Lima Protesters Clash With Riot Police as Peru's New President Sworn In

Clashes between protesters and riot police broke out Tuesday in Peru's capital Lima after Manuel Merino was sworn in as the country's new president. Demonstrators tried to take their protest to the doors of Congress where the ceremony was taking place. Police surrounded the immediate area around the presidential palace and congress and stopped protesters by firing teargas, pellets and delivering blows with batons. The clashes followed an impeachment vote by lawmakers late Monday that ousted former president Martin Vizcarra. The departure of the popular Vizcarra, who had campaigned against corruption, was met with anger on the streets. Some protesters carried posters reading "Merino is not my president." A September Ipsos poll found that 72% of Peruvians polled in urban areas disapproved of Merino, the then-chief of Congress. By contrast, 79% said they thought Vizcarra should continue in office. The protesters describe the dismissal as a "coup in disguise" and promise to keep protesting around the country.
