Former Bolivian president Evo Morales diagnosed with coronavirus

Date:JANUARY 13, 2021, JANUARY 14, 2021, FILE Former Bolivian President Evo Morales tested positive for the coronavirus and is getting treatment to combat symptoms, according to a statement issued by his office late on Thursday (January 14). "He is currently stable and is receiving medical attention," the statement said, without providing details on his symptoms. Last week, 61-year old Morales participated in group meetings with coca growers in Cochabamba in the central part of the country. The critical-care wards of major hospitals in Bolivia and neighbouring Peru have been near collapse after the end-of-year holidays, reflecting regional health concerns as much of Latin America struggles to secure adequate COVID-19 vaccine supplies. While daily cases remain below last year's peak, depleted resources, weary medical workers and a recent rush of severe cases are taxing already ailing healthcare systems from Chile to Mexico, officials say.

Peruvians demand justice for alleged victims of police brutality

Date:JANUARY 9, 2021 Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Lima on Saturday (January 9) to protest over police brutality in the country. Victims of police violence, groups and social organisations marched along main avenues towards the memorial to the "heroes of the Bicentennial" in the capital. Similar marches were held in other parts of the country. Recently a strike by workers from agricultural export companies asking for more pay and better working conditions was violently quelled by police. Millions of Peruvians marched against interim President Manuel Merino in November last year. After just five days in power, and faced by intense protests in Lima that led to the deaths of two demonstrators and some 200 injuries, Merino resigned. The reaction by police to the protests in the capital has ignited a debate about police brutality, which human rights advocates say has historically been more common in the country's interior, where low-income Peruvians have a harder time demanding accountability. At least 20 demonstrators were shot with lead pellets or glass marbles during the Lima protests, according to medical records, interviews and information compiled by the local Human Rights Coordinator. In November, Human Rights Watch said there was "credible and solid" evidence that such ammunition had been used by the police. In Peru, human rights advocates say police forces have been emboldened in part by a new 'Police Protection Law' passed in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic that backs officers who shoot on duty. Peru's new interim president Francisco Sagasti, a centrist who replaced Merino, has vowed there will be "no impunity" for violent officers, and removed 18 senior police chiefs from duty in the wake of the protests, citing the need to "strengthen" the police. No police officer has been charged or named as a potential suspect for actions relating to the protests. Protesters such as Jack Pintado died in Lima on Nov. 14, with 10 lead pellets lodged in his upper body, legal records show. Three weeks later, Jorge Munoz died on a sidewalk in Peru's north after being hit by a "lead projectile." Others survived, their bodies heavily maimed. In the wake of U.S. demonstrations against racial injustice and police brutality this year, Latin America has also seen a wave of anger over perceived police impunity, with protests in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil.

Peru inks deal with Sinopharm for COVID-19 vaccines

Peru has signed an agreement with Chinese pharmaceutical firm Sinopharm to acquire its vaccine against COVID-19, with the first 1 million doses to arrive this month, Peruvian President Francisco Sagasti announced Wednesday. In a nationwide address, Sagasti said Peru's cooperation in Sinopharm phase 3 trials placed the country "in a better position to access vaccines" and to "verify their effectiveness in the national population." Clinical trials of the Sinopharm vaccine are currently underway at the Cayetano Heredia Peruvian University and the National University of San Marcos. According to Peru's National Institute of Health, which is overseeing the process, 11,000 volunteers have been vaccinated since the trials began in September. Peru has registered more than 1 million COVID-19 cases and over 37,000 deaths. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Lima. (XHTV)

Peru inks deals with Sinopharm, AstraZeneca for coronavirus vaccines -president

Date:JANUARY 6, 2021, FILE EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: PART VIDEO AS INCOMING Peruvian president Francisco Sagasti said on Wednesday (January 6) his interim administration had negotiated vaccine supply deals with Sinopharm Group and AstraZeneca Plc, boosting prospects for a vaccination program that has been slow to take root in the hard-hit Andean nation. Sagasti said in a televised speech that his government had secured one million vaccine doses from Sinopharm for delivery in January. He said the deal was part of a larger agreement to purchase 38 million doses from the Chinese company. Sagasti said he had also closed a deal on Wednesday for 14 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca with Oxford University. But that supply is not due to begin arriving in the South American nation until September. Peru has lagged behind some of its wealthier neighbours in efforts to ensure vaccines for its citizens amid a political crisis in 2020 that saw the ouster of one president and the resignation of another. Peru had previously announced a preliminary agreement with Pfizer Inc to buy 9.9 million doses of its vaccine, but the country's health minister on Tuesday (January 5) raised doubts about that deal. The country has also inked a deal to acquire an additional 13.2 million vaccine doses through the COVAX Facility, an alliance led by the World Health Organisation to ensure equitable distribution among less wealthy nations. COVID-19 cases have crept up following the end-of-year holidays, prompting a shortage of beds in critical care wards in Lima and across the country. The daily caseload in Peru remains at around 20% of its August peak, but authorities said more people have been hospitalized because many are waiting until symptoms are severe before getting tested.

Mexico to analyse suspending flights from UK due to coronavirus

Date:DECEMBER 21, 2020 Mexico will on Monday (December 21) analyse whether to suspend flights from the United Kingdom due to the discovery of a new strain of coronavirus there, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said. Speaking at a regular government news conference on Monday, Lopez Obrador said the health ministry would in the course of the day analyse the matter to see whether Mexico should follow other countries in suspending flights from Britain. This week, a number of European countries and Latin American nations like Argentina, Chile, and Peru have put a temporary stop to flights from Britain. It comes after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said last week that a new strain of the coronavirus had led to surging infection numbers, prompting countries worldwide to suspend flights to and from the United Kingdom. Mexico is among the countries worst affected by the virus. Its health ministry on Monday reported 5,370 new confirmed cases of coronavirus infection and 396 additional fatalities, bringing the total in the country to 1,325,915 cases and 118,598 deaths. The government says the real number of infected people is likely significantly higher than the confirmed cases.

Peru suspends flights to and from Europe due to new virus strain

Date:DECEMBER 21, 2020 Peru suspended flights from Europe for two weeks and has put its health and travel authorities on high alert to prevent the entry of a new strain of coronavirus that appeared in the United Kingdom, President Francisco Sagasti said on Monday (December 21). Sagasti said no direct flights from the United Kingdom had entered the country since December 15, when flights from Europe restarted. But health authorities were monitoring passengers from Britain who had entered through connecting flights, he said. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said last week that a new strain of the coronavirus had led to surging infection numbers, prompting countries worldwide to suspend flights to and from the United Kingdom. The announcement comes as hard-hit Peru nears one million cases of COVID-19, amid growing concerns over a second wave of the virus following the end-of-year holidays. In addition to suspending flights from the United Kingdom, Peru on Monday also prohibited the entry of non-resident foreigners who had been in the UK in the last two weeks. Peruvians or non-residents already in the country who had recently visited the United Kingdom will be required to spend 14 days in isolation. Coronavirus cases in Peru hit 997,517 on Sunday, with 37,103 deaths from the disease, according to official figures.

Marbles, gas and lead pellets: Peru protest deaths spotlight police violence

Date:DECEMBER 15, 2020, FILE EDITORS NOTE: CONTAINS GRAPHIC SHOTS OF A WOUNDED PROTESTER'S FACE AND THE REMOVAL OF A GLASS MARBLE FROM A PHOTOGRAPHER'S BACK Ruben Guevara was protesting in tear gas filled streets in Lima in November when he was hit in the face by a projectile he says felt like a gas canister. The impact left him bloodied with severe damage to his retina, and with permanent blurred vision. Guevara was one of millions of younger Peruvians who had taken to the streets amid political turmoil in the Andean nation to pressure then interim President Manuel Merino, who was forced to resign after two protesters were killed. The Andean nation has seen protests over the last month turn deadly turning the spotlight on excessive use of force by police. In November two young people were killed and many more injured marching against the interim government, and in December another person was killed during protests by farm workers. A Reuters investigation over the past month has documented that in addition to those killed, at least 20 demonstrators were shot in the Lima protest with lead pellets and glass marbles, according to medical records, interviews and information compiled by the local Human Rights Coordinator. Many of them, like Guevara, have life-lasting injuries. At least half a dozen remain hospitalized. Overall, an estimated 200 people were wounded, according to government statistics. The bloodshed in Lima and the farming protests has ignited a debate in the country about police use of excessive force and led to calls for an overhaul of the country's security forces ahead of Presidential elections in April. A number of senior police chiefs have been removed from their positions though there have been no formal charges. Meanwhile the interior minister responsible for police oversight resigned this month amid questions over security forces. Peru's police forces have denied responsibility for the violence, saying it only employed rubber bullets. Reuters TV footage filmed at the height of the protests in Lima showed no armed demonstrators. It did show police opening fire at crowds, and medical records show protests injured with lead pellets and glass marbles. Reuters footage also appeared to show police firing tear gas without verbal warnings, aiming canisters either at body-height or at the sky against best practice. At one point, police shot a dozen canisters in the span of 10 seconds, forcing protesters to turn political cardboard signs into makeshift shields. Guevara, who can now only see blurry images through his affected eye, said police fired tear gas canisters directly at panicked crowds. Others recounted similar experiences. Peru's worst police violence has historically taken place away from cities, where lower-income indigenous and mestizo Peruvians often have a harder time demanding accountability. Since 2003, only 2% of some 2,300 allegedly injured by police were in Lima, according to the Human Rights Coordinator. But human rights advocates say police forces have been emboldened recently by a new "Police Protection Law" passed in the early days of the pandemic that backs officers who shoot while on duty.

Days later, he purged 18 senior police officials. Sagasti has stopped short of endorsing a full-fledged police reform, but acknowledged change is necessary. Alonso Chero, a photographer for major daily El Comercio, was covering the protests last month in Lima when, he said, officers began firing. As he crouched and ran toward the protesters for safety - his back facing a line of police officers - he felt the impact of a shot in his back. At least 35 journalists were injured, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, including a Reuters photographer who was superficially hit with a pellet. Other protesters remain hospitalized almost a month after being injured, Reuters found. (Production: Carlos Valdez, Patrick Alwine) (Caption:5056LA-PERU-POLITICS_POLICE_O_)

Guevara was one of millions of younger Peruvians who had taken to the streets amid political turmoil in the Andean nation to pressure then interim President Manuel Merino, who was forced to resign after two protesters were killed. The Andean nation has seen protests over the last month turn deadly turning the spotlight on excessive use of force by police. In November two young people were killed and many more injured marching against the interim government, and in December another person was killed during protests by farm workers. A Reuters investigation over the past month has documented that in addition to those killed, at least 20 demonstrators were shot in the Lima protest with lead pellets and glass marbles, according to medical records, interviews and information compiled by the local Human Rights Coordinator. Many of them, like Guevara, have life-lasting injuries. At least half a dozen remain hospitalized. Overall, an estimated 200 people were wounded, according to government statistics. The bloodshed in Lima and the farming protests has ignited a debate in the country about police use of excessive force and led to calls for an overhaul of the country's security forces ahead of Presidential elections in April. A number of senior police chiefs have been removed from their positions though there have been no formal charges. Meanwhile the interior minister responsible for police oversight resigned this month amid questions over security forces. Peru's police forces have denied responsibility for the violence, saying it only employed rubber bullets. Reuters TV footage filmed at the height of the protests in Lima showed no armed demonstrators. It did show police opening fire at crowds, and medical records show protests injured with lead pellets and glass marbles. Reuters footage also appeared to show police firing tear gas without verbal warnings, aiming canisters either at body-height or at the sky against best practice. At one point, police shot a dozen canisters in the span of 10 seconds, forcing protesters to turn political cardboard signs into makeshift shields. Guevara, who can now only see blurry images through his affected eye, said police fired tear gas canisters directly at panicked crowds. Others recounted similar experiences. Peru's worst police violence has historically taken place away from cities, where lower-income indigenous and mestizo Peruvians often have a harder time demanding accountability. Since 2003, only 2% of some 2,300 allegedly injured by police were in Lima, according to the Human Rights Coordinator. But human rights advocates say police forces have been emboldened recently by a new "Police Protection Law" passed in the early days of the pandemic that backs officers who shoot while on duty. New interim president Francisco Sagasti, a centrist who replaced Merino, vowed there would be "no impunity" for violent police officers and lauded protesters in his inaugural speech. Days later, he purged 18 senior police officials. Sagasti has stopped short of endorsing a full-fledged police reform, but acknowledged change is necessary. Alonso Chero, a photographer for major daily El Comercio, was covering the protests last month in Lima when, he said, officers began firing. As he crouched and ran toward the protesters for safety - his back facing a line of police officers - he felt the impact of a shot in his back. At least 35 journalists were injured, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, including a Reuters photographer who was superficially hit with a pellet. Other protesters remain hospitalized almost a month after being injured, Reuters found. (Production: Carlos Valdez, Patrick Alwine) (Caption:5056LA-PERU-POLITICS_POLICE_O_)

Pacific Alliance hopeful of Covid-19 vaccine boost to economies in 2021

Date:DECEMBER 11, 2020 Pacific Alliance member states met in Santiago and virtually on Friday (December 11), expressing optimism that 2021 could see a sharp rebound in economic growth as the coronavirus vaccine gets rolled out across the region. Leaders and officials from Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru attended the 15th Pacific Alliance Summit which saw Singapore and Ecuador enter the group of nations as an associate member. The Pacific Alliance has 210 million people, the majority of them young, and their combined economies make 35 percent of Latin America gross domestic product. But in 2020, Alliance economies have been hit hard by the pandemic. Mexico's economy could contract as much as 13% this year, its central bank has warned. Likewise, Chile, Colombia and Peru have seen significant contractions in commercial activity. Pinera and Duque expressed hope that the vaccine will stimulate economies. Millions in Latin America's middle classes are being dragged back into poverty as COVID-19 has exposed the fragility of welfare nets and governments' lack of financial firepower.

Peruvians demand change to constitution, President picks new Cabinet to ease protests

Date:NOVEMBER 18, 2020 Hundreds of people took to the streets of Lima on Wednesday (November 18) to demand constitutional reform as the Andean country seeks to leave behind a crisis that was exacerbated by strong protests against the political class. Protesters, mostly members of trade unions, said the country needs a new constitution because of serious corruption cases that have implicated members of the judiciary and political class. Meanwhile, Peru's new President Francisco Sagasti unveiled his cabinet on Wednesday, appointing a constitutional lawyer to be prime minister. The new government was formed a day after liberal centrist Sagasti was sworn into office after a tumultuous week that saw the departure of two presidents and marches in the street that were marred by the deaths of two young protesters. Sagasti appointed Violeta Bermudez, a legal expert on vulnerable populations and gender politics, to head the cabinet of 18 ministers, with Waldo Mendoza, an economist with a background in tax oversight, to oversee the economy portfolio. The appointment of Sagasti, after his conservative predecessor Manuel Merino resigned on Sunday (November 15) has helped calm protests and ease jittery markets.

Peru's new president sworn in, calls for calm after week of protests

Date:NOVEMBER 17, 2020 Peruvian lawmaker Francisco Sagasti was sworn in as interim president on Tuesday (November 17), voted for by Congress in an effort to return stability to a country that has seen deadly protests and the departure of two presidents over the last week. Sagasti, a legislator from the centrist Purple Party, is expected to serve out his term until July next year, with a new presidential election scheduled for April 11. The Andean nation has been shaken since the abrupt ouster in an impeachment trial of popular leader Martin Vizcarra on Nov. 9. The removal of Vizcarra, whose anti-graft agenda had caused tensions with Congress, triggered often violent protests in which two young people died. Vizcarra's successor, Manuel Merino, resigned on Sunday (November 15) after just five days in power. Sagasti's appointment has indeed appeared to calm tensions, though a deep mistrust of the country's politicians remains. On Monday night (November 16), hundreds of people marched in the capital Lima, with calls for a new constitution and "justice for the fallen." Sagasti, 76, an engineer and former World Bank official, has yet to name his cabinet, but has said he is open to including ministers from Vizcarra's government, which could open the door to the return of star economy minister, María Antonieta Alva. Sagasti is Peru's fourth president in less than three years, after the departures of Vizcarra and Merino, and the resignation of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in 2018 on allegations of corruption. Peru's sol currency reacted positively to the news, rising around 1.75% on Tuesday, its biggest daily rise in seven months. The country's sovereign bonds also edged up.

The removal of Vizcarra, whose anti-graft agenda had caused tensions with Congress, triggered often violent protests in which two young people died. Vizcarra's successor, Manuel Merino, resigned on Sunday (November 15) after just five days in power. Sagasti's appointment has indeed appeared to calm tensions, though a deep mistrust of the country's politicians remains. On Monday night (November 16), hundreds of people marched in the capital Lima, with calls for a new constitution and "justice for the fallen." Sagasti, 76, an engineer and former World Bank official, has yet to name his cabinet, but has said he is open to including ministers from Vizcarra's government, which could open the door to the return of star economy minister, María Antonieta Alva. Sagasti is Peru's fourth president in less than three years, after the departures of Vizcarra and Merino, and the resignation of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski in 2018 on allegations of corruption. Peru's sol currency reacted positively to the news, rising around 1.75% on Tuesday, its biggest daily rise in seven months. The country's sovereign bonds also edged up. Peru, the world's no. 2 producer of copper, has been hit hard this year with one of the world's deadliest per capita outbreaks of COVID-19, and is expected to post its worst annual economic contraction in a century.

Peru's third president in a week, a 76-year-old industrial engineer, takes power

Date:NOVEMBER 16, 2020, FILE Francisco Sagasti, a 76-year-old industrial engineer, took the reins of Peru a few months after entering politics as a legislator in Congress, in a job where he could channel his extensive academic and life experience. Sagasti, who was sworn in by Congress, will face the task of not only defusing the political crisis the country finds itself in with strong protests but also of directing a transition of power next year. The legislator of the centrist Purple Party must complete the government mandate that ends in July 2021 and includes the general elections on April 11. Sagasti, who became the third president of Peru in eight days after a convulsed week of protests, has an extensive curriculum with studies in industrial engineering from the Peruvian National University of Engineering and a master's and doctorate from Pennsylvania University. He has also been a consultant for international organizations on science and technology issues such as the World Bank and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC) and the Organization of American States (OAS). Sagasti was one of the hundreds of hostages of the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) at the residence of the Japanese embassy in Lima in 1996. Many criticised that during the kidnapping, Sagasti established a rapprochement with his captors and that he even asked for an "autograph" from one of the leaders of the rebel group. Sagasti has not denied the fact, but explained that it was in a different context before he was released and without imagining that the rebels were going to hold 72 hostages for 126 days. The childhood of the now president, who lived in one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Lima, also marked his life. "I learned what a vocation of service is," he said in a video that Sagasti himself prepared a few years ago to review his life. In his first act as the appointed new president, Sagasti left Congress and approached dozens of people who were waiting outside, raising his hand. He was applauded by the protesters. The appointment of Sagasti could be viewed favourably by the Peruvian youth, who led the baton in recent protests showing disgust for traditional politicians. However, distrust of politicians still persists in a country that in the last two decades saw three former presidents parade to pretrial detention and another to suicide. Sagasti, a classical music lover and composer, also has vast experience in academic institutions and founded four decades ago the Group for Analysis for Development (GRADE), one of the most respected institutions in Peru.

Tensions run high after Peru names third president in a week

Date:NOVEMBER 16, 2020 Peru's Congress on Monday (November 16) chose legislator Francisco Sagasti as the Andean country's caretaker president, in an attempt to defuse a sharp political crisis after angry protests and the departure of two presidents in the past week. Sagasti, 76, from the centrist Morado Party, won enough votes to head Congress, which means he will constitutionally assume the presidency of Peru ahead of national elections called for April. The move makes Sagasti Peru's third president in a week, after interim leader Manuel Merino resigned on Sunday (November 15), five days after being sworn in following the ousting of centrist Martin Vizcarra. The removal of Vizcarra, who was popular with many Peruvians but angered lawmakers with his push for anti-corruption measures and attempts to curb parliamentary immunity, sparked days of protests that led to the deaths of two men. "Today is not a day of celebration," Sagasti said, striking a sombre tone in his first words after taking office in Congress. "We cannot go back, bring them back to life, but we can take action from Congress, from the Executive, so that this does not happen again." Sagasti, a former World Bank official and engineer, faces a formidable challenge to bring stability to the world's no. 2 copper producer, which was already hard hit by COVID-19 and heading for its worst economic contraction in a century. Shortly after the vote, Sagasti stepped outside the Congress building, raising his hand to the cheers of onlookers. Some greeted his election with jubilee while others hit out at politicking in Congress. Though the vote appeared to defuse tensions, underlying anger at police and elected lawmakers continues to simmer. Sagasti, who received 97 votes in favour with 26 against, is set to complete the current government's mandate that ends in July 2021 and will include the holding of general elections on April 11. The recent crisis started when Vizcarra, an independent who has long clashed with Congress over his anti-corruption stance, was impeached and removed from office by lawmakers last week over allegations of graft, which he denies. Merino, who as president of the Congress led the impeachments, succeeded Vizcarra. But he resigned after the protests escalated and as lawmakers threatened to impeach him unless he stood down.

Merino resigns as president of Peru amid widespread protests

Peruvian President Manuel Merino presented his resignation on Sunday amid protests that broke out across the country after he assumed the presidency on Tuesday, following the removal of former President Martin Vizcarra. "I want to inform the entire country that I presented my irrevocable resignation to the positon of the President of the Republic and I invoke peace and unity of all Peruvians," Merino said in a televised address to the nation. He made the announcement after the Peruvian Congress held a crisis session on Sunday and asked him to resign amid the social protests, which have left at least two people dead, according to local media reports. "Nothing justifies that a legitimate protest should trigger the deaths of Peruvians," Merino said, adding that "these events should be thoroughly investigated by the corresponding authorities to determine all responsibilities." "My commitment is to Peru and I will do my best to guarantee the constitutional succession that Congress determines," he said. Merino became the third president of Peru to serve during the 2016-2021 presidential term, following Pedro Pablo Kuczynski and Martin Vizcarra. Prior to Merino's announcement, Luis Valdez, Peru's president of Congress, announced that the Legislative Board of Directors would be renewed to begin the process of choosing a new president. Members of the Purple Party, who largely voted against Vizcarra's removal, presented a proposal to return Vizcarra to office. "Mr. Vizcarra and his cabinet will resume their positions immediately to continue with the efforts against the pandemic and the economic crisis. We Peruvians cannot wait," the party's proposal stated. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Lima. (XHTV)

Peru erupts in celebrations after interim president resigns

Date:NOVEMBER 15, 2020 Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Lima on Sunday (November 15) to celebrate the resignation of Peru's interim president, Manuel Merino. Merino resigned on Sunday after the country's political parties demanded he step down or face impeachment following the deaths of two people in protests over the sudden ouster of his predecessor. Merino had been in office for less than a week, after Peru's Congress voted last Monday to remove Martin Vizcarra as president over bribery allegations, which he denies. Neither Merino nor Luis Valdez, head of the Congress, said who would now be named as president. Peruvians poured onto the streets to celebrate Merino's resignation, waving flags, chanting and banging pots. But the announcement nonetheless plunges Peru deeper into uncertainty and legal disarray as lawmakers wrestle with who will take his place. Thousands in Peru had staged some of the country's largest protests in decades - mostly peaceful but increasingly marred by clashes - since Congress voted to remove Vizcarra as president.

Night of violent protests rocks Peru's new government

Date:NOVEMBER 15, 2020 Peru's interim president, Manuel Merino, came under growing pressure on Sunday (November 15) to resign after more than half his new cabinet stepped down following the deaths of two people in protests over the sudden ouster of his predecessor. Thousands of Peruvians have staged some of the country's largest protests in decades - mostly peaceful but increasingly marred by clashes - since the Congress voted last Monday (November 9) to remove Martin Vizcarra as president over bribery allegations, which he denies. The political shakeup has come as Peru, the world's No. 2 copper producer, battles the coronavirus pandemic and what is expected to be its worst economic contraction in a century. Protesters filled plazas in downtown Lima late on Saturday (November 14), with demonstrations beginning peacefully but growing more intense by nightfall. Two young protesters were killed in clashes, the public ombudsman said. Peru's state medical program, EsSalud, confirmed in a statement that two young men had died from gunshot wounds. Peru's National Human Rights coordinator said 102 people were injured and at least 41 were missing. The Health Ministry said separately that 63 people were hospitalised after suffering injuries or inhaling tear gas. At least nine had gunshot wounds, officials said. After the violence, 11 of 18 Cabinet ministers, who had been sworn in on Thursday (November 12), announced their resignations. Calls grew for the departure of Merino, the former head of Congress who had led the push to impeach Vizcarra and who took over last Tuesday. The national assembly of Peru's regional governments also released a statement demanding Merino's resignation, saying he was "politically responsible for the acts of violence." Merino, a member of the centre-right Popular Action party, has called for calm and promised to stick with a plan for new presidential elections in April. Vizcarra, a politically unaffiliated centrist who is popular with Peruvians, oversaw an anti-graft campaign that led to frequent clashes with Congress in a country that has a history of political upheaval and corruption. The former president has yet to be found guilty of the corruption charges brought against him during the impeachment hearing prior to his ouster.

Peru's ex-President Vizcarra barred from leaving country

Peru's ex-President Martin Vizcarra, who was impeached earlier this week, was barred on Friday from leaving the country for 18 months, as prosecutors investigate allegations that he accepted bribes when he was governor of the southern department of Moquegua (2011-2014). His ban on travel abroad will be in effect until May 12, 2022. At a hearing on the measure, judge Maria Alvarez defended the decision, saying Vizcarra posed a flight risk because he "has enough income to leave the country." Vizcarra's lawyer, Fernando Ugaz, questioned the move, noting that immediately after being stripped of office, his client placed his biometric and diplomatic passports at the disposition of the Prosecutor's Office to show his willingness to cooperate with the investigation. It was a "symbolic" step to make it clear "that we do not want to have an obstructionist attitude or impede" the investigation, said Ugaz. Vizcarra is accused of accepting 2.3 million soles (about 655,000 U.S. dollars) from two consortiums in exchange for public works contracts in Moquegua, and was impeached by Congress on Monday.

Peru protests rage as interim president calls for calm

Date:NOVEMBER 12, 2020 Police and protesters clashed and tear gas flooded Lima's streets on Thursday (November 12) amid a wave of demonstrations that have escalated around the country since the abrupt ouster of former leader Martin Vizcarra. Crowds have gathered in the streets for days to protest the Congress vote, with dozens of demonstrators detained after clashes with police. On Thursday night thousands took to the streets in Lima, banging pots and carrying banners to protest against the new government. Later in the evening, violent scuffles broke out between police in riot gear and protesters who traded blows. The Organization of American States (OAS) expressed concern on Wednesday (November 11) over the "new political crisis in Peru," urging the country's Constitutional Court to weigh in. Vizcarra, arriving at a prosecutor's office that is investigating him, said that protests reflected people's dissatisfaction with the situation. Meanwhile, Peruvian interim President Manuel Merino called for calm as he swore in his new cabinet on Thursday. Merino, whose cabinet was filled with mostly technocrats, accused some critics planning to run in 2021 elections of inciting protests that have broken out in Lima and other cities and urged Peruvians to maintain peace. "We call for calm and responsibility," Merino said in a speech after the swearing-in of his cabinet of 18 officials. Merino assumed office on Tuesday (November 10) after the Andean nation's fractured Congress voted to oust Vizcarra over bribery allegations. The political shakeup comes as Peru, pummelled by the coronavirus pandemic, is bracing for its worst economic contraction in a century.

Former Bolivian president Evo Morales diagnosed with coronavirus

Date:JANUARY 13, 2021, JANUARY 14, 2021, FILE Former Bolivian President Evo Morales tested positive for the coronavirus and is getting treatment to combat symptoms, according to a statement issued by his office late on Thursday (January 14). "He is currently stable and is receiving medical attention," the statement said, without providing details on his symptoms. Last week, 61-year old Morales participated in group meetings with coca growers in Cochabamba in the central part of the country. The critical-care wards of major hospitals in Bolivia and neighbouring Peru have been near collapse after the end-of-year holidays, reflecting regional health concerns as much of Latin America struggles to secure adequate COVID-19 vaccine supplies. While daily cases remain below last year's peak, depleted resources, weary medical workers and a recent rush of severe cases are taxing already ailing healthcare systems from Chile to Mexico, officials say. Bolivia has had 176,761 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 9,454 deaths. (Production: Sergio Limachi, Monica Machicao, Geraldine Downer) (Caption:4224LA-HEALTH-CORONAVIRUS_BOLIVIA_MORALES_O_)

Tempers flare as angry protesters march against Vizcarra's impeachment

Date:NOVEMBER 11, 2020 Anger boiled over the streets of Lima on Wednesday (November 11) after the head of Peru's Congress, Manuel Merino, was sworn in as the Andean nation's president following the impeachment of former president Martin Vizcarra. Protesters faced off with police, accusing lawmakers of hijacking the presidency and plunging the country back into crisis amid the pandemic and a flailing economy. Merino, a businessman and member of the centre-right Popular Action party, will serve as interim president until July, following the already-scheduled April 11 elections. Merino's ascension to the presidency came a day after Peru's opposition-led Congress voted overwhelmingly to oust the centrist Vizcarra late on Monday (November 09) after an impeachment trial over allegations of bribery, the second such trial he faced in two months.

Protesters clash with police after Merino sworn in as president

Date:NOVEMBER 10, 2020 Violent clashes between protesters and police broke out in Lima on Tuesday (November 10) after the head of Peru's Congress, Manuel Merino, was sworn in as the Andean nation's president. Merino vowed that elections set for April would stand after lawmakers removed Martin Vizcarra on corruption charges. Several protests involving hundreds of people continued in cities throughout the country in support of Vizcarra. In downtown Lima, the capital, police fired tear gas at protesters who waved banners and signs and demanded Vizcarra's return. Dozens of protesters were seen being arrested.

Head of Peru's Congress assumes presidency, protests flare

Date:NOVEMBER 10, 2020 The head of Peru's Congress, Manuel Merino, was sworn in as the Andean nation's president on Tuesday (November 10) and vowed that elections set for April would stand after lawmakers removed Martin Vizcarra on corruption charges. Merino, a businessman and member of the centre-right Popular Action party, will serve as interim president until July, following the already-scheduled April 11 elections. In a speech after the swearing-in ceremony, Merino, 59, sought to temper widespread concerns of pending political chaos in the world's No. 2 copper producer, promising an orderly transition and elections. "There is nothing to celebrate here, this is a difficult moment for the country," Merino told Peruvians. "Our first commitment before the country is to confirm our democratic convictions, and our respect for the election timetable." Merino's ascension to the presidency comes the day after Peru's opposition-led Congress voted overwhelmingly to oust the centrist Vizcarra late on Monday (November 9) after an impeachment trial over allegations of bribery, the second such trial he has faced in two months. Vizcarra's abrupt removal means he joins a long list of Peruvian politicians ensnared in allegations of corruption, piling a political crisis atop the economic recession induced by the coronavirus pandemic. The former president, an anti-corruption crusader, continued to question Congress' decision to oust him on Tuesday, telling reporters that Merino's government "raised concerns" because it lacked legitimacy. Several protests involving hundreds of people continued in cities throughout the country in support of Vizcarra. In downtown Lima, the capital, police fired tear gas at protesters who waved banners and signs and demanded Vizcarra's return.
