Change in pension scheme
Here, corruption, economic insecurity, increasing crime and lack of accountability have angered the youth. After the removal of former President Pedro Castillo and arrested in 2022, dozens of protesters died in the action of security forces. The government is also being questioned on this.
The Peru government has recently changed the pension system. Earlier people could have joined the pension scheme, but it was not mandatory.
Now the government has made a rule that any citizen who completes the age of 18 years in Peru will have to join some pension provider company/institution. That is, no adult can stay out of this system.
Pension providers are private or government institutions that deposit a fixed amount from people every month. In retirement or old age, the same money is returned as pension.
According to Peru’s National Statistics Agency (INEI), 27% of the country’s population is between 18 and 29 years of age. These youth are the backbone of this movement.
Why are people angry?
- Many people feel that it is forced to recover.
- The youth are not getting jobs, so where will they deposit money for pension?
- There are already complaints of corruption and lack of transparency in pension provider institutions.
- People want it to depend on their will, not compulsion.
- People say that the government should focus on employment, education and security, not forcibly imposing pension scheme.
Forest Peace character became a symbol of youth
Peru’s Gen-Z ie 18 to 29 years old is leading in protest of this time. They are making ‘Loffi’, the character of Japanese comics ‘One Peace’, a symbol. The protesters are seen to have a scalp hat mark in their hands, which is the identity of loafi.
Leonardo Munyos, a student leader, said, ‘Lufi goes from place to place to liberate the people from corrupt and dictatorship rulers. Peru also has the same situation. Will not remain silent anymore ‘
Student Santiago Japata said – ‘We are tired of the fact that death and corruption have been made normal. Our generation will no longer sit silent. The government should be afraid of the public, not the public.
One Peace is Japan’s famous comics and anime series. Its story is based on pirates (pirates), who fight for freedom, friendship and justice. This series is very popular among the youth all over the world.
GEN-Z waved the flag of the famous trail of ‘Loffi’ of Japanese comics ‘One Peace’ for the performance.
Luafi goes from place to place to liberate the people from corrupt and dictatorship rulers.
Dissatisfaction due to corruption in Peru is increasing
“The level of dissatisfaction in Peru has been increasing gradually and this situation has been in place for a long time,” told to Reuters, Professor Jo-Marie Burt of Princeton University, who researched Peru’s politics.
According to Professor Burt, these performances are taking place globally amid increasing pressure on democracy. The Boluarte is accused of weakening courts, monitoring institutes and prosecutors.
Burt described it as reminiscent of Alberto Fujimori’s rule in the 1990s, when power was strengthened by controlling the judicial system. There is also a possibility of weakening the government’s election institutions before the 2026 general elections.
According to the report of the Institute of Peruvian Studies in July, Boluarte’s popularity has been reduced to only 2.5%, while the credibility of Parliament is just 3% Is.
Deep impact on mining industry
Demonstrations are also affecting Peru’s important mining industry. Peru is the third largest copper producing country in the world and is also a major producer of gold and silver.
Hadbe Minerals said on Tuesday that due to ongoing demonstrations, they have temporarily closed the mill in their Constanceia mine. This can increase further pressure on the country’s economy.
