Peru: Protesters block streets in Arequipa over ousting of president

Description

Hundreds of protesters block the Alfredo Rodriguez Ballon International Airport and the Pan-American Highway in Arequipa, Peru's second largest city, against the ousting of former President Pedro Castillo and despite new President Dina Boluarte's announcement to bring forward the general elections to April 2024 instead of 2026. Protesters have demanded fresh elections and the resignation of new President Dina Boluarte, following the arrest of her leftist predecessor Castillo last week after he attempted to dissolve Congress and rule by decree.
