Arequipa: Blocking of metal meshes on the Añashuayco bridge prevents the passage of people.
The Añashuayco bridge has been blocked since January 19, and this has been harming dozens of residents of the northern cone who walk long stretches to reach their destinations.
On the morning of this Sunday the 22nd, La República spoke with those affected to find out their position on this extreme measure by the protesters who are calling for the resignation of President Dina Boluarte.
"The police threw tear gas bombs, which caused people to get upset and block the bridge. If there weren't this repression, people would be calm," said Carla Téllez, who was heading towards her home in the Apipa association (Cerro Colorado).
