INSIDE THE AMERICAS © FRANCE 24

Peru has been rocked by violent protests since early December. Back then, Pedro Castillo, the leftist president who had vowed to tackle the country's poverty and inequality, attempted to dissolve Congress and rule by decree. The move was widely condemned as unconstitutional and Castillo was arrested and replaced by his vice-president, Dina Boluarte.

In this special edition, we take a closer look at Peru's political unrest and speak to Peruvian political analyst Gonzalo Banda.
