Medea Benjamin Interviewed on WBAI by The Indypendent
The Indypednent's John Tarleton and Julia Thomas interview Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK, who was recently in Peru to observe the elections. The daughter of a former dictator is still trying to reverse her apparent defeat in the country\u2019s June 6 presidential run-off election. Keiko Fujimori is alleging fraud and trying to annul 500,000 votes in her contest against leftist Pedro Castillo, who appears to have won by a narrow margin. A victory for Castillo, a union leader and former school teacher who is the son of peasant farmers, would mark a significant shift to the left for Peru, which has long been a stronghold of neoliberalism.
