Demonstrators clash with riot police during a protest against the government of President Dina Boluarte in Lima on January 19, 2023. AFPPIX: Thousands of protesters began marching through Peru's capital Thursday to demand the president's resignation and fresh elections, following weeks of violent unrest that have left 44 people dead.
Earlier Thursday some 1,000 protesters tried to storm the airport in Peru's second city Arequipa. They were repelled by police firing tear gas, local television showed. Protesters, mostly from Andean regions, set off from several points around Lima along major arteries with the aim of reaching the heavily-guarded presidential palace at the end of the day.
A second person, named as Salomon Valenzuela by the ombudsman's office, died of his injuries on Thursday. One of Peru's biggest labor unions, the General Confederation of Workers, called a strike for Thursday, though there were no visible signs of such a strike in Lima.
