“Everyone must go!” protesters chanted when they reached congress

Proper journalism would try harder to explain the protestors demands. You really should heed thrm after they ousted one president just a week ago.

Boluarte faced widespread protests after she assumed power in late 2022, leading to dozens of deaths and a plunge in her popularity levels, which oscillated between 2% and 4% in the days leading up to her ouster. Congress – which was headed by Jerí before he became president – is almost equally unpopular, with a single-digit approval rating.

It's in there, last two paragraphs. The new president is just an updated version of the old one, with his own major corruption accusations:

Jerí, 38, has promised to make crime his top priority but has faced a number of scandals, including corruption allegations and a now-shelved investigation for sexual assault. Jerí has denied wrongdoing in both cases and expressed willingness to cooperate with any corruption investigation.
