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.
