#NBCNews #Peru #Protest
100s of thousands from Peru coming to USA
By end of year
Ya make it sound that’s a bad thing. Worry more in the Mexican border
they aren’t fleeing their oppressors. They are facing them head on ya coward. You’re so full of hatred you can’t even see that. You’re so coward & intimidated by the Peruvians in their own country? That you’re trying to create a narrative for your cowardice? 🤣
@The Infamous Culebra
USA has drought issues, population instabilities, crazy inflation, violence, etc… so it is a big deal if more ppl forcefully comes to the USA.
This is the world we live in…
Only going to get worse, for sure.
Since Covid last 3 years and yes it will get worse 🤞🏾
.. and these are the hands we’re given..
@Troll yeap
Nuclear war is coming soon enough, this will also be the world we all die in…
See what Trump started!!
Trump is the lamb 🐑 of Christ the messiah
@Troll go back to the rubber room !!!!!
@Troll 😂😂
@Troll OK, Qultist!
Trump didn’t start anything, only in the feeble minds of those unable to think for themselves.
No, in Peru a Far Leftist Socialist was ousted from office after a major power grab and those that can’t think for themselves along with those willing to commit violence on behalf of Marxism are causing bloodshed for their Leftist ideology. The Right doesn’t behave this way, ONLY the Left behaves this way AND thinks the way you do…..i.e. “See what Trump started”. Ok sheep.
new elections now!!!!!!!!!!!!
A American playbook.
Where is the love?
About out to our America for still conquering social countries
The Peruvian ppl will win N the end ❗️
6 presidents in two terms ya calling for more elections so everyone can rule for a year and a half at best before being tossed out to the mob
Give the Peruvian people FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS!
I agree, but you cannot give them elections tomorrow as there is no one running for office. Replacing the President and all of Congress with legitimate elections takes time. And if it’s rushed we will just be back in the same place in a few years.
But what the police and military are doing to people is completely unacceptable. I live in Peru, and I am worried there may be a civil war this year.
Free yes, fair, not so much, come on now, what fairytale world do u live in lol
Election has been moved two years earlier so instead of 2026, it will be done early quarter next year. You cannot just hold elections tomorrow or next month. They are protesting for the dissolution of Congress, but arent they the one who voted these representatives. Protesters don’t havea legitimate issue to protest except their fanaticism to previous President.
All these protestors are communists agitators.
America NEXT
This is why I hate police officers
We have a voice in America too
😟
As governments will fall in this last time period of the world…
Lets be clear about what is happening here: Protestors WANTED the coup. They WANT a leftist, communist dictator. They can all rot.
I wonder if they would be so violent if it were a male leader. Is this sexism?
@Viver em Londres it’s not even about that it’s a long issue that the indigenous communities and the mestizos have had since colonization. Lots of racism and hate on the indigenous because they won’t modernize. And a lot resentment towards those communities because the terrorism and murders they caused.
They been doing this for few years already ..people aren’t happy with anyone apparently. I get it the gov. Is corrupted but Peru isn’t in a good place to play with economy and that’s exactly what they are doing right now🤦
Get inform! Dina B has her own agenda and is supported by previous corrupted government!!!
@Ana M but it is about corruption bro. Congress is controlled by the oligarchs and Congress has done this before. remember Martin vizcarra. Congress removed him for “corruption” despite having zero evidence against him. Castillo was constantly being accused of corruption by Congress despite the majority of Congress members being crooked themselves.
@MPGrev there has always been corruption in Peru especially in the government it’s a normal thing. Remember when the congress was destroyed for a couple of years during Fujimori? This is a normal thing that is kinda part of the Peruvian government
Savages !!
This is heart breaking. Do you see now how stupid it is to compare Jan 6 with the attempted coup of presidente pedro castillo?
No.
corruption? police brutality could be?
Wait, so these dummies are protesting the fact that a corrupt president was arrested? LOL
Dont stop you end up in jail.
I remember when, not so long ago, feminists often argued that if more women were put into positions of leadership, there’d be fewer wars and less violence. They claimed that women are inherently more gentle and nurturing than men because they give birth and are usually the primary caregivers of children. I guess we can kiss that theory goodbye…
And you want to bring them to the USA so sad a men
Yes bring them all! Make America Brown again! Go Brownden
SHOULD HAPPEND IN SWEDEN
police is not a people . remember it .
San Martín de Porres/Lima 🌹, ruegan por vosotros los pecadores
Awful world prayers for people Peru🙏🙏🌹
I tell you once you start using slingshots, the gloves come off.
Did you ever stop and think why are they using slingshots?
@Shae because thats all they can afford?
@hugo because they don’t have a 2A that allows them to be armed easily, a constant lesson anti 2A people fail to understand.
@hugo maybe they’re tired of cops that are using excessive force to serve a government that does not care about the people. Thanks for the blockhead take anyways though Hugo .
@hugo Gun ban.
NBC in defense of communism at all times.
The comments on this video really show the general ignorance of American people. I am American. I live in Perú. What is going on here is much more complicated than what the English language media is presenting. There is a mafia for whom Castillo was working. Boluarte is just the leader now so they blame her. The murdering police in Puno represent the interest of the illegal mining that’s been dominating the whole economy of Puno for about 40 years. The police aren’t working for the president, they’re working for the mafia that wants to sell its illegally-obtained metals in Bolivia. There is also an interest in destabilizing the governments of South America overall for an overtake in the form of a singular or unionized governmental system akin to that of the European Union (which would better facilitate the illegal trafficking). But hey, this news source is not the one sanctioned from the Peruvian Congress in their press briefings, so it’s never going to be in the mainstream media. The protests are NOT about freeing Castillo except for a small sector of his personal associates in Lima. The protests are because the Peruvian people have been extremely frustrated for a very long time with the extensive corruption throughout the entire system and in the unfair distribution of resources throughout the entire country. It absolutely did not start with the detention of Castillo. They were protesting in the region of Cusco (i.e. intermittently blockading the train to Machu Picchu and the roadways in the Sacred Valley) ALL of last year. Another thing to realize is that, as I had mentioned earlier, there are competing interests operating here – and some of them are simply interested in destabilizing the government for their own gains (i.e. illegal trafficking of drugs or metals). Many protestors are paid. They may not personally recognize the goals of who’s paying them, but that’s not the point. The point is that there are more reasons these protests are happening than merely that Castillo is detained or the violence of the police. The Peruvian people are demanding new elections and a new constitution. But there aren’t clearly specified directives because (1) destabilization is a main goal of the organized crime syndicates involved and (2) new elections don’t mean good people will be candidates and no one has written a new constitution. These protests are expressing an angst that has been present in Perú for decades. But without any bribery-free political morality appearing spontaneously or any truly new and virtuous government coming into existence, it’s just not likely the protests will end anytime soon. They just wax and wane in intensity, and it’s been a helluva lot more and more intense lately.
Killer dina!!!! Dictadora!!!
Viva seviches, viva the alpacas 🦙, viva Peru 🇵🇪
Bunch of terroristas.
The new government expulsed the Mexican ambassador because they told them to take a chill pill and talk it out. Lima told Mexico to snuff it.
With this biased report, NBC News is lionizing terrorists.
Looks like they using the Trump

The Peruvian teens killed were students exercising their constitutional rights!This remains me of the Kent State shootings on 1970.😢
The parents of these teens also killed thousands of people during the 80s and 90s the time of terrorism. Look up the shining path , the Tupac Amaru movement and then the events at the Japanese embassy. I feel like this is just going to end up like it did then and those communities will just end up getting bombed
They were victims of agitators working for evo morales and communist partisans, this insurgency was planned months ago
They government should be held accountable for those crimes.
Cuando el ex primer ministro peruano Aníbal Torres le gritó a la periodista Sol Carreño diciéndole; “Eres una periodista vendida que defiendes los intereses de las delincuenciales mafias con fachadas de partidos políticos de derecha”
Esto fue la causa y motivo para que la Casa Blanca através de su portavoz lanzara el grito al cielo diciendo que; Esto es un atentado a la libertad de expresión en el Perú.
Hasta ahora ya suman más de 45 indígenas peruanos muertos durante las manifestaciones y entre ellos dos menores de edad de 15 y 16 años y la Casa Blanca, ni la OEA, ni ONU y ningún organismo de derechos humanos dicen nada.

look at all the patriarchy hahahaha
Just wait til this type of stuff hits America. Might be over an election, corruption, inflation, or whatever it is. Just wait til it hits here.
USA nato is killing poor black people all over the world
Why do Peruvians are fighting for un qualify president!???? This have to stop!. The president of peru did auto golpe, He did this knowing what was coming up, the community have to know that what they doing now is not worth it at least that’s what I think they should find a solution, this is turn into a Civil War
Please do not be fooled by these violent puppets manipulated by extremist leaders related to former President Pedro Castillo, who is a criminal, as he could not manage to turn Peru into another Venezuela despite being in the government now dealing with the use of the violence and destruction making chaos in our beloved Peru. Dina Boluarte is trying to bring order to Peru. What many men like presidents of Peru did not do, Dina Boluarte is far better than the inept thief Castillo.
That woman is a monster
Aprendan de colombia… no logramos nada solo muertes y in reporte de los derechos humanos 🤷♀️
These people are terrorists, they are posing as townspeople, the whole city has been destroyed.
and stealing
Dina B. and her abusive partners are killing Peruvian people. You are killers.
En Costa, Sierra y Selva el pueblo está luchando.
President Boluarte is from the south, woman and quechua-speaker BTW.
Shinedown- Lost In The Crowd
Human life is cheap in poor countries.
100% same in india or subcontinent
Dang, USA 2024 election results are going to be way more insane if Brazil and Peru are this bad about their election results.
I can’t wait trump 2024
This is why we need guns
US puppet Dina Boluarte must be removed. US regime change on Peru was the reason why this protest broke out
Support Perú, they killed more than 47, they are saying terrorist to all protesters, capturing many leaders, we don’t have warranties about humans rights, the press Peruvians doesn’t inform
Lord. This comment section is full of morons.
On first take I thought they were using rubber bullets, this is beyond disgusting.
they are poor have nothing, all they have is pedro castillo
