A member of the armed forces of the old peruvian state at the shining trenches of combat in El Frontón recently gave an interview to a peruvian newspaper. In it, he tells – opposing the claims of the old peruvian state, which maintain only 133 of the prisoners of war and political prisoners of the Communist Party of Peru were murdered in the struggles on the 19th of June 1986 in El Frontón – at least 300 were massacred. He also claims that the so called “Blue Ward” that was occupied by the heroic combatants of the CPP was completely blown up by grenades. When some of the combatants left the remains and allegedly surrendered, they were shot, one even chased towards the beach and killed when he reached the water.

We publish this english translation of the article "Hienas de toga, gorilas de pijama e lobos em pele de cordeiro..." from issue 199 of A Nova Democracia:
The different fractions of the false “left” does not know limits of its audacity. For these people, the dictate “the ends justifies the means”, which expresses very well its physiologism, worth more than any banner. Senator Randolfe Rodrigues and deputy Alessandro Molon, both from Rede are examples!1 Their faces don’t blush when they pose as “social rights” defenders and against of “rights removal”, as they present themselves at the parliamentary pigsty as the most enthusiasts of the hypocrite moralizing anti-corruption crusade embarked by the Public Prossecutor’s Office and judiciary. And what to say about the illustrious deserter Aldo Rebelo (ex-leader of the revisionist Pecedobe), Defence Minister of the last mandate of Dilma Rousseff; who, watching the boat sinking, like a rat, movedlock, stock and barrel to Brazilian Socialist Party (PSB), the party that during many years composed the opportunist and electioneering front headed by the Workers Party (PT), but which voted in block for the impeachment of the ex-manager Dilma Rousseff?2 All the “politic class”, the old declared right and the false “left” (which means, new right), even bogged down to the neck in the mud, pursuits one single and common goal. First, to present themselves as the true “ethic” paladins seeking to get rid of the swords over their heads, in order to, try to clout electorally, pointing out the corruption of the others.
