The President of the Republic Dina Boluarte on Sunday reiterated her call for dialogue to put an end to violent protests in Andahuaylas (Apurimac region), which have left a person dead and a police officer injured.

Via Twitter, the Head of State lamented the death of a citizen and expressed her condolences to the relatives.

"No Peruvian's life deserves to be sacrificed for political interests. I express my condolences for the death of a citizen in Andahuaylas. I reiterate my call for dialogue and for an end to violence," she said.

Precisely, the Peruvian National Police (PNP) confirmed the death of a citizen and an injured police officer during the events that occurred at Huancabamba airport facilities in Andahuaylas.

The police institution calls on citizens to preserve public order and remain calm, aspects that lead to the development of the country, and calls on the population to express their demands peacefully.
