Former President Pedro Castillo of Peru appeared in court to deny allegations of conspiracy and rebellion. This comes after his arrest last week and replacement with his former Vice President Dina Boluarte. His supporters have clashed with security forces across the country, leading to the deaths of at least seven. People have called for an election and a new legislature. Boluarte spoke out against extreme protest measures. Air travel to some cities and trains to and from Machu Picchu, Peru's most popular monument, have been stopped due to protests. It is unclear if Boluarte will be able to hold on to power, as she does not have a widespread reputation.
