BREAKING: Peru’s new government has declared a 30-day national emergency amid violent protests following the ouster of President Pedro Castillo.
“The National Police with the support of the Armed Forces will ensure the control throughout the national territory of personal property and, above all, strategic infrastructure and the safety and well-being of all Peruvians,” Defense Minister Luis Otarola Peñaranda announced.
The defense minister described the declaration as “an accord of the council of ministers.” His announcement didn’t mention, who was sworn in by Congress hours after lawmakers ousted Castillo. “It has been agreed to declare a state of emergency for the entire country. This is due to acts of vandalism, violence, the seizure of highways and roads, which are certainly already being stabilized and controlled by the National Police and the Armed Forces and which require a forceful and authoritative response from the government,” he said.The declaration includes the suspension of the rights of “personal security and freedom,” including the rights of assembly and freedom of movement.
