Thousands of Peruvians marched for peace as new protests were announced

“This is a cry of the Peruvian people, what we want is peace. They are millions of Peruvians and the vandals are few, they they will not take our country through violence, that’s why we’re here,” said Mónica Sánchez, one of the protesters.

In an earlier event, the current president Dina Boluarte said that to promote social peace she started a round of dialogues “no exceptions“in areas of greatest conflict and He demanded that the investigations into the deaths in the protests be carried out as soon as possible.

“We cannot find out about claims only when a conflict breaks out”he said in a speech. “We want quick justice for the relatives of our compatriots who died during the protests, this will prevent immunity and contribute to social peace“, he expressed.

On the other hand, leaders of civil groups and unions from ten regions in the south of the country, historically voters of the left, announced that on Wednesday they will start protests demanding the resignation of Boluarte, the closure of Congress, a Constituent Assembly and the release of former president Castillo.

In order to avoid riots, President Boluarte sent her ministers in recent days to some regions in the south of the country in seeking to talk with the leaders of the protesters, but many of them refused to meet with the officials.

In mid-December, the Boluarte government decreed a state of emergency in the countrya measure that the Armed Forces help the police to maintain public order.
