In the midst of the tumult, the demonstrators they threw waste at the official vehicle that was carrying Dina Boluarte back to the Alejandro Velasco airport in Cusco and they hurled all sorts of epithets at him.
In her participation, the President of the Republic mentioned that the claims of Peruvians who demand new elections, the closure of Congress and a new Constitution, have no basis, since she already called for early elections and the other issues are not resolved from the Government Palace.
Finally, he mentioned that he will not resign from the presidency of the Republic, as the strikers demand, Otherwise, the President of Congress would have to assume the Government, and, according to her, that would not “calm the spirits” of the population, but rather exacerbate them.
