How the Youth Saved Peru from a New Dictatorship
Given the brutal police repression, thousands of young people organized themselves to carry out a national march on Saturday, November 14th. The organization took place through social media, mainly Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. There was no leadership of a political party, workers union, nor organized collective.
