“On Sept. 9, 2024, during a press conference, [President] Dina Boluarte's spokesperson, Fredy Hinojosa, asked the public prosecutor's office to investigate journalistic publications about popular protests against her. Hinojosa described as false the live broadcasts that allegedly show attacks on the president, which he considered an invitation to violence. He alluded to protests against Boluarte that occurred on Sept. 5, in Piura.
Boluarte's spokesperson said that these recordings were from 'malicious people' who seek to discredit the president and her ministers, and accused the press of 'instigating violence against authorities.'"
