PERU: Forgive and forget
The labour minister, Rudecindo Vega, got into hot water this week by proposing a broad political amnesty for all of those implicated in human rights violations during the 1980-2000 internal conflict in the interests of “national reconciliation”. Vega, who said the amnesty should benefit all sectors, including guerrillas, former soldiers and politicians, maintained that “building bridges” was essential to consolidate economic growth and to ensure the government’s flagship policy of social inclusion was sustainable. He proposed a national political accord on the issue to be reached in congress.
