Supporters of Peru's former president demand the dissolution of Congress and immediate elections as clashes between protesters and police turn deadly.

Peru’s Ombudsman’s Office said that since the protests began in early December after Castillo's dismissal, 39 civilians had been killed in clashes with police and another seven had died in traffic accidents, as well as the fallen police officer.
The police officer’s death came after the killing of 17 people Monday in Juliaca as protests seeking immediate elections resumed in neglected rural areas of the country still loyal to Castillo. The unrest began following Castillo’s removal and arrest following a widely condemned attempt to dissolve Congress and head off his own impeachment.
Castillo’s successor, his former running mate Dina Boluarte, has supported a plan to push up to 2024 elections for president and congress originally scheduled for 2026. She’s also expressed support for judicial investigations into whether security forces acted with excessive force.

Peru’s (U.S.-backed coup regime) is bringing back the tactics of the fascist Fujimori dictatorship. U.S. ambassador Lisa Kenna, a secretary and a CIA employee for nine years, and the military attache to the U.S. embassy, Mariano Alvarado, were in active contact with the Peruvian high command. Kenna met with Peru’s defense secretary Gustavo Bobbio the day before Castillo’s overthrow and arrest, while Alvarado coordinated the coup with the military.
Back to pre COVID social issues. This was happening everywhere in 2019 then COVID showed up.

Peru has two big problems: Corruption and their Constitution that cultivates it.
Improving and clarifying their Constitution might not eradicate all corruption, but keeping
it the way it is only going to make matters worse for Peru’s future.
