Montesinos damages Fujimorismo in Peru
His testimony was eagerly awaited. Eight years after former president
Alberto Fujimori and his shadowy security chief Vladimiro Montesinos fled the
country, Peruvians expected remarkable revelations when Montesinos took to the
stand in Fujimori's trial on human rights abuses last week. His performance was
indeed remarkable but not for the revelations. Instead, Montesinos denied that
Fujimori had any responsibility for rights violations during his government.
Rather than buttressing Fujimori, Montesinos' support damaged his credibility
and, in the process, any revival of Fujimorismo.
