00:00Meanwhile, in Peru, various organizations held a march to demand more security from the government of Dina Boluarte,
00:06whose premier was forced to resign because the Congress was preparing to dismiss him for his insufficient work to combat organized crime.
00:15More details with our colleague, Ramiro Angulo.
00:17Workers, traders and carriers mobilized in Peru to demand security and to question the power-sharing that ended with the unexpected resignation of Premier Gustavo Adrián Zeng.
00:37We know very well that the president is not there by the approval of the citizens, by the popular vote,
00:42she is there by a decision of the right-wing and ultra-right parties that govern from the Congress.
00:47In Peru, there is no longer a balance of powers so these parties put pressure on the president so that she will give them some ministries.
00:59The southern strike demands gas for the people, the elimination of mining projects such as Tiamaria and La Tapada,
01:05and the rejection of water privatization.
01:11There is an indignation that is also expressed in the streets from the very day that the president was sworn and the people took to the streets.
01:18She arrived with massive protests and the people have not stopped demonstrating.
01:22What I do believe is that this destabilizing potential of the streets is contained by the Congress
01:26and the political forces that are determined not to let go of power and maintain the situation I believe until 2026.
01:32The citizen indignation is growing because in the midst of this crisis the president has asked Congress to be at the enthronement of Liu the 14th and also seeks to double her own salary.
01:49It is not only the south, today the north, today Chimbote is also following the measure in the south of Peru.
02:01Several departments are coming out to protest and the right to protest is a fundamental right that our political constitution recognizes
02:07as well as the American Convention of Human Rights and it must be highlighted as a right.
02:13Because precisely in our country this right has not been guaranteed and on the contrary it has been contravened with the constitution.
02:19With conventions, and we have had the result of this, for example in the protests of 2022-2023, 50 assassinations.
02:27For the analysts consulted, the new changes in the cabinet are the result of negotiations made with the people's backs turned.
02:44It is a dramatic situation for the country.
02:47One believes that it has already reached the bottom and it continues to reach the bottom.
02:50The resignation of the premier and the cabinet reshuffle show us that nothing is changing,
02:58on the contrary things are going to continue getting worse.
03:04The levels of hired killings and insecurity are very high.
03:07The indignation and at the same time the questioning of the government's inaction is growing.
03:11According to experts, Peru has a government with no clear direction whose president only seeks to survive.
03:22Desde Lima para Telesur, Ramiro Angulo Maquiavelo.
