Far from diminishing the protests after the removal of Martín Vizcarra as President, decided by the national congress, on Thursday night the demonstrations escalated, in protest at the departure of a president who was fighting against the corruption of politicians.
The main squares of the most popular cities in the country have been “taken” by protesters protesting the departure of Vizcarra, a president who had started a crusade against corruption that is linked to traditional Peruvian political parties.
The congress decision is related to a reaction from the political world against an administration that sought to combat the bad habits of a highly questioned establishment such as Peru.
AP The demonstrations, far from decreasing in intensity, have increased day by day after the removal of Vizcarra, which raises the fear of a social outbreak as has already happened in Chile and Ecuador, in protest against a political caste far from the citizen reality.
Vizcarra reaction
The former president, in fact, questioned the appointment of Ántero Flores Aráoz as prime minister of the Andean country and described it as a return “to the past” and a return to “traditional politics.”
In this context, the former president has criticized that one of the first statements offered by the new prime minister was to give a second chance to universities that did not obtain a license from the National Superintendency of Higher University Education (SUNEDU).
In his opinion, this “endangers the university reform” and “educational quality”, as reported by the RPP station.
AP The new president of Peru, Manuel Merino, will take the oath of office this Thursday to the Flores Aráoz cabinet, who has confirmed that he will lead a “transitional government” until the next elections, in which he has pointed out that there will be no “experiments.”
Vizcarra was dismissed after a vote of no confidence in Congress was successful, which reproached the former president for his alleged connection to a corruption plot. The former president, who was also promoted by the resignation of his predecessor, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, has always denied any wrongdoing.
