Peru's 'Forgotten People' Rage Against Political Elite After Castillo Arrest (Reuters - 12/18/2022)
Peru's 'forgotten people' rage against political elite after Castillo arrest.
LIMA, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Leopoldo Huamani, 60, a farmer from Chalhuanca in southern Peru, traveled for three days to reach the capital Lima and march in support of ousted and jailed leader Pedro Castillo, whose fall has sparked deadly protests around the country.
Huamani is one of Peru's "forgotten" people, marginalized, rural groups Castillo tried to represent - often falling short - whose anger has been fired up by his arrest, threatening to derail a fragile new government and a reviled Congress.
