Since December 7, the political crisis broke out after the legislature attacked the president, today detained for rebellion and whom others consider responsible for trying to carry out a coup d’état, since he announced his intention to dissolve Congress minutes before being arrested. The demonstrators, who carry out roadblocks, marches, assemblies, strikes and other protest actions, demand the resignation of the interim president, Dina Boluarte, and write a new constitution to replace the current one, established by the then president Alberto Fujimori in 1993. In addition, they demand the dissolution of the current Congress and the advancement of elections to renew the executive authorities this 2023. According to the Ombudsman’s Office, 57 people have lost their lives as a result of the confrontations and blockades registered in Peru, in addition to an element of the Peruvian National Police (PNP).
