Protesters Demonstrate in Lima Ahead of Presidential Runoff
Demonstrators took to the streets of Lima ahead of Peru’s presidential runoff, with accounts differing on the scale and focus of the protests.
Hundreds of demonstrators marched through Lima on Saturday to protest against Keiko Fujimori’s candidacy and her family's political dynasty, according to France24. Another report from Al Jazeera stated that thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Lima to protest the presidential bid of Keiko Fujimori. Accounts differ on the estimated number of participants and the specificity of the protest focus, with one source citing 'thousands' and a focus on Fujimori’s presidential bid, while another cites 'hundreds' and a broader critique of her family's political dynasty. Protesters expressed concern that Keiko Fujimori would continue her father’s regime if elected. Keiko Fujimori came out on top in the first round of the presidential election and will face left-wing candidate Roberto Sánchez in the second round on June 7, according to France24.
