On July 28th, Perú celebrated its 204th anniversary of the independence of Peru from Spanish colonial rule. Inside Congress, the most unpopular president in the world, Dina Boluarte, gave a five-hour-long speech in which she claimed, among other things, to launch an array of infrastructural projects to boost the economy.  The scenes outside were a vastly different world. Protestors, delegations of farmworkers and families of martyrs and victims from the south, organizations representing neighborhood unions and others gathered in the center of the city to hear the message of ousted President Pedro Castillo, from the Penal Barbadillo prison, where he is a political prisoner held under pre-trial detention since December 7, 2022.
