Peru: the opposition seeks the resignation of Boluarte
Thousands of Peruvians took to the central streets of Lima yesterday to demand the end of the government of the president of Peru, Dina Boluarteand Congress, which they loudly described as “murderer” and “seller of the country”, respectively.
“Olé, ole, olá, olá, Killer dina, we’re gonna get you out”, shouted the protesters at the restart of the mobilizations that between December and March they left 49 civilians dead due to the response of the Police and the Military Forces and that they had gone into hiatus in the midst of repression and natural disasters.
The opposition, in this context, seeks to reactivate the mobilizations based on citizen discontent. The reflection of the discontent is seen in all the polls: more than 80% reject the Governmentmore than 90% repudiate Congress and around 90% demand early elections.
