Failed self-coup by Pedro Castillo
30 years after Fujimori's successful self-coup, Castillo attempted to dissolve Congress and become a dictator in #Peru. He ended up impeached and in the same prison as Fujimori.
With Dina Boluarte, Peru has its sixth President in four years. This instability has thus far not generated an economic or financial crisis, but if it spreads, it could have repercussions.
Following Castillo's arrest, riots have broken out in various areas of Peru, which to date have left some 18 dead. The rioters demand the resignation of Boluarte, the immediate dissolution of Congress and the convening of a constituent assembly. That is, to continue with the attempted coup. It is unlikely that they will prevail (although they have managed to press for the acceleration of the date for new elections). The government has declared a state of national emergency.
