Peruvian police enter the university of Lima where hundreds of protesters were camping

Numerous agents of the Peruvian National Police (PNP) entered the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos (UNMSM) in Lima this Saturday to evacuate the campus, where for several days hundreds of protesters had come from various parts of Peru to participate in anti-government protests.

Local media reported that a large operation entered this Saturday morning and images broadcast on social networks showed how an armored police vehicle broke down the metal gate of the campus of Peru's main university to enter and proceed to evict the protesters.

Since Wednesday, hundreds of people from Puno, Arequipa and Cuzco, among other parts of the country, began to arrive at this university, who came to the Peruvian capital to participate in the large marches called to demand the resignation of the president, Dina Boluarte, the closing of the Congress, the convocation of a constituent assembly and the advancement of elections.

After the agents entered, policemen in riot gear gathered at the gates of the campus to cordon off the area.

The operation was supported by a police helicopter.

Students from San Marcos University this week showed their support for the protesters and organized collections and chains of donations of water, food, blankets or mattresses for them.
