During the departure of former president Pedro Castillo, thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Lima and in different regions of Peru to demand the resignation of the new president, currently Dina Boluarte. Her government caused the death of more than 50 people killed by the Peruvian National Police and the Armed Forces. The demonstrators, upon learning of the deaths, arrived in Lima to demand the resignation of the president, the closing of the congress and new elections. The confrontations were long days, even weeks, not only in Lima, but also in different regions such as: Cusco, Ayacucho, Puno, where they were the great epicenters of demonstrations and multitude of people, it is there where many people were killed, the roads had been blocked, for them it was an indefinite strike, because if there was no solution the strike continues, phrase where the protesters repeated it very often in each blockade and also the resignation of Dina Boluarte. Currently, there is still no justice for the deceased, many have been seriously injured by the impacts of bullets and pellets in the body, the family is looking for a solution for this and also the population that still do not meet their demands and demands from the government.
