Peru's new President Dina Boluarte gave in to protesters' demands early Monday, announcing in a nationally televised address that she would send Congress a proposal to move up elections after thousands of protesters again took to the streets demanding she resign.
The protests turned deadly on Sunday when two demonstrators were killed in a remote community in the Andes. A further five protesters were killed in demonstrations on Monday, officials said. The protesters want elections to replace not only Boluarte but all members of Congress.
