One person was killed and more than 100 others injured in violent anti-government protests led by the \u2018Generation Z\u2019 in Peru. The Peruvian government on Saturday (October 18) dismissed the police chief of the capital Lima following the violent protests.
\nGeneral Enrique Felipe Monroy has been suspended pending the results of an investigation into last Wednesday\u2019s protests, organized by the youth organization Generation Z. One protester was killed by police fire during the violent protests. Monroy had been Lima\u2019s police chief since January 2024.
\nNational Police Commander Oscar Areola, who is in charge of the Interior Ministry, announced the dismissal of Monroy and replaced him with General Manuel Vidarte.
\nLima has been rocked by weeks of protests over corruption and a failure to tackle a wave of contract killings and extortion. Last week, Congress impeached the country’s deeply unpopular former president, Dina Boluarte, for failing to tackle violent crime. Parliament Speaker Jos\u00e9 Jeri will serve as interim president until a new president is elected in elections to be held in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
