President Urges Lawmakers To Reconsider Early Elections As Public Anger Builds

PERU
  • President Dina Boluarte has urged lawmakers to reconsider a proposal to advance elections to later this year, promising she would propose a constitutional reform to move general elections to October if lawmakers fail to do so.
    • Lawmakers were set to continue debate on Monday after rejecting a motion last week that would open the door to holding elections this year. The vote on Friday drew consternation from the president, who is increasingly under pressure as nationwide protests call for her resignation.
    • Public anger has grown after a protester died in Lima on Saturday night, the first victim in the country's capital since protests began in December.
  • If the latest IEP poll from Peru accurately reflects public opinion, there’s been a huge jump (a doubling) of support for calling a constituent assembly since last year.
  • Separately, the Peruvian National Federation of Coffee Growers and Farmers are scheduling a national strike today, calling for President Dina Boluarte’s resignation, among other demands.
