Following the ousting of president of Peru,Pedro Castillo on 7 December 2022,a series of political protests against the government of president Dina Boluarte and the Congress of Peru occurred. The demonstrations lack centralized leadership and originated primarily among grassroots movements and social organizations on the left to far-left,as well as indigenous communities,who feel politically disenfranchised. Castillo was removed from office and arrested after announcing the dissolution of Congress,the intervention of the state apparatus,and the establishment of an "emergency government",which was characterized as a self-coup attempt by some media organizations and institutions in Peru while Castillo's supporters said that Congress attempted to overthrow Castillo. Castillo's successor Dina Boluarte,along with Congress,were widely disapproved,with the two receiving the lowest approval ratings among public offices in the Americas. Among the main demands of the demonstrators are the dissolution of Congress,the resignation of Boluarte,new general elections,the release of Castillo,and the formation of a constituent assembly to draft a new constitution. It has also been reported that some of the protesters have declared an insurgency. Analysts,businesses,and voters said that immediate elections are necessary to prevent future unrest,although many establishment political parties have little public support.
