• Peru President Dina Boluarte rules out resigning after the failure of the takeover of Lima

Dina Boluarte sang victory

after the failure of the takeover of Lima, which was not considered a mass march and which also degenerated into a pitched battle led by the most radical, who tried to pounce on the reviled Congress.

"The situation is under control," said the president in her appearance before the country, backed by her most important ministers but without counting on the fact that the fight between indigenous people and Protestants has not ended.

Not much less.

"

We have felt humiliated to see that the president congratulated the National Police. We will

continue with the peaceful mobilizations until she resigns from her position," replied Félix Suasaca, one of the community leaders of the Puno border, a region that concentrates a good part of the fatalities from the conflict generated in December after the failed coup d'état by the now imprisoned

Pedro Castillo

.

Indigenous people, students and community members remain in two universities in the capital, willing to keep up their fight against the president.

The provisional balance of fatalities

rises to 55

: 43 protesters killed during clashes with police and military, 10 civilians killed due to roadblocks and a policeman burned alive by a violent mob.

Not only was the broadcast of the clashes in the center of the capital ugly to the most violent, but also the evidence that the assault on the airports of Cuzco, Puno and Arequipa, during which the last young man died, was planned in advance, as and as confirmed by the Government.

The siege against the Arequipa airfield continued on Thursday with a new combat start.

The Minister of Labor added that 70% of the country worked at 100%, which is why the protest was centralized above all in the southern Andes, between Puno, Cusco, Arequipa and Apurímac, Boluarte's homeland.

"

The takeover of Lima has shown that whether she likes it or not, the president is being adequately advised.

We are going to see the greatness that Boluarte can have, but a first rapprochement can be generated and a dialogue process can begin. What's next? I believe that the advancement of the elections will be hastened, the president has made it very clear that her time is very short. The point is that Congress help her and it is the right-wing groups that have to help her because clearly the left no," the analyst Maite Vizcarra explained to EL MUNDO, who is convinced that the general elections, the advancement of which is being negotiated in Parliament for April 2024, will end up being held this year.

The failure of the first indigenous day in Lima, however, has not separated Boluarte from the crossroads in which she has been trapped since the first day of her mandate, on December 7.

"

At this point, the best solution is for him to negotiate the terms of his resignation.

That is, to demand a board of directors in the Congress of national consensus, not only among congressmen, and also to agree on the isolation of the violent with intransigent agendas. The government quickly lost viability, even more so if it decides to ally itself with its political enemy (the right) after being unfairly branded as a usurper", contrasted the sociologist Juan Luis Dammert.
