The regret for the death of citizens during the repression of the protests in southern Peru was expressed by the interim president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, in Ayacucho. This was reported on March 21 by TVPerú Noticias.
Boluarte led the inaugural act of Holy Week “Ayacucho, live your faith 2023”, during which he commented on the deaths of protesters during the repression in southern Peru, where he has the highest rate of popular disapproval.
“Many compatriots have died, so I reiterate my condolences to the affected families in Ayacucho”she said.
At the same time, the president of Peru stressed that these events will not go unpunished.
At the same time, he stressed that his government will continue to bet on dialogue, mutual understanding, reconciliation and social peace.
Let us remember that on December 7, 2022, a right-wing coup took place in Peru, as a result of which the country’s congress dismissed the leftist leader Pedro Castillo, who was arrested and imprisoned after the announcement of the dissolution of the congress.
Congress, which impeached the legitimately elected president Castillo, appointed Prime Minister Dina Boluarte as president. After the coup, massive protests began in different regions of Peru, during which, according to various sources, some 70 people died. The demonstrators demand the release of Castillo, the dissolution of congress, the resignation of Boluarte and the holding of early elections.
