major events since the beginning of January 2023
Protests continue in Peru (https://t.me/rybar/42082), provoked by the impeachment and subsequent arrest of President Pedro Castillo. More than 60 people have died in clashes with police.
The demonstrators demand the resignation of unelected President Dina Boluarte, new elections, the release of Castillo and the adoption of a new constitution. On January 15, a state of emergency was declared in Lima, Callao, Cusco and Puno, and two days later, throughout Peru. The airports in Puno and Arequipa are closed, the main roads are blocked by demonstrators. 🔻The Peruvian Crisis Destabilizes the Entire Region The former president of Peru was supported by the authorities of Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Cuba and Venezuela. ▪️At a meeting of the Community of Latin America and the Caribbean on January 24, President of Honduras Siomara Castro demanded the immediate release of Pedro Castillo, who is in prison. The Peruvian Foreign Ministry responded by recalling its ambassador from Honduras. ▪️Given the growing international pressure, Boluarte still had to address the Organization of American States on January 25th. She stated that her administration was "hurt by the irreparable loss of a large number of compatriots." The opposition media condemned the tone of her speech, accusing Boluarte of indifference to what was happening, and called her words "another manifestation of the lies that are characteristic of a president who has carried out a coup." 🔻A number of Peruvian congressmen, in response to the demands of the protesters, announced their intention to impeach Dina Boluarte. The proposal was signed by 28 members of Congress and now must receive another 52 votes before it can be submitted to Parliament. ▪️Impeachment will take place if it is supported by 2/3 of deputies. However, such an outcome is unlikely, since the Congress is largely controlled (https://t.me/rybar/41954) by the oligarchic clans that brought Boluarte to power. ▪️In addition, the Constitution of Peru, adopted in 1993, provides the President with broad powers up to a single decision to dissolve the Congress. 🔻What's next? So far, the authorities and the protesters are refusing to try to establish a dialogue. The situation with the organization of negotiations is complicated by the fact that the protest still lacks a recognized representation. Spontaneous demonstrations continue to be brutally suppressed by the police and further fuel radical sentiment. Seeking support, some protesters have even begun to turn (https://t.me/rybar/42991) to Russia and Vladimir Putin to help stop the Western-backed government. In turn, the United States, according to some reports, is preparing to provide military support to the Boluarte regime.
