By my count, in the context of #Peru's 2nd round elections, this is 3rd Ministry of Defense communique clarifying the non deliberative nature of the military. This statement denounces the use of official military insignia by former officials who served under #Fujimori in 90s.

Those ex military officials are pushing the narrative of #KeikoFujimori that the second-round vote was fraudulent. No evidence of fraud has been found, by int'l observers or by #Peru elections officials.

After statement was released, Jorge Montoya, one of the former military officials who signed it—and who is the second-most voted member of the 2021-2026 Congress—called for nullifying the elections, dissolving election authorities, and convening new elections. #Peru 
Meanwhile TV personalities are openly calling for a coup d'état

Some context. in 1999, amidst rising protests, Alberto Fujimori & Montesinos, his security advisor, had senior military officials sign an oath of loyalty to their leadership, to the 1992 'self-coup', and the 1995 amnesty laws. It's weird but it's real. acontracorriente.lamula.pe/2012/05/17/el-…
Surpise! One of the signatories to the Fujimori-Montesinos loyalty oath was Jorge Montoya, who is now repeating #KeikoFujimori's false narrative of election fraud in an effort to overturn the results, which Keiko lost. cooltuline.com/jorge-montoya-… #Peru
