The government of Peru on Sunday expanded and prolonged a state of emergency to deal with a two-month-old revolt against President Dina Boluarte that has claimed 48 lives in clashes between protesters and security forces.
Protesters clash with the police during a demonstration against the government of Peruvian President Dina Boluarte in Lima on February 4, 2023. – Hundreds of protesters gathered at the accesses to Lima to attend a march this Saturday that they promise “will be the biggest” and “with all the blood”, according to the organizers of the protests calling for the resignation of President Dina Boluarte and the closure of Congress.
On January 13, the government had extended by 30 days a state of emergency for Lima, El Callao, Cusco and Puno. The measure authorizes the military to back up police actions to restore public order. It also suspends constitutional rights such as freedom of movement and assembly. Peru has been embroiled in a political crisis with near-daily demonstrations since December 7, when then-president Pedro Castillo was arrested after attempting to dissolve Congress and rule by decree.
