Legislators submit motion to impeach Peru President Dina Boluarte

Through its brutal actions, the Boluarte regime forfeited any legitimacy to lead the country. Even curfews cannot keep impoverished Peruvians from standing up for Castillo and democracy. The fury is justified since it was allegedly the US that orchestrated the coup against Castillo to secure its corporate and geopolitical interests. It is time for US imperialism and its increasingly repressive Peruvian puppet government to accept reality and return Peru to the Peruvians.
Boluarte has the right to continue Castillo's remaining term after his failed coup attempt. However, she must now ensure that the security forces' crackdown doesn't escalate further beyond what it has rightfully done to quell the vandalism and looting. She must address the public’s discontent and stabilize the situation.
