Pope Francis publicly called for the cessation of violence in Peru, after weeks of protests over the political crisis, and asked the authorities to undertake “the path of dialogue” in full respect for Human Rights.
“I join the Peruvian bishops in saying” No to violence, wherever it comes from, no more deaths,” requested the pontiff after the Sunday Angelus prayer from the window of the Apostolic Palace.
Protests have rocked Peru since December to demand the resignation of President Dina Boluarte and have already left 62 dead. EFE
