WHY DO YOU PROTEST IN PERU?

The faces behind the violence are leaders who represent the extreme left. His fighting platform is not social but political. What they are demanding is a change in the economic model, a change in the Constitution through a constituent assembly that is presided over by a social group that they recognize as the ‘people’.

Lastly, they demand the release of the coup president Pedro Castillo who is also accused of corruption.

To achieve their objective, they use the labor mass employed by illegal mining and illicit drug trafficking as a shock force. In the last two days the strike has deflated, but it has been concentrated above all in the Puno region and a part of the Panamericana Sur highway in Ica.
