In that sense, Barreto recalled the beginning of the Government of Boluarte Zegarrain which more than 50 deaths of Peruvians who went out to protest due to violent repression were recorded.
“For me, the president Dina Boluarte He may have very good will, but the beginning of his Government was marked by blood, blood that, until now, remains unpunished. This is something that should lead us to reflect, to unite with all Peruvians so that, never again, the life of a brother or sister from Peru or from any country, here in our territory, is mistreated,” he expressed.
