Important mention: Dina had never been elected president. She came into power when the last elected president Pedro Castillo was similarly indicted after an attenpted self-coup. General elections have already long been called and will be held next year. Congress effectively took power now but is highly unpopular as well as most members and basically all parties have ongoing corruption scandals or allegations. The indictment is partially seen as election campaign for the general election. (2/3)

Her removal came after a spike in organized crime including extorsions, many dead "transportistas" (bus drivers etc), and a recent attack on the band #aguamarina . As many politicians and police officials are suspected to be directly involved, it seems unlikely that this change in leadership would bring a fast end to the violent crime but rather it is feared that parties like #fuerzapopular with the daughter of ex-dictator #fujimori might take advantage to undermine democracy in #peru (3/3)
