Peru’s reaction to Venezuelan intervention

On July 26 2007, The Americas Report ran an article entitled: "Chávez’s dangerous intervention in Perú" which described the massive protests that were occurring in different regions of Peru. Analysts are convinced that the demonstrations are being promoted by Venezuelan President, Hugo Chávez. In addition, we described Chavez’s intent on pressuring Peru into joining an alliance with Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia and Nicaragua called the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA). We at The Americas Report decided to talk to specialists in this subject to see what legal measures could be used against this overt intervention of Hugo Chavez in Peruvian internal affairs.
