Peru protesters rally against Pedro Castillo’s new government

Hundreds of Peruvians have rallied against left-wing President Pedro Castillo days after he appointed a hardliner and a Marxist as his prime minister. The protesters marched through Peru's capital, Lima, on Saturday evening, carrying placards denouncing newly appointed Prime Minister Guido Bellido as a “terrorist” and a sympathiser of the Shining Path, a Maoist rebel group that killed tens of thousands of Peruvians in the 1980s and 1990s in an attempt to seize power.
