be carried out that would allow an effective action that would culminate the war. Therefore, he decided something even deeper: to retire to give way to whoever had the forces prepared so that the republican libertarian process would not go backwards”, mentioned Castillo Mattasoglio
Subsequently, the Mgr he prepared to read verbatim a fragment of the letter:
“I am intimately convinced that whatever the vicissitudes of the present war, the independence of America is irrevocable; but I am also convinced that its prolongation will cause the ruin of their peoples, and it is a sacred duty for the men to whom their destinies are entrusted to avoid the continuation of such evils”.
“In short, General, my party is irrevocably taken. For the 20th of next month, I have convened the first congress in Peru and, the day following its installation, I will embark for Chile”.
Then the Archbishop made the following reflection, the same one that was a much more direct message for the head of state: “Isn’t that detachment also urgent today? Do we not miss the presence of that generosity in the entire national leadership? (…). Huge political crisis with a viral background of corruption, cover-up at the service of particular interests.”
