2. The protests that began in Peru after the removal of President Pedro Castillo continue to shake the country and will experience two critical days this Wednesday and Thursday.

Starting Tuesday, thousands of people began marches that left different departments, with the intention of coming together in the country's capital two days later.

Cusco, Cajamarca, La Libertad, Amazonas, Arequipa, Moquegua, Puno and Ica are the regions that want to emulate the mythical 'March of their four', in reference to the protest that was raised against the then president Alberto Fujimori in 2000. In This opportunity, the mobilizations cross the country demanding the impeachment of the president Dina Boluarte.

*The main demand behind the protests is the immediate call for general elections. Boluarte has already accepted an advance for April 2024, but the protesters consider that the deadline is insufficient and clamor for the celebration to take place this year.*

*In addition, the immediate resignation of Dina Boluarte is demanded, as well as the convening of a Constituent Assembly, which is in charge of drafting a new Magna Carta, and the release of former President Pedro Castillo.*
