Pedro Castillo, who was overthrown by the right-wing Congress in December 2022, has called the ongoing trial a sham and demanded the charges against him be annulled.

The accusations against Castillo are based on a speech in which he called for a Constituent Assembly. Castillo affirms that this is a rigged trial to destroy the democratic option of the Peruvian people.

In an interview, Victor Canales implied that Dina Boluarte may be responsible for the deaths of dozens of people during the protests of the coup d’état against Pedro Castillo, as well as the corruption embedded in the Peruvian Army leadership.

The document alleges that senior Peruvian officials either planned or deliberately failed to stop the violent repression of anti-coup protests which killed more than 50 people and injured thousands

The new round of protests will be called the “National Day of Permanent Popular Mobilization” and take place between July 19 and 28

Boluarte condemned the fresh wave of protests and blamed social organizations for creating violence and chaos in the country.

Evo Morales harshly criticized the move by the Boric government which occurred just after Peruvian congress approved the entry of hundreds of US troops for training activities

President AMLO reiterated that Mexico does not consider Dina Boluarte to be the legal president of Peru since the coup against Pedro Castillo

Right-wing sectors in Peru who have been Boluarte’s key allies since the coup, saved her from the first impeachment bid

The vacancy motion was presented due to the deaths of dozens of demonstrators in repression by security forces during the protests that have been taking place since last December

The decision came days after Colombian President Gustavo Petro lamented former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo’s absence at the Ibero-American Summit

According to Peru’s Ombudsman’s Office, with the death of 22-year-old Rosalino Florez Valverde, the death toll from state repression of anti-government and anti-congress protests rose to 67
