Protests against neoliberal economic policies entered a fourth day in Peru, just a month after at least 33 people died in demonstrations against oil drilling in the Amazon rainforest.
President Alan Garcia has promised to make significant changes in his cabinet, saying the protests have been instigated by neighboring countries who seek to destabilize Peru.
This week's demonstrations have been led by Indigenous organizations and labor unions that oppose Garcia´s economic policies. They accuse the Peruvian president of using excessive force against demonstrators. FSRN reporters  Alfredo Cuadros and Pamela Cueva have more from Lima.
