2022 Peruvian protests

The 2022 Peruvian protests are protests across Peru that happened for less than a month. They were against the country's rising inflation and disapproval of President Pedro Castillo. 

The protests, organized by the leader of the Union of Multimodal Transport Guilds of Peru (UGTRANM) Geovani Rafael Diez Villegas.

Inflation has been rising due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Protests began days after an effort to impeach President Castillo failed on 29 March 2022. After rioting on 4 April 2022, President Castillo declared a state of emergency and enforced an all-day curfew on the capital city of Lima for 5 April.

On 18 April 2022, Pedro Castillo declared a state of emergency which effectively ended the protests.
