President Garcia admitted mistakes, copped to exaggeration, and essentially committed political seppuku on national television last Wednesday. The following day, Peruvian lawmakers voted to repeal two presidential decrees that fomented armed conflict between security forces and indigenous communities in the Amazon.
Opposition leaders continued to hammer away, singling out seven more mandates for repeal that the president issued last year as he sought passage of a free trade agreement with the US. Yehude Simon, the Prime Minister, has tendered his resignation though it has been rejected by Garcia, he clearly recognizes that others will be needed in order to properly dilute culpability.
