Anger grows in Peru as President Boluarte faces backlash over crime, killings, and weak governance

Peruvians are protesting against President Dina Boluarte over rising crime and government inaction.
Thousands have marched nationwide amid daily threats of extortion, murder, and gang-related violence.
The killing of 13 miners in a dispute over illegal gold mining triggered fresh outrage and unrest.
Protesters say Boluarte’s government lacks a clear plan to fight crime and enables impunity.
Critics cite weak policing, broken intelligence, and laws that protect criminals over victims.
The prime minister resigned ahead of a no-confidence vote, but few expect real change.
Public anger is mounting, with many demanding Boluarte’s resignation and urgent reforms.
