LIMA, July 19 (Reuters) - Thousands of anti-government protesters took to the streets in Peru on Wednesday, part of a new round of marches organized by groups opposed to President Dina Boluarte's eight-month-old administration, as police deployed to guard government offices. Many Peruvians accuse Boluarte and her allies of illegitimately removing and jailing her leftist predecessor Pedro Castillo, which led to angry and sometimes violent protests through last March that claimed 67 lives. Some 24,000 police officers were deployed throughout the country, according to officials, as authorities braced for a so-called "third takeover of Lima." Ground transport officials said protesters blocked six highways by early afternoon on Wednesday, mostly in southern Arequipa and Cusco regions. Peru, the world's second-largest copper producer, could also face disruptions along its key mining corridor, where according to environmental groups, communities will support the protests.

CNN —One week into her presidency, Peru’s new President Dina Boluarte is battling to contain widespread protests that erupted after the ousting of former President Pedro Castillo. Boluarte announced Tuesday the government will set up a crisis management committee as protests calling for political change continue across the country. Boluarte, his former vice president, has since become president, and on Monday proposed bringing general elections forward two years to April 2024 during a televised speech. At least seven people have died in the protests ongoing in Peru, according to a tweet from the health ministry on Wednesday. Boluarte also doesn’t belong to a political party after she was expelled from Peru Libre due to internal disagreements.
