Cusco Loses APEC

Yesterday, Peru’s Minister of Defense announced that Cusco will no longer host any of the APEC meetings scheduled for this year. He stated that this decision was not made by the Government but by the ‘cusqueño people’ whom, with their violent actions and protests, made it clear they were not willing nor ready to receive visitors anytime soon.

‘These violent acts are a clear sign that Cusco doesn’t want members of the APEC to hold their meetings in this city. Some with their violence and others with their accomplice silence have decided on this.’

‘They ask the whole country to vote for

Machu Picchu

to be one of the seven wonders and once they win, they don’t want anybody to visit this jewel; they don’t want to treat their visitors politely. It is a shame for the country and it harms all of us.’

As soon as this statement was given, the President of the Cusco Region, declared there was no reason for this decision and considered it an insult to Cusqueños and their ‘hospitality’. At the same time, he announced protests will continue throughout March and issued a strike call for Holy Week (March 17-23). It is also expected that radical groups protest today and the following days against this decision.

It is yet not known where these meetings will take place, though

Lima

is still main host to this event.
