Boluarte: "Mobs have said that rivers of blood will flow, we don't want it" (Spanish)

Dina Boluarte denounces radicals that are planning a violent coup in Lima.


President Dina Boluarte warned about a violent plan behind the Great March of the Four of theirs scheduled in Lima for January 18 and 19 by various unions and local and regional organizations, which are already traveling for the demonstration, according to information from the Executive.

During the opening ceremony of the jurisdictional year of the Constitutional Court (TC), the President said she knew that "they want to take Lima" from Wednesday. For this reason, she asked that the event take place in a climate of peace and without confrontations with the National Police (PNP).

“We don't want any more blood. They have said that rivers of blood will flow, we do not want it. Enough, calm down, we know they want to take Lima, because of everything that is happening, on the 18th and 19th. I call on them to take Lima, but calmly and in peace, I'll wait for them at the government house to be able to talk about the social agendas they have,” he said.

Boluarte thus alluded to the demands of the demonstrations for him to resign from office, call immediate general elections, close Congress, and call a Constituent Assembly.

In addition, she called on the Regional Governor of Puno, one of the regions that concentrated the protests this month and who refuses to talk with the Executive, to work together to "defend democracy" and that "we do not continue to polarize the country."

With the exception of Huancavelica, the leaders of these regions are part of the "First Macroregional Meeting of the South", held on December 28, where the March of the 'Cuatro Suyos' was announced, alluding to the four cardinal points of the Inca Empire.

On Monday, the caravan advanced to Ica in trucks carrying hundreds of protesters who left from various towns in Apurímac, located in the Andes. Other groups from Arequipa, Cusco, Puno, Huancavelica, and Ayacucho will also travel to Lima in the next few hours to join the protest march.

On the other hand, several Provinces of La Libertad joined a strike with the blockade of the Pan-American highway, which was released later, and a total of six transit points interrupted in the towns of Virú and Sánchez Cerro.

During this day there have been no confrontations or acts of violence in the marches, but the stoppage of activities was confirmed in the provinces of Chincheros and Espinar in Cusco, Virú and Sánchez Carrión in La Libertad, and in Tambopata in the Madre de Dios Region, according to the report of the Ombudsman.

The protests have left fifty dead since last December, as well as 698 injured civilians and 442 injured police officers.

Only Two Grades of Gasoline to be Sold in Peru as of January 1, 2023 (original) The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) reported that only two grades gasoline, regular (91 octane) and premium (97 octane), will be sold at the country's taps. Minister of Energy and Mines Oscar Vera Gargurevich clarified that this measure will not affect the increase in fuel prices. Only two types of gasoline will be marketed in Peru from January 2023. MINEM reported that simplification will not increase prices and will be implemented gradually. As of January 1, 2023, the adaptation process for the sale of regular and premium gasoline and gasohol (‘gasoholes’) in Peru will begin. This is within the framework of a simplification process that seeks to promote the Ministry. In this way, gasoline and gasohol of 84, 90, 95, 97 and 98 octanes will give way to only two fuels (91 and 97 octane) that are more efficient and with less sulfur load at a national level in line with what happens in other countries ...
