Lima, January 16 (RHC)-- Thousands of Peruvians from the Aymara and Quechua communities, as well as from social and union organizations, converged on Lima from different provinces as part of the second edition of the "March of the Four Regions" (Cuatro Suyos).
They demand the resignation of President Dina Boluarte, the closure of Congress, the holding of a Constituent Assembly, and the release of former President Pedro Castillo, who was accused of rebellion and removed by Congress on December 7th. Since then, there have been massive protests in different regions. Security forces have repressed them with violence, leaving 50 citizens dead and hundreds of people injured and detained.
The first march of the Cuatro Suyos occurred in the year 2000 when thousands of people gathered in Lima to protest against the fraudulent third re-election of Alberto Fujimori.
On Sunday, the Peruvian Ombudsman's Office reported that a person died in the city of Moyobamba, in the San Martin region, amid a traffic accident linked to road blockades against the Boluarte regime.
Since December 7th, 50 people have been killed during the massive mobilizations that demand an immediate change in the Peruvian political system.
