Peru Confirms Extinction of US-Controlled Lima Group

Published 22 September 2021

On Monday, Peru’s Representative to the Organization of American States (OAS) Harold Forsyth confirmed the extinction of the U.S.-controlled Lima Group, which supported destabilization attempts against Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro.

“The Lima Group is not a legally established organization but a mechanism that worked for five years and already served its purpose,” Forsyth stated.

President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (2016-2018) created this group to bring together far-right governments and support the Venezuelan opposition. Since President Pedro Castillo took office on July 28, however, he assured that Peru would no longer intervene in Venezuela's internal affairs.

The Castillo administration supports the Mexico-hosted dialogue between the Bolivarian governement and the opposition since it will serve to create the conditions for the lifting of the U.S. blockade against Venezuela.
