Angry mobs stormed various government buildings in Lima, Peru, on Tuesday night, attempting to burn down the Superior Court of Justice of Lima and fighting police with bricks and sticks.
The violent protests followed a turbulent 24 hours in which communist President Pedro Castillo abruptly announced a “curfew” stripping citizens of their constitutional rights, then repealed the curfew when thousands disobeyed it. The curfew, Castillo claimed, was an attempt to subdue nationwide protests against skyrocketing gasoline and food prices, an increasingly common phenomenon in the world’s most vulnerable economies. Outraged political observers told local media that the curfew was baffling given that the government did not implement such measures even at the height of the terror spree by largely defunct Marxist gang Shining Path, and suggested Castillo had lost control of the country.
Castillo announced the curfew in a nationally televised address on Monday, minutes before midnight on Tuesday. He lifted the curfew at 5 p.m. Lima time on Tuesday after Public Defender of Peru Walter Gutiérrez filed a habeas corpus petition regarding the move, arguing it was unconstitutional. The mayor of Lima, Jorge Muñoz, similarly challenged the curfew through a habeas corpus petition.
“Peru today is capsizing socially, politically, and economically, and there seems to be no way out,” Muñoz said. “A solution should immediately be sought to end this situation. You [Castillo] said you would hold early elections if you did not meet expectatations – what are you waiting for?”

Sounds like they’re pissed.
I thought that this might be “mostly peaceful”, but I see that the current government is led by a Communist, so I guess that makes this disruption an “insurrection”.
The ones pushing the dumpster need to be inside of it.
Lol 🤣
I disagree. They are opposing a communist government. The police are the ones who should be in the dumpster.

There goes my trip to Lima, Cuzco, and Machu Picchu. Damn...
Must be Fake News. Everyone knows Communism works. Everyone shares in the plenty and everyone is happy.
