		</div><p>Peru’s newest president, Dina Boluarte gave in to protesters’ demands early on Monday, announcing in a nationally televised address that she will send Congress a proposal to move up elections.</p>
<p>Ms Boluarte’s decision came after thousands of demonstrators took to the streets around Peru for another day on Sunday to demand that she resign and schedule elections to replace her and Congress.</p>
<p>The protests turned deadly, with at least two reported deaths in a remote community in the Andes, according to officials.</p>
<p>Ms Boluarte said she will propose the scheduling of general elections for April 2024.</p>
<p>Many of those demonstrating in the ongoing political crisis are demanding the release from custody of Pedro Castillo, the centre-left president ousted on Wednesday by politicians after he sought to dissolve Congress ahead of an impeachment vote.</p>
<p>Hundreds of people also protested in Lima, the capital, where riot police used tear gas to push protesters back.</p>
<p>The protests rocking Peru heated up particularly in rural areas, strongholds for Castillo, a former schoolteacher and political newcomer from a poor Andean mountain district.</p>
<p>Protesters set fire to a police station, vandalised a small airport used by the armed forces, and marched in the streets.</p>
<p>Anthony Gutierrez, director of a local hospital, told a radio station that the second protester to die was an 18-year-old person. At least 26 people have also been reported injured.</p>
<p>Ms Boluarte, 60, was swiftly sworn in midweek to replace Mr Castillo, hours after he stunned the country by ordering the dissolution of Congress, which in turn dismissed him for “permanent moral incapacity”.</p>
<p>Mr Castillo was arrested on charges of rebellion.</p>
<p>Mr Castillo’s failed move against the opposition-led Congress came hours before politicians were set to start a third impeachment attempt against him.</p>
<p>Scattered protests around the country have continued for days.</p>
