What’s fuelling public anger in Peru?

Protests calling for change have taken place because the former president was impeached and arrested.

Tens of hundreds of persons are anticipated to descend on Peru’s capital Lima for 2 days of anti-government protests.

They need President Dina Boluarte to resign and early elections be held.

Many are supporters of her predecessor, Pedro Castillo, and have an analogous background to their former chief.

They're Indigenous, poor and are available from rural Peru’s mountainous areas.

They are saying President Boluarte doesn’t symbolize them, however she has refused to step down.

What is going to it take to repair the political disaster?
