Protests against Peru's new government grew this weekend, with police clashing with angry demonstrators calling for a national strike, fresh elections and the release of detained former president Pedro Castillo

South American country's legislature on Wednesday threw out the leftist Castillo after he tried to dissolve Congress and rule by decree.

Dina Boluarte, a former prosecutor who had served as Castillo's vice president, was quickly sworn in to replace him.

On Saturday she introduced her new cabinet, a group with an independent and technocratic profile and including eight women.

And fucked up American liberals comparing him with the freaking Trump.

So typical.
