    “Everyone must go!” protesters chanted when they reached congress

    Proper journalism would try harder to explain the protestors demands. You really should heed thrm after they ousted one president just a week ago.

      Boluarte faced widespread protests after she assumed power in late 2022, leading to dozens of deaths and a plunge in her popularity levels, which oscillated between 2% and 4% in the days leading up to her ouster. Congress – which was headed by Jerí before he became president – is almost equally unpopular, with a single-digit approval rating.

      It’s in there, last two paragraphs. The new president is just an updated version of the old one, with his own major corruption accusations:

      Jerí, 38, has promised to make crime his top priority but has faced a number of scandals, including corruption allegations and a now-shelved investigation for sexual assault. Jerí has denied wrongdoing in both cases and expressed willingness to cooperate with any corruption investigation.

      Proper journalism

      Never heard of proper journalism… But it’s completely normal for imperial journalism to run cover for fascists.

      This is exactly the case. They want the corrupt congress gone. The current president has proposed better legislation, but congress already tried to get rid of him again.
