Peru to declare state of emergency following turbulent protests that left one dead

|
One person was killed and dozens of police officers were injured in turbulent demonstrations in Peru last night against President Jose Jerry, who took office a few days ago, according to an update from the country's ombudsman office. The Peruvian government is expected to declare a state of emergency in Lima in the coming hours and is planning a series of measures to address the situation. The protests were initiated by youth, transportation workers and civil organizations against corruption and increasing crime in the country, which also led to the dismissal of former President Dina Boluarte.
