Protest song "Dina Asesina" becomes the anthem of demonstrations in Peru (SERVINDI [Spanish] - 2/3/2023)

Protest song "Dina Assassina" becomes the anthem of demonstrations in Peru (Spanish)

A song that questions President Dina Boluarte for not resigning despite the deaths caused by state repression has become the de-facto anthem of the protests.

SERVINDI, February 3, 2023.- "This democracy is no longer a democracy, Dina Asesina, the people repudiate you" are the first verses of a song that has permeated protests against the government of Dina Boluarte.

The theme composed by a group of musicians has become the unofficial anthem in the demonstrations that are replicated throughout the country demanding the resignation of the President and the closure of Congress.


The song of just six verses that are repeated twice each expresses a harsh questioning of the President for the repression, which has left 58 Peruvians dead, in response to protests.

In addition, the song questions that, despite Boluarte's refusal to resign, the state continues to launch "bullets and missiles for our people" while the corrupt continue to take their "million-dollar salaries"

Below are the complete lyrics of the song that resounds in sit-ins and mobilizations, in squares and avenues, with traditional tambos (drums), marching bands, or mariachis, but always accompanied by the voice of the people.

Lyrics of the song “Dina Asesina”

Esta democracia ya no es democracia (bis)
This democracy is no longer a democracy (repeat)

Dina asesina el pueblo te repudia (bis)
Dina murderer the people disown you (repeat)

¿Cuántos muertos quieres para que renuncies? (bis)
How many dead do you want for you to resign? (repeat)

Dina asesina el pueblo te repudia (bis)
Dina murderer the people disown you (repeat)

Sueldos millonarios para los corruptos (bis)
Millionaire salaries for the corrupt (repeat)

Balas y misiles para nuestro pueblo (bis)
Bullets and missiles for our people (repeat)

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 ...
