‘The poor chunchos1 and other idiocies’,

This country – I’m now positive – was founded on a reading of Aristophanes and Kafka. It’s not really a country as such, but a sort of pathetic tragi-comedy or depressing ‘como-tragedy’. Whichever you prefer. Just look at recent, appalling events.

If it’s obvious that everything that’s happening in this unfortunate country is deplorable (and I’m not talking about the football), then some things are more deplorable than others. The most recent has been the slaughter in the Amazon2, thanks to a bunch of ignorant, primitive, violent chunchos from the pre-agricultural age being egged on by crooks and communists wanting to transform them into stupid half-wits in the hope they will raise them to the dizzy heights of dictatorship and a government of butchers and assassins.

Don’t dare call me a racist. It’s the chunchos who are racist. I heard one of them, barely able to speak Spanish, saying that ‘five soldiers, four natives and one mestizo’ had been killed. As if ! Not even a dog-breeder would dare claim that. Let’s also remember that AIDESEP3 or whatever its name is calls itself ‘inter-ethnic’, that’s to say, inter-racial. Another of these Palaeolithics referred to the deaths of ‘three natives, four soldiers and one civilian’. Isn’t that exquisite ? Just as I suspected, it now turns out that the chunchos (sorry ! The natives) aren’t actually ‘civilians’ after all. If someone tries to sue me for my supposed ‘racism’, I would warn them that people from Juliaca4 have already tried and they didn’t succeed. In any case, they would also have to sue the Illustrated Universal Encyclopaedia, better known as Espasa, where it says in chapter 17, on page 702, verbatim : ‘CHUNCHO : -CHA. Adj. Savage Indian living in the Amazon. It is also used as a noun.’
