James ChappleBrits in Peru have been warned to avoid protests after the country’s president Pedro Castillo was ousted on Wednesday (7 December).
Castillo has been replaced by the country’s first female president, Dina Boluarte, after Castillo was impeached.
"On 7 December 2022, the Peruvian president announced the closure of congress, the establishment of an exemption government, and a state of emergency," said the Foreign Office.
"The president was then impeached and replaced by a new president. It is a fast-moving situation and protests are likely. You should follow the authorities’ advice and monitor local media closely. Avoid large gatherings and protests."
