The president of Peru calls for calm and serenity in the face of protests in several cities

“We guarantee the unrestricted fulfillment of human rights”Boluarte said on Twitter.

“I call for calm and serenity. Dialogue and understanding is imperative”added in a message uploaded to that social network.

Students, workers and left-wing political parties called a march in Lima for today starting at 4:00 p.m.

Roadblocks remained for the third day in the southern Andean parts of the country where Castillo, a former rural school teacher, has the most support.

In the Ica and Arequipa regions, several sections of the Pan-American Highway, the main highway that crosses the country from north to south, continued to be blocked, leaving dozens of buses and cargo trucks stranded.

Hundreds of people who marched yesterday for the second day through the streets of Lima confronted the police in their attempt to reach the headquarters of the Congress. The police used tear gas to break up the mobilization that left some detainees.

Castillo tried to dissolve Congress on Wednesday, hours before the legislative body debated a third motion to impeach the former president, which was finally approved.

After his failure to establish an “exception government”, he was detained by his own escort while on his way to the Mexican embassy in Lima to request political asylum.

He was imprisoned “preliminarily” for seven days, by decision of the National Prosecutor’s Office, which accuses him of rebellion.
