Two people died this Sunday in the Peruvian city of Andahuaylas, in the southern Andean region of Apurimac, when they participated in a protest to demand the early elections and the resignation of President Dina Boluarte. The National Human Rights Coordinator (CNDDHH) reported it and the Ombudsman's Office confirmed it.
The governor of the Peruvian region of Apurímac, Baltazar Lantarón, spoke at first of a deceased in the demonstrations. In an interview with Channel N, Lantarón said that the victim, a young man, was taken to a health center. He was later identified by the initials D.A.Q..
He added that, due to the protests in that southern Andean city, they are asking President Dina Boluarte to set up a dialogue table in that city to resolve the protesters' demands, since an indefinite strike begins tonight in that area.
The president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, expressed her condolences this Sunday for the death of the boy in Andahuaylas. "The life of no Peruvian deserves to be sacrificed for political interests. I express my condolences for the death of a citizen in Andahuaylas," she wrote on her Twitter account.
The president also reiterated her "invocation for dialogue" and to "put an end to violence" in a day of mobilizations and confrontations between protesters and the National Police in that Peruvian city.
However, hours later the death of a second person was confirmed in the same protests: an 18-year-old boy identified as Becam Romario Quispe Garfias.
For its part, the Peruvian Corporation of Airports and Commercial Aviation (Corpac) announced this Sunday the closure of the airport in the southern Andahuaylas city, in the Peruvian region of Apurímac, due to the disorders and the burning of part of its facilities by protesters. .
Through a statement, Corpac explained that the aerodrome "has been suffering attacks and acts of vandalism" since Saturday afternoon, which have affected the runway and essential equipment to provide the air navigation service.
Likewise, "they have set fire to the transmitter room, the fuel room" and have surrounded the terminal, where 50 members of the National Police and Corpac workers are located, added the official source.
In this sense, the state company requested the reinforcement of the National Police in the place to protect the lives of the people who are "hostages."
Another piece of news this Sunday is that the Peruvian congressman Pasión Dávila, from the Magisterial Bloc, punched the deputy Juan Burgos, from the right-wing Avanza País party, in the first session, which had to be temporarily suspended, after the parliamentary dismissal of Pedro Castillo .
The session was convened to convey a message from the Nation's prosecutor, Patricia Benavides, in which she stated that "preliminary proceedings are being carried out" to Castillo, as well as to her former Prime Minister Bettsy Chávez and former Interior Minister Willy Huerta, by the self-coup of the former president.
During the plenary session, various congressmen began to launch harangues in favor of the protests carried out throughout the country, and then comments began to be made between the benches that could not be heard.
Then, Dávila crossed into the area where the rightists are located, headed towards Burgos decisively and hit Burgos from behind, who did not see the parliamentarian coming. Minutes later, Burgos crossed the plenary hall and ran against Dávila, but several congressmen intervened and prevented a new attack on the spot.
