Lima. Las Fuerzas Armadas peruanas, otrora involucradas en golpes de Estado o sustento de regímenes autoritarios, “han aprendido la lección” y fueron decisivas para frustrar el intento golpista de Pedro Castillo al negarle apoyo, dijeron analistas.

Los militares “optaron por preservar la poca institucionalidad y no propiciar mayor caos”, le dijo a la AFP el politólogo Alonso Cárdenas, quien recordó que ya en 2020 se negaron a reprimir a manifestantes en el efímero gobierno de Manuel Merino.
