Daily Inspiration Quote by Alberto Fujimori

Victory talk, with a lawyerly escape hatch. Fujimori’s line is engineered to do two things at once: declare the war on terror essentially won and preempt the political damage of whatever “isolated case” has just surfaced. The phrasing “showing to the world” isn’t incidental; it recruits an international audience as a jury, implying Peru has graduated from crisis state to model nation. “Feasible” is the technocrat’s word for what is really a moral and coercive project: not just defeating insurgents, but proving the state’s capacity to do it.

The subtext is reputational triage. By framing violence as a before-and-after story - terrorism “as it was before” versus today’s supposedly residual blip - he converts ongoing insecurity into a rounding error. “Doesn’t mean that terrorism is alive” is a rhetorical resuscitation attempt: he’s trying to kill the narrative even if the facts won’t cooperate. It’s also a warning to critics: don’t use this incident to reopen the ledger.

Context matters because Fujimori’s counterinsurgency against Shining Path and MRTA was paired with an authoritarian consolidation: emergency powers, militarization, intelligence services, and widespread human-rights abuses that later defined his legacy as much as the tactical successes. The sentence performs the state’s preferred memory: order restored, anomalies dismissed, legitimacy secured. It works because it offers closure - a powerful commodity in a traumatized country - while quietly insisting that accountability, like terrorism, belongs to the past.
