In the shadow of Arequipa’s historic white volcanic stone cathedral, the night air filled with the scent of burning fabric and the echoing chants of thousands. What began as a peaceful assembly quickly transformed into a fiery demonstration of political discontent. Protesters gathered in the historic Plaza de Armas, a UNESCO World Heritage site, turning the picturesque square into a stage for civil unrest.
At night in an open area, several people are gathered. In the center, individuals hold a white flag with red text that reads "FUJIMORI PRESIDENTA" and "SEGURIDAD Y PROGRESO." The flag is on fire at the bottom, and people are using wooden sticks to manage the burning. To the right, a woman holds a yellow flag on a stick. The environment appears to be a public square or plaza with buildings visible in the background. The mood seems to be charged with strong emotions, given the act of burning the flag.
