Citizen groups, political groups and congressmen have been participating in a march against the constituent Assembly, in the Center of Lima. As it is recalled, the Constitution Commission of the Congress shelved the constitutional reform project, prepared by the Executive, to submit to a referendum the call to draft a new Constitution.
The protesters gathered from 3:00 pm this Saturday, May 7, in the vicinity of the Campo de Marte. Then, they advanced along Guzmán Blanco Avenue and headed in front of the Judicial Branch.
Despite the fact that the final route of this march was not previously traced, a police contingent has been supporting the shelter. No incident of violence was reported and it continues its journey as normal.
Among the political figures who attended the mobilization were congresswomen Norma Yarrow and Adriana Tudela, constitutionalist Lucas Ghersi, and former presidential candidate Lourdes Flores Nano.
The population that attended the march was against a new Constitution and demanded the resignation of the president, Pedro Castillo. They also called for new elections.
