Young Peruvians clash with police in anti-government protests

Young Peruvians clashed with police during anti-government protests in Lima over the weekend. Dubbed the "Gen Z march," the demonstrations saw at least 18 protesters injured while police also faced resistance, with one officer suffering burns. The unrest was fueled by anger over corruption scandals, insecurity, and a recent pension reform, highlighting widespread discontent with President Dina Boluarte's administration. Transport workers also joined the protests, criticizing the government for failing to address extortion issues affecting their livelihoods, with some accusing the police of negligence in combating criminal activities.
