Episode notes

The protesters have a host of demands up to the resignation of Prouh's new president. So publicly, Dina Boluarte has been insisting that she is not resigning. There are reports that privately she's been very personally shaken by the death toll and really doesn't want that on her on her record.

Dozens have died in anti-government protests in Peru. Journalist Simeon Tegel reports from Lima on how the mounting anger over corruption and inequality has implications for the entire hemisphere.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
