Literally 70% of the people in Peru have indigenous blood in them, yet they tend to pretend as if they’re a whole different race not related to the indigenous
True, we Peruvians are all mestizo. That is why it is not true that this protest is about racism. It is about politics, and clashing ideas whether we want Perú to become Cuba or Venezuela (these rural protesters) or to become a western nation (people in the cities). By the way according to National Census 75% of Peruvians live in cities.

As a Hunkpapa Lakota, who's generations go back to those who once roamed and hunted and settled on the Great Plains of the Dakotas, then were later forced onto the reservations, eventually Standing Rock reservation; my heart and soul goes to the indigenous people of Peru. Mitakuye Oyasin.
I'm from Puno, I grew up speaking Quechua, then I learned Spanish at school, after that I had a possibility to study in Lima, It's just a dream for many people in Puno. As indigenous descendent I know the problem between people from Lima and other departments like Puno and Cusco. The problem is people from Puno have really poor education in primary and hight school. The basic education is really low. It's because there's no enough inversion in education. Many people takes advantages from people with poor or zero education, some cases there are thousand of people who can't write and read. These evil human give a soda and a bread to indigenous because they need a consent with fake contracts to exploit territories and make business with international miner companies. The ending we saw, communities without water, river contamination, people fall sick ETC. Sorry for my poor English, I'm learning... 🥶
You are perfectly understandable. As someone from that region, have you ever thought of being there to protect them from others who want to take advantage of your people?
Ya pues Raúl, no seas cojinova, tu sabes bien que desde el 2000 , la descentralización otorga millones de soles a las provincias además del Canon Minero y que tus gobernadores se lo meten al bolsillo. O no sabes cuantos están presos y todos de partido de izquierda. No vivas envenenado y aprende de otros provincianos como los Añaños, los de Unicachi y muchos más que han hecho patria y no quejándose como tu.
The worst part is that your people are been use by narcoterrorist of radical left parties, and some of them just protest because they are been financed by them , why you don't tell them that part ?there are many proofs of it👀👀👀
The world needs more empathy and compassion. Too many psychopaths and sociopaths in charge of public policy and public welfare. Sending love from Afghanistan.
The people protesting are sectarians. They want my country divided and their reality is far different from the North, the "Selva" or Lima, the capital.
I'M SORRY BUT IT'S NOT LIKE THAT, YOU ARE WRONG, THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE NEVER WANTED TO BE PART OF THE PROTESTS THEY WERE FORCED BY LEFT POLITICAL POWER GROUP, FALSE LEADERS WHO FORCED THEM INTO PROTESTS UNDER THREATS AND THE LEADERS OF THESE UNIONIST GROUPS COMMITTED TERRORIST ACTS.
Knowing every indigenous revolution in Latin America turns into war the fmln in El Salvador is a perfect example. Latin America suffered so much fascism during the war against the fmln in El Salvador millions of native in Salvador were wiped out now they only make up one percent of the population with a rising white majority I wonder why not going to get any better because the same thing that happened to El Salvador long time ago is happening in Peru it sad the sad part is I know what the government is trying to truly do
You can do more than hope! There is a phrase that goes "each one, teach one" does this mean start your own counter organization? Maybe not, could it be as simple as taking some "bathroom time, travel time" and research more about the cause. Maybe finding out how to donate filtration systems for heavy metals out of the water and send tools,. equipment and support. These types of disagreements between groups are typically long and the side without resources typically will lose
Nothing will get better..one form of exploitation will be replaced by another . The people will be forgotten after a few years. unless we want some real change, we all have to come together and make structural changes to the present institutions all across the world.
The issue in Peru is devastatingly unfortunate, and these native indigenous groups are protesting a massive injustice that has remained in Latino Society of the old Spanish imperial legacy of Criollo and Mestizo superiority in the social and economic realm which has seen the suppression of basic human rights for indigenous peoples. However, Pedro Castillo is not the champion for the solving of Peru .He was incredibly ill-equipped to hold any form of political power and incompetent he lasted just four months and on top of this just look at how many people he brought in to government positions that lasted briefly it was almost like a circus of people coming in and out, he also tended to flip-flop between right wing ideologies and left wing. Furthermore, he is not as progressive as many think for instance he opposes LGBTQ rights in terms of sex education and marriage, he is against abortion, and does not support a more fair educational environment for men and women in Peru. On top of this attempting to implement a coup does not help your case. What is clear is that change that looks out for the vulnerable indigenous peoples in Peru must be implemented but Pedro Castillo is not the answer
Look Peru's current democracy is far from perfect just like so many other countries in Latin America and has so many problems embedded in its fabric but for Castillo who was facing pressure to then try to implement a coup to protect himself in a country that has witnessed such cases and is relatively young in the world of democracy just damages his case even further it just damages Peru's path to incredibly stable democracy.

You want preferential treatment in Salud, better know someone. Better position in institutions, pay someone, or know someone.

I meant no disrespect towards the indigenous tribes that are protesting! Get that clear first. Plus they have a right to protest when they are not being stood up for! I was only trying to be funny.

If you were offended by my comment I truly apologize! I AM SORRY
Sir, i'm afraid you're not fully informed. Castillo, his widespread corruption and utter incompetence, unfortunately, lasted for 18 months, not four. He never shifted from left to right, but from extreme left to pseudo "progressive left", back and forth, but only as a label, as his unprecedented lack of qualifications for the job also implied he could barely grasp the most basic political concepts. He began as a stooge for Vladimir Cerron - a Marxist-Leninist with close links to extremist terrorist groups and cocaine traffickers. Then Castillo had a taste of power and decided to go solo, only to drift back and forth in his rebellious streak within the leftist movement. An average school graduate is more prepared than Castillo to run a country. He was the biggest disaster and international embarrassment Peru has ever had. I'm a journalist and, amongst many other international media outlets, have also worked for Vice in the past. This piece is appalling and that biased, mediocre reporter should consider her professional vocation.
Nope.If they were, they wouldn't force to close many businesses. They even destroyed an important fish farm in puno. They even blocked ambulances so people died because of that (after some time and pressure, they allow them to be there, but not before some of them were destroyed)
@@jorgebellidolavado6382 many people die, and you have to wonder, without the endless economic driven environmental destruction, how many more will die... death is for all of us... the people are being poisoned , how many children will die, for the mines to build more and more destructive "civilizations"...nothing civilized about it. truly, the people who "live" in the "civilized " portions of the world wouldn't / couldn't be there without the constant THEFT of natural resources, at the expense of others... perhaps the solution is for "civilization" to recognize it itself is the destructive force, and that perhaps the folks who live there would do better to follow the examples of the natural owners of the land... and live within a reasonable balance with their surrounding neighboring creatures... its worked for centuries and in a few short decades, we have destroyed a good portion of natural spaces, peoples and creatures...
Actually they aren't. Also the organizers of these revolts (because they weren't pacific protest that are allowed by the constitution) make the small business from local markets close even tho they want to work. This isn't bad only for the capital but also for the work and economy of the provinces. Also they protest against the central government when there's proof that regional government is at fault because they don't use or steal the money they have from private mineral extraction. So if they cared they protest against the regional government.
@@DaleonM4 Diddnt know about all of this. I do realise that things are quit bad and that the protestors are causing quit a bit of damage but i also understand that sometimes things has to get worse for them to get better, sometimes civil wars are worth fighting. You just gotta be careful because unfortunatly they have a tendensy to go bad real quick and turn the country down a path of more tyrani and exploitation. Because i dont know a lot about the situation ill just take you on yyour word. If thats the case then the protestors need to rethink their goals and demands, like you said protest the regional government
I'm Māori and identify with the struggles these indigenous peoples are facing - it ultimately is a product of colonisation that has lead to the position they are in now, and because the government refuses to accept the past wrongdoings, the byproducts of colonisation persists; which are capitalism, corruption, and racism. Until past wrondoings are acknowledged and reparations are made, things will only get worse. The international community really needs to be involved in these types of situations, as it really is a breach of human rights.
Para nada, ellos les pagaron 50 soles al dia por protestar, pero si no iban, les ponian multa de 100 soles, ademas tuvieron a la ciudad de puno sitiada, obligaron a su gente a cerrar sus negocios y sitiaron todos los sitios de abasto, bajo amenaza de saquear y quemar sus tiendas, lanzar piedras, etc. Estan pagados por la mineria ilegal, los cocaleros y evo morales, gracias a dios ya perdieron

Thank you Vice for reporting on their protests. Their protests reminds me of the indigenous people’s protests in Oaxaca , Mexico 🇲🇽. I support all indigenous communities fight the good fight against corrupt governments.
yeah but you'll never hear about west papua world's biggest goldmine, u.s. operated. 1.8 million dead genocide silenced for OVER SIXTY YEARS they fight, their leader was assassinated last october, still you hear nothing. never.
The funniest part is that Vice never mentioned the people in the streets are protesting the party they voted for and put into office just months back. It is precisely these votes that created the corruption and government disfunction we now have.

Castillo tried to make a communist government, like the Venezuelan regime. The minnute 2:55 is an example of ingorant and dangerous logic that we have in Hispanic America. The opposition to commerce, bussines, etc, is the reason that because Peru is poor even now.
You most read more about their leaders (spanish info has more about it). They dont care about somebody else but protest. The small businesses, bakeries, kiosks, markets, street vendors, etc... According to them, they most show simpaty or they would be me mad and show their sticks and stones. And no, people who are forced to close are not even rich. They are their own "brothers". And also, they go with kids, even though they shouldnt do it. Leaders accept this becaus they need martyrs. And thats comming from a peruvian. Both sides have sins against somebody else, but leftist channels here (Pavel wasay, for example. Formely 150k subs, now 70k) only see one side of the problem.
It's hard, it is a fight between mestizos and natives (quechuas) for political power as quechuas are marginalize from Peru, mestizos are benefits from the agriculture and minerals of the quechuas
Absolutely support the rights of indigenous peoples everywhere including in my own country, down with all the oppressive regimes/governments around the world. Support from the Philippines 🇵🇭 to Peru 🇵🇪
I believe you are missing the fact that the people in government are precisely the ones most of the indiginous communities voted for. There's no oppresion here, they elected a fully incompetent and corrupt president and suffered the consequences. No they are just trying to blame it on someone else.
the thing about these protests is that their claiming on "ending the Dina Boluarte's dictatorship" is ridicolous. 1.- Dina Boluarte got the presidency in legal ways (after a president being discharged from it's place, the vice-president cames to it) 2.- Most of the leaders of the protest were afiliated with the MOVADEF (political group that was with a terrorist movement) 3.- the things that must be changed is mostly the congress and some person in the ministery, not the entire government aside from that, the rest of the claims are actually good things that we should do, but the government doesn't do.
@@leoF_0312 that's actually right, as they can't handle correctly the charge and (on most cases) steals money from the funds. the point is that the protesters should fight to stop what's happening at their own municipality/provinces, not trying to overcome a president that was elected by the people (don't forget we also get to choose our vice-president)
she uses violence on indigenous protestors and refuses to fix anything. As an indigenous, she is very very evil and all indigenous in north and South America should hate this colonist sympathizer
why did vice not hired a peruvian to do this documentary? but instead a spanish left wing activist who does not know anything about Perú or how our culture really works, as usual vice have produce another biased documentary about people who does not how to elect their leaders and then blame everyone else for the stupid actions of them, Perú is not only Cuzco, Puno or Lima, you could be from Ica, pisco, trujillo, huancavelica, Huanuco, etc, seems that some forget that "stupid is as stupid does" is a universal fact, and what is a FACT, is that they demand a change of constitution but do not know what that change means, bc they have not read it
for even more context: Pedro was involved in HUNDREDS of cases where his direct and indirect family members all got high political charges without being qualified for them, with many investigators going missing and facing threats after uncovering the corruption net. Moreover going to the economic side: The current private economic model has ensured Peru stays, as of now, the country with the best financial position in the entire south american region, because it is private businesses and not the state that which controls most regulation. This does come with many transgressions towards minorities at the end of the capitalist system, however when compared to governments in the region where presidents and parties rose to power that supposedly represented the indigenous communities, the only thing they did was to submerge their entire country in crisis making not only the working class suffer but the same indigenous groups be in an even worse position. this just shows there is currently no political system that truly fights for equality and the well being of indigenous communities and the environment but rather a very corrupt landscape in which even supposedly indigenous headfigures cannot be trusted anymore.
Moreover, going to the current state of affairs: The only solution for a murderous regime is its ousting. The only way to bring peace is with justice. Nobody cares how good your economic model is if they promise you will be prosperous in another 200 hundred years, because there will be nothing left of this land in 20 years.
You lie. Castillo has not been charged with any, not one, case of corruption, and certainly not murder; that's Fuerza Popular's domain. That's why Keiko's congress had to attack him, three times, with what translates to "Moral Turpitude;" a charge that without substance requires no specific accusation or evidence; it just means that enough congressmen don't like him and want him out of office. And despite that, the right-wing dominated congress failed twice to get the votes to oust him and was generally expected to lose the third time. That's when the CIA stepped in as the US Ambassador, Lisa Kenna, a nine-year CIA agent, two days before Castillo was forced to read that politically suicidal speech; probably to assure that his family got to the Mexican Embassy safely. He tried to get there immediately after the speech (not the act of a man attempting a golpe de estado) but was kidnapped immediately and held incommunicado ever since. The Peruvian economy has prospered under two presidents who defeated the Sterilizados of Keiko Fujimori. It won't prosper under her rule, the global corporations will. She has been steadily changing the already corrupt constitution inflicted on the country by her daddy to make all forms of protest subject to long prison sentences, and guarantee that congress is dominated by her party. Pobre Peru, tan cerca del Dios de Dinero y tan bajo del EEUU
It really amazes me how much some of you people in Peru are always speaking about how Pedro Castillo is an ignorant imbecile peasant unprepared for the government, but yet you also now involve him in HUNDREDS of cases of corruption making him a super maqueavelious, intelligent and powerful man. He's in jail, goddamit! That coup you are always talking about exists only in your minds! If he really had that much power he would'nt have tried to escape in the first place, he would have stayed right there, like Keiko

Well I'm peruvian and I must say this is mostly inacuratte. Those protest are more inspired by hate and misconceptions about the actual president. She was a far-left candidate, the PM of former President Pedro Castillo. In the country, since Fujimori wasn't the dictator anymore, mostly of the future governments were from left wing and antifujimorist (Even in the southern provinces, with a majority of indigenous people living there, alot of regional gobernors were leftist, and the same time, corrupt), so they impulsed a big campaing of propaganda agaisnt him. There's various rumours about bolivian people into this conflict, like the one who argues that various buses came from southern Peru to the center and north side of the country, and the different accent in some protestant voices. As we remember, the government in our neighboor country is very indigenist since Evo Morales times. So, as a local, I think this is mostly impulsed as a big anti-campaing to all of the things that peruvian liberal-left and far-left hate. And don't think the indigenous aren't conservative. In fact, mostly indigenous peruvians are very authoritarian in the political spectrum of moral and values. So, i must say this "indigenous-led uprising" is a term just for the peruvian left, south american left and 1st World Liberals to give us an inacuratte panorama. But, I must admit alot of indigenous communities aren't well threated. In the Andes (Mostly, because not too much amazonic people protest) there's a big number of rural communities that are very poor and don't have a good education from our State. It's a very lamely situation... BUT, the indigenous argument in the peruvian political crisis is just a facade to hide what peruvian-left errors in our history (Like Castillo's or other corrupt leftist Governments) This isn't a Good vs Bad story. I think we should watch both sides, and put us in a center. The imparciality and care for the people, is what Peru, my country, really needed since the crisis of 2017. This recent protest had divided us as a Nation, and it's very lame to see our society breaking appart, ignoring our identity as a multiethnic nation, looking for and talking about secessionism (Yeah, is illegal but People from various political views, or even apolotical ones say that) like it was a childs game. Im just 15 btw. I speak english since my 13, spanish being my moyher tongue.

What an ignorant comment, obviously it is not 100 percent but 90 percent, in the Andes was where the great cultures that embraced large communities were consolidated. It is more than evident in Our face, our custom
Great report but this is just a one-sided version, I have lived and worked in Puno for years and it's polluted but the answer is not a new constitution. 24 States divide Peru, and 24 Governors are all guilty of corruption incidents. The central government gives MILLIONS OF MILLIONS MONEY to these CORRUPT GOVERNERS that don't have the Values, morals, and Education to invest in new ways to help their own people. The Peruvian central government needs to be accounted for Social injustice but the countryside governors also need to be accounted for their lack of action for not helping their own communities and lying to them by blaming the Private sector., which pays tons of taxes to their local Governers which end up still most of it and Don't use it at all. Peru will be greater again when Local Leaders start working on long-term economies and social projects and stop blaming colonization for their own mistakes. We all need to be accounted for. Everyone needs to read the Constitution of PERU, TO SEE WHAT I MEAN.
Agreed except on two points. Not some but the majority because its the easiest method to power. The divide isnt only along race or religion, the earliest divided fault lines but it all manner of subdivisions from the enemy at the gates to left vs right narrative. Its our tribal nature by default that enables us to forget that the ones we are supposedly struggling against are facing the same issues as we are.

as a peruvian, castillo is horrible and its great he is in jail. if you look at the last 15 presidents of peru, most are in jail or killed themselves. unfortunately, there is the problem where people dont know how to vote for someone worth while and there just isnt any quality control . the person selling at the kiosk would probably even be a better candidate. every province in peru hasnt improved even when lets say castillo was in office. The people protesting dont know what theyre protesting since even the person ,castillo, they are protesting in favor for, did them dirty.
True! Castillo is a criminal who tore Perú apart with his divisive speech of "whites against indigenous people" (there are almost no "whites" in Perú), "Lima agaisnt the Provinces" (when "the provinces" are responsible for their own tax expenditures and they keep on voting for incompetent corrups who keep them in poverty, but insist on blaming Lima for their local vote), and "the rich against the poor" (ignoring that there are more indiginous Peruvians amongst the rich of Peru than there are "whites"). None of this is real. It is just Pedro Castillo's speech in order to get elected and to rob the poor without complains. Peruvians are very aware of this reality and that is why this "protest" is so discredited amongst the larger Peruvian Population. It is sad that this vice reporter has exploited this sad divisionist narrative in order to gain views and attention from people in other countries who do not understand what is really going on.
dictator according to who? the white colonial countries???? hmmm? they said the same thing about Evo Morales in Bolivia yet they saw massive growth under him. Seems like a anti indigenous conspiracy.
Peruvian here. I agree with most of the points from the video, specially those that touch on the subject of racism and exploitation of native people. However, I do agree with what Cueto says in 12:30, both candidates for the presidential elections were awful, Castillo was NOT the answer and his ties with MOVADEF and Vladimir Cerron (leader of the Peru Libre party) were a gigantic red flag for the future of the country. True, he represented the poorest citizens of the country, being a rural teacher but he was incredibly unprepared for the presidency and belonged to a Marxist political party lead by a guy (Cerron) that was in prison for corruption and that is currently being investigated for terrorism. From day 1 the guy had no idea how to run the country and announced impossible populist claims and "reforms" that in reality could not be achieved if it didnt pass through Congress. He had a total of 80 ministers and most public institutions were filled with closed friends with no experience that just stayed there to spread his influence and to collect their paychecks or redirect funds. 20,000 dollars were found in the toilet of his secretary IN THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE. Many of his family members are on the run because of mayor corruption scandals. One of his first ministers was Iver Maravi, who was being investigated for terrorist acts in the 80s and for being part of Sendero Luminoso. Castillo accumulated 51 investigations for corruption and threw his coup to try to avoid being thrown in jail, no other institution supported him in the end and he failed. I agree that the current constitution has its flaws and several articles have to be revised, specially those that handle the relationship between the President and Congress but it does have the tools to allow a competent president to change things for the better. The problem is the crazy levels of corruption across all regions, just look at Vladimir Cerron and how he handled Junin before Castillo assumed the presidency. The poorer regions of Peru that supported Castillo had the least amount of public spending, local governors didnt use the funds to benefit the people, they just wanted to fill the pockets for their policital parties. We see this in every election, politicians claiming that "nothing will change without a new constitution" when in reality people are not receiving basic services because their elected governors are busy siphoning funds and paying for favours under the table.
You should be aware that these large protests are against, and are being heavily suppressed by, the current President Dina Boluarte. She got to where she is now by campaigning in the campesina clothing from her place of birth and speaks Quechua (interestingly unlike Pedro Castillo, who only knows Spanish). In contrast to the U.S. the term "indigenous" is not often used in these contexts; the preferred term in Peru is "campesino" (which means rural, peasant, or farmer). These people belong to rural communities are called "comunidades campesinas". Just like rural folks in the U.S., these individuals are the more conservative side (pro-catholicism, anti-immigration, sexism, etc.), but with left-leaning economic beliefs, and they are angry that the promised constitutional changes made in campaign by many politicians, including Dina Boluarte, have not been fulfilled. However, these standby reforms are not well received by a large portion of Peruvians living in urban areas, leading to a dichotomy between urban and rural perspectives way more than "non-indigenous" vs "indigenous". Bear in mind that the vast majority of the urban population in Peru, like +90%, descend from previous generations of peasants who migrated to the cities. Virtually everyone in Peru is indigenous or has indigenous blood. According to various studies, the average Peruvian has +70% or +80% amerindian ancestry, with many interior cities at +90%. I have no problem with foreign media labeling these protests as indigenous revolts but the context is broader than that.
Blood doesnt matter in this conversation, "we are all equal bc we all have indigenous blood" doesn't lead the conversation about racism anywhere. It's more about how you are socially cathegorized, and socially people living in cities are not catalogued as indigenous. Very simply put, to the average person when you talk about an indigenous person you don't think about someone from the city with some indigenous roots here and there. Indigenous people are "campesinos", sure. But what everyone is trying to point out and peruvians, mostly those who have the opportunity to learn and speak english, dont want to see is the racism which becomes evident in who are being the most mistreated people in these protests, not the citizens but the people raised with indigenous and rural customs and traditions and also everyone who to the Limeñitos, look unwhite enough.
@@ateneamaurtua Racism doesn't become evident when two people of the same race are treated differently because of their culture or class, you're just high on left wing narrative.

Mentira, esas marchas están compradas. Investiga mejor porque das pena ajena no sabes nada de lo que está pasando en Perú Castillo dió un golpe de estado y Sendero Luminoso movió a su gente compráda para marchar
Ya estamos mucho mejor.... Hay problemas pendientes por resolver al igual que los demás países sudamericanos. Pero hemos salidos de peores momentos.. Lamentablemente este reportaje tiene un tinte rojo.. muy mal intencionado.
de hecho castillo hubiera llevado a la ruina Peru,porque crees que cuando lo metieron preso la mayoria de la poblacion no hizo nada?no tenia apoyo mayoritario,jamas la tuvo,su imcompetencia al expresar sus ideas hizo que la mayoria que lo apoyaban ya no lo hagan,incluso justo antes de el autogolpe de estado el tenia que salir del pais para una conferencia pero el gobierno no lo permitio salir porque hablaba tonterias
@@the-wired ¿Porqué eres mentiroso? Apenas se anunció que lo metieron preso empezaron las protestas en TODO el Perú, sobretodo en Lima, ¿porqué quieres engañar a las personas que no son de acá? Castillo tiene un enorme apoyo popular que mayormente proviene de las comunidades campesinas y las personas en situación de pobreza (que lo conforma gran parte de la mayoría de este país), ¿quieres hacer creer que Castillo no fue apoyado? El fue apoyado desde el principio y las matanzas ocurrieron a los pocos días de las protestas porque eran incontrolables, deja de vivir en una burbuja porque ésta puede explotar y si seguimos engañandonos vamos a tener un Perú peor que el de los años 80's, así que ¡RECAPACITEN! Porque nuestra realidad nos está golpeando muy fuerte y es imposible esconderla debajo de la alfombra.
They are not protesting for natural resources, they're protesting for ex president Castillo who lied to them and promised them pensions and expropriation of lands to give them
Im a Pacific islander & i am heartfelt. I come from a tribal background & we too are fighting for existence in this day & age & thats makes us wonder what will happen to the next generation after us?
This is incredibly depressing, but it's also heartening to see people fighting for change. Solidarity with all the indigenous peoples of Peru and worldwide!
I’m Peruvian and I don’t get why you’re making this a racial thing. We’re all indigenous or mestizo in Peru, this isn’t about race it’s about corruption. The problem here it’s the indigenous dude the rural indigenous chose will sell them out, yet they defend him against anyone a little bit less indigenous 😂
It's a lame how western media portrais us to the rest of the world. The situations isn't very simple as they make it look, definitively not a "Good vs Bad" one
Sabes bien que esto es un tema racial, he visto descendientes de provincianos que viven en Lima decir las cosas más racistas posibles hacia otros provincianos, y más con estas protestas.

Watching those videos about social and environmental crisis', breaks my heart, and messes with my faith in humanity.

I'm peruvian and I gotta say that most of the people that are protesting, they don’t even know for what are against for In every single president that we had, people died in this kind of events, so this is not new with the actual president The last one, was probably the worst that we had in our entire republic history and even that some people believe he was the "chosen one" and they are fighting for his freedom. I don’t support that people have to be repressed with gas and other stuff, but sometimes is the same people who act in a aggressive way, so is not what it seems at all. Btw I also don’t support the way that the police works
I do feel for the indigenous people of Peru, but I tend to agree that these women using their children as essentially human shields is pretty reprehensible.
The President Dina Boluarte is Quechua! She is from Ayacucho no from the capital Lima. The Chief of the Army is Quechua from Cusco no from Lima. The premier is Quechua from Áncash no from Lima! The president Dina, the premier and the ministers are left wing!!! All the ejecutive branch is left wing.
You've got a good point! This report claims that an Andean quechua speaking woman-President from Abancay, along with a Premier from Ancash and a quechua Cusco born Chief of Army, are all racist Lima-Spaniards who abuse their poor andean communities just because they are indians.... that is just non-sense! This report is biased. Totally missing the point!
How bizarre. Peru is going through a period of violent conflict. Its newly elected president by overwhelming vote was snagged and thrown into prison by the military who accuse him of criminal behavior but do not charge him. The population is rioting, deaths are rising, the US is sending in troops. And links to the news are immediately removed! "LIMA, Peru (AP) - The president of Peru was ousted by Congress and arrested on a charge of rebellion Wednesday after he sought to dissolve the legislative body and take unilateral control of the government, triggering a grave constitutional crisis".
Thank you soooo much for sharing this! I fell in love with Peru and La gente de Cusco, especially the women and their precious children. I was there for a medical mission trip and they live in my heart since 2005. I know the injustice against Indigenous people isn’t new, it’s sickening… Hearing this makes me pissed beyond belief! Your work is courageous and honorable. How do I help?? Of course I pray for them and will continue to but I need to also take action physically, honestly not sure what can be effective and beneficial for them. For now I have an idea and will start there. Again thank you Paola, you’re bad azz !! God Bless you all , te amo ❤ 🇵🇪🔥
The best way of helping Peru is informing yourself correctly -> *THERE IS NO LEGAL MINING IN PUNO* Legal mining is created by formal companies. There is no Legal Mining in the Region where the "journalism" filmed and edited her report. 100% MINING IN PUNO IS ILLEGAL Those illegal miners are taking over the whole region. They want to obtained a dirty profit out of destrying Mother Earth. The town La Rinconada was created by illegal miners and later supported by communism. It is association between illegal-gold cartels and communism. VIDEO -> """La minería ilegal que mueve millones de soles en el Perú | Cuarto Poder"""
As a Peruvian living here all my life, and having andean indigenous ancestors I can say that this coverage as well as the text in the description box is very misleading. These vulnerable indigenous people have been deluded by socialist leftist leaders to believe that the former president Pedro Castillo (WHO IS NOT BELOVED BY HALF THE POPULATION) has been unconstitutionally revoked from his position when he himself tried to putsch his own government and then tried to escape to Mexico. As some other comment by a Peruvian person said: protest are more inspired by hate and misconceptions. Also, indigenous people were convinced to go for this protest because these leaders promised free meals and transportation and even encouraged to go with their children as you see in the video. Political, civil and constitutional education is almost zero in public schools so people are way more alienable. They also were told (and did) to damage public property which is paid then by people who pay taxes and Puno has one of the lowest informality in Peru (87% approx don't pay taxes), moreover, they were told to vandalize the only international airport in Lima and other airports in the south of the country, block highways and the ones who stood on Puno threatened their OWN people that if they didn't participate in their revolts or were found working, will have their commodities or/and their locals destroyed. All because they think there were doing some good actions for a better cause. These of course had their consequences which again affects their OWN people the most because they live day to day: their small business sales declined, products in cargo trucks couldn't make it to the regions so there was no food or gasoline for people who also work doing taxi there and orphan asyliums and nursing homes were food deprived. Families who were trying to escape that madness with their underage children in cars were vandalised and literally pulled and throwed outside their cars (there is a video where a woman carrying a baby was throwed outside a car) and of course, they stole the car. I can keep going, then a baby died on an ambulance on the way to a hospital because the highway roads blocks and they even dare to say take this demonstration that their towns should have the capacity to attend these cases when their own local authorities have the MONEY TO DO IT, the national government give the resources to local municipalities implement all the basic services but they literally don't have the minimum idea of how to do it. My heart goes to the poor indigenous people who had suffered these consequences and also the ones who believed they were accomplishing something. In the end Indigenous discrimination exist, I firmly believe they have fewer rights than big city people, all the governments have failed them for centuries but trying to romanticize and show a one-sided view of this situation damages more this crisis here and you Vice don't even from here. I love your videos and even take conclusions only from your videos from other countries issues but now I will doubt every material I watch from you.
The strength & determination of these indigenous women is so clear and powerful. You can truly see that they are so desperately fighting for their rights for the future they will do anything.
On other thing they don't tell you that is that most of this Aymaras that came to Lima where payed and by leftwing politicians. What cuetos says is true, the constitutions states that all the mining taxes (45%) have to stay in the region these mines are stated. Also this Aymaras are as racist as peolple of Lima they are lots of videos where they threat hard working enterprenures with violance and fire if they don't agree with their point of view
Why did those mothers try to get near the police with their children? I feel like that is just stupid and careless bringing children to an violent situation.
im Peruvian, this report is so one sided, yes there' racism in Peru as well as in a lot of other countries, but nobody is taking resources of anybody, its like saying because the oil fields are in Texas, Floridians dont have the right to enjoy some of the profits. Ridiculous
Yes, you're taking resources when the government profits from these large companies to exploit resources, and contaminate the land and other natural resources. It's negligence, which is an intended one because the government doesn't consider these people a factor in their own nation. One sided is one thing, but blatantly having a disregard for a demographic which represents this nation is a crime against humanity.
Im peruvian and live in the states. I wish so badly that peru’s government could have ALL peruvians in mind when enforcing legislation. Start with an inclusive reform. Indigenous revolt has to be presented in a way modern peruvians can understand so that more are united on this issue. This will force ppl in lima to SEE the injustice. In the states, the state and local government corruption is not common, this is because all ppl beleive the state must function as a service to the PEOPLE. When state and business mix, enforcements must be put in place to watch the government officials for transparency. unfortunately the harsh truth is that this corruption will never end until more peruvians become united on this issue. Right now it seems the indigenous people need to focus more on convincing other peruvians of this injustice versus convincing their government. Use technology to your advantage to Call out hypocrisy and propaganda! ❤ it will be a long fight but i wish so badly these peruvians make smart and strategic decisions to get their government back to legislating fairly and in the interest of ALL peruvians.
An incredible report on an unfortunately depressing topic; as a Peruvian who grew up and lives in Europe, confined to the Miraflores bubble - it always pains me to see how my compatriots are capable of repressing the lives of other Peruvians.
It is the same in the US and most countries found on colonization. The indigenous land is poisoned by industry and the wealth and resources are extracted and separated from those who are subjected to live there. In the US there are many examples of indigenous people (and others considered "third class") being moved to known toxic areas. The struggle is the same if you look for the parallels.

Support indigenous peoples - support VICE to report on these issues - VICE can't be pushed out by the dominant traditional media - they do not speak for us all
Pretty shallow. Doesn't even answer questions raised in the video. Who owns the mining companies? What political parties are available and what are their policies? Why are people voting the way they are/are they voting? Why is money not spent? Is what that guy says true? What systems are in place to ensure money is spent and not stolen or mis-spent? What is the Peruvian media doing about it? Just for starters.
Good questions. I didn't think it was shallow, though. It was just focusing on those at the bottom who suffer the most from pollution and corruption. I'm very glad for that, to help my understanding of the crisis. Who is being hurt the most? Pollution of Lake Titicaca is a crime against humanity and against Mother Earth. Whoever is responsible needs to be prosecuted. Sounds like Peru really does need a new constitution - one that enshrines the rights of Mother Earth.
Aren't they all indigenous? Like are they saying this is a battle between the rural community vs the city community? Because everyone looks like the same race.
@beni What? What you just said makes no sense, thanks for being dumb. The title says Peru's indigenous revolt against colonial legacy, yet the people they are revolting agaisnt also look like them. So in essence, it's some indigenous people upholding deforstation, low wages and commercilization of resources against indegenous people not for that.
Dear Stella, you're right. They look the same because we Peruvians are pretty much the same! This is not about racism. That is cheap talk. This is political. Rural communities want Peru to become Venezuela or Cuba (at best) vs. Urban communities who want Peru to become an advanced western nation. That is all there is to it. The rest, as I said before, is cheap talk.

It´s not true. This reporting has a socialist profile. My country has improved effectively in the last 30 years applying the market economy. We have problems to include the formality industries because it's difficult to provide progress in a terrible and high geography as the Andes (Have you ever visit there?), besides that the politicians haven't done huge public works that demand a lot of jobs because they don't want the next government to receive applause. we must choose better and qualified authorities.
Nevertheless that... Peru reduced poverty from 60% to 20% from 1990 to 2019.

Now, injustice came from the political party that the majority of people in the Andes region voted for… they are trying to overthrow something they chose for. See the irony? VICE is definitely not presenting the whole story. Besides that, their revolts disrupted independent businesses that had nothing to do with the corrupt government, thus blocking the normal flow of economy, making subsistence harder for them as they rely on daily remuneration (again, the irony). They began looting, provoking casualties and deaths, disrespecting authorities, etc. Do you think is the right way to protest in order to be listened? I do not think so. There is not such thing as race for us, like main issues as in USA, it is about informal and inconsistent actions.

The basic education is really low. It's because there's no enough inversion in education. Many people takes advantages from people with poor or zero education, some cases there are thousand of people who can't write and read.

Knowing every indigenous revolution in Latin America turns into war the fmln in El Salvador is a perfect example.

You can do more than hope! There is a phrase that goes "each one, teach one" does this mean start your own counter organization?

Indigenous people from any country deserves rights and justice
The issue in Peru is devastatingly unfortunate, and these native indigenous groups are protesting a massive injustice that has remained in Latino Society of the old Spanish imperial legacy of Criollo and Mestizo superiority in the social and economic realm which has seen the suppression of basic human rights for indigenous peoples. However, Pedro Castillo is not the champion for the solving of Peru .He was incredibly ill-equipped to hold any form of political power and incompetent he lasted just four months and on top of this just look at how many people he brought in to government positions that lasted briefly it was almost like a circus of people coming in and out, he also tended to flip-flop between right wing ideologies and left wing. Furthermore, he is not as progressive as many think for instance he opposes LGBTQ rights in terms of sex education and marriage, he is against abortion, and does not support a more fair educational environment for men and women in Peru. On top of this attempting to implement a coup does not help your case. What is clear is that change that looks out for the vulnerable indigenous peoples in Peru must be implemented but Pedro Castillo is not the answer
Thanks for the info.
This is a problem everywhere, you cant sacrifice democracy, rule of law etc cause something is wrong
Look Peru's current democracy is far from perfect just like so many other countries in Latin America and has so many problems embedded in its fabric but for Castillo who was facing pressure to then try to implement a coup to protect himself in a country that has witnessed such cases and is relatively young in the world of democracy just damages his case even further it just damages Peru's path to incredibly stable democracy.

Sir, i'm afraid you're not fully informed. Castillo, his widespread corruption and utter incompetence, unfortunately, lasted for 18 months, not four. He never shifted from left to right, but from extreme left to pseudo "progressive left", back and forth, but only as a label, as his unprecedented lack of qualifications for the job also implied he could barely grasp the most basic political concepts. He began as a stooge for Vladimir Cerron - a Marxist-Leninist with close links to extremist terrorist groups and cocaine traffickers. Then Castillo had a taste of power and decided to go solo, only to drift back and forth in his rebellious streak within the leftist movement. An average school graduate is more prepared than Castillo to run a country. He was the biggest disaster and international embarrassment Peru has ever had. I'm a journalist and, amongst many other international media outlets, have also worked for Vice in the past. This piece is appalling and that biased, mediocre reporter should consider her professional vocation.

Actually they aren't. Also the organizers of these revolts (because they weren't pacific protest that are allowed by the constitution) make the small business from local markets close even tho they want to work. This isn't bad only for the capital but also for the work and economy of the provinces. Also they protest against the central government when there's proof that regional government is at fault because they don't use or steal the money they have from private mineral extraction. So if they cared they protest against the regional government.

I'm Māori and identify with the struggles these indigenous peoples are facing - it ultimately is a product of colonisation that has lead to the position they are in now, and because the government refuses to accept the past wrongdoings, the byproducts of colonisation persists; which are capitalism, corruption, and racism. Until past wrondoings are acknowledged and reparations are made, things will only get worse. The international community really needs to be involved in these types of situations, as it really is a breach of human rights.

Thank you Vice for reporting on their protests. Their protests reminds me of the indigenous people’s protests in Oaxaca , Mexico 🇲🇽. I support all indigenous communities fight the good fight against corrupt governments.

yeah but you'll never hear about west papua
world's biggest goldmine, u.s. operated. 1.8 million dead genocide silenced for OVER SIXTY YEARS
they fight, their leader was assassinated last october, still you hear nothing. never.
Incluso cuando atacan ambulancias? O cuando llevan a sus hijos a sus protestan violentas sabiendo que los van a gasear?
The funniest part is that Vice never mentioned the people in the streets are protesting the party they voted for and put into office just months back. It is precisely these votes that created the corruption and government disfunction we now have.
@@johnanc8984 No los deberían gasear si tienen sus hijos de tan solo meses en sus espaldas, hay que ser bien cobarde y sobretodo un psicópata para hecharles gases con niños, y no me digas que "solo estan cumpliendo con su trabajo", ESO ESTÁ MAL.
Castillo tried to make a communist government, like the Venezuelan regime. The minnute 2:55 is an example of ingorant and dangerous logic that we have in Hispanic America. The opposition to commerce, bussines, etc, is the reason that because Peru is poor even now.
i support the indigenous community
You most read more about their leaders (spanish info has more about it). They dont care about somebody else but protest.
The small businesses, bakeries, kiosks, markets, street vendors, etc... According to them, they most show simpaty or they would be me mad and show their sticks and stones. And no, people who are forced to close are not even rich. They are their own "brothers".
And also, they go with kids, even though they shouldnt do it. Leaders accept this becaus they need martyrs. And thats comming from a peruvian.
Both sides have sins against somebody else, but leftist channels here (Pavel wasay, for example. Formely 150k subs, now 70k) only see one side of the problem.
YOU SUPPORT NARCOS LIKE EVO MORALES WHO PROMOTE THIS???
It's hard, it is a fight between mestizos and natives (quechuas) for political power as quechuas are marginalize from Peru, mestizos are benefits from the agriculture and minerals of the quechuas

La dictadura de las causas justas... pero son mentiras... solo chavismo....
I believe you are missing the fact that the people in government are precisely the ones most of the indiginous communities voted for. There's no oppresion here, they elected a fully incompetent and corrupt president and suffered the consequences. No they are just trying to blame it on someone else.
the thing about these protests is that their claiming on "ending the Dina Boluarte's dictatorship" is ridicolous.
1.- Dina Boluarte got the presidency in legal ways (after a president being discharged from it's place, the vice-president cames to it)
2.- Most of the leaders of the protest were afiliated with the MOVADEF (political group that was with a terrorist movement)
3.- the things that must be changed is mostly the congress and some person in the ministery, not the entire government
aside from that, the rest of the claims are actually good things that we should do, but the government doesn't do.
Don't forget, most of the responsabilty for the disasters in native-mayority regions are their regional governors
@@leoF_0312 that's actually right, as they can't handle correctly the charge and (on most cases) steals money from the funds.
the point is that the protesters should fight to stop what's happening at their own municipality/provinces, not trying to overcome a president that was elected by the people (don't forget we also get to choose our vice-president)
she needed 104 votes but got 102.... wow

why did vice not hired a peruvian to do this documentary? but instead a spanish left wing activist who does not know anything about Perú or how our culture really works, as usual vice have produce another biased documentary about people who does not how to elect their leaders and then blame everyone else for the stupid actions of them, Perú is not only Cuzco, Puno or Lima, you could be from Ica, pisco, trujillo, huancavelica, Huanuco, etc, seems that some forget that "stupid is as stupid does" is a universal fact, and what is a FACT, is that they demand a change of constitution but do not know what that change means, bc they have not read it
and the cherry in the cake is that is the spaniard that crys about the legacy of colonization go figure
Save Peru. Save Amazonia.
I stand with the North and South indigenous peoples of the America's. May you find justice and freedom.
for even more context: Pedro was involved in HUNDREDS of cases where his direct and indirect family members all got high political charges without being qualified for them, with many investigators going missing and facing threats after uncovering the corruption net. Moreover going to the economic side: The current private economic model has ensured Peru stays, as of now, the country with the best financial position in the entire south american region, because it is private businesses and not the state that which controls most regulation. This does come with many transgressions towards minorities at the end of the capitalist system, however when compared to governments in the region where presidents and parties rose to power that supposedly represented the indigenous communities, the only thing they did was to submerge their entire country in crisis making not only the working class suffer but the same indigenous groups be in an even worse position. this just shows there is currently no political system that truly fights for equality and the well being of indigenous communities and the environment but rather a very corrupt landscape in which even supposedly indigenous headfigures cannot be trusted anymore.
Moreover, going to the current state of affairs: The only solution for a murderous regime is its ousting. The only way to bring peace is with justice. Nobody cares how good your economic model is if they promise you will be prosperous in another 200 hundred years, because there will be nothing left of this land in 20 years.
You lie. Castillo has not been charged with any, not one, case of corruption, and certainly not murder; that's Fuerza Popular's domain. That's why Keiko's congress had to attack him, three times, with what translates to "Moral Turpitude;" a charge that without substance requires no specific accusation or evidence; it just means that enough congressmen don't like him and want him out of office. And despite that, the right-wing dominated congress failed twice to get the votes to oust him and was generally expected to lose the third time. That's when the CIA stepped in as the US Ambassador, Lisa Kenna, a nine-year CIA agent, two days before Castillo was forced to read that politically suicidal speech; probably to assure that his family got to the Mexican Embassy safely. He tried to get there immediately after the speech (not the act of a man attempting a golpe de estado) but was kidnapped immediately and held incommunicado ever since. The Peruvian economy has prospered under two presidents who defeated the Sterilizados of Keiko Fujimori. It won't prosper under her rule, the global corporations will. She has been steadily changing the already corrupt constitution inflicted on the country by her daddy to make all forms of protest subject to long prison sentences, and guarantee that congress is dominated by her party. Pobre Peru, tan cerca del Dios de Dinero y tan bajo del EEUU

Well I'm peruvian and I must say this is mostly inacuratte. Those protest are more inspired by hate and misconceptions about the actual president. She was a far-left candidate, the PM of former President Pedro Castillo. In the country, since Fujimori wasn't the dictator anymore, mostly of the future governments were from left wing and antifujimorist (Even in the southern provinces, with a majority of indigenous people living there, alot of regional gobernors were leftist, and the same time, corrupt), so they impulsed a big campaing of propaganda agaisnt him.
There's various rumours about bolivian people into this conflict, like the one who argues that various buses came from southern Peru to the center and north side of the country, and the different accent in some protestant voices. As we remember, the government in our neighboor country is very indigenist since Evo Morales times.
So, as a local, I think this is mostly impulsed as a big anti-campaing to all of the things that peruvian liberal-left and far-left hate.
And don't think the indigenous aren't conservative. In fact, mostly indigenous peruvians are very authoritarian in the political spectrum of moral and values. So, i must say this "indigenous-led uprising" is a term just for the peruvian left, south american left and 1st World Liberals to give us an inacuratte panorama.
But, I must admit alot of indigenous communities aren't well threated. In the Andes (Mostly, because not too much amazonic people protest) there's a big number of rural communities that are very poor and don't have a good education from our State. It's a very lamely situation... BUT, the indigenous argument in the peruvian political crisis is just a facade to hide what peruvian-left errors in our history (Like Castillo's or other corrupt leftist Governments)
This isn't a Good vs Bad story. I think we should watch both sides, and put us in a center. The imparciality and care for the people, is what Peru, my country, really needed since the crisis of 2017. This recent protest had divided us as a Nation, and it's very lame to see our society breaking appart, ignoring our identity as a multiethnic nation, looking for and talking about secessionism (Yeah, is illegal but People from various political views, or even apolotical ones say that) like it was a childs game.

What an ignorant comment, obviously it is not 100 percent but 90 percent, in the Andes was where the great cultures that embraced large communities were consolidated. It is more than evident in Our face, our custom
Great report but this is just a one-sided version, I have lived and worked in Puno for years and it's polluted but the answer is not a new constitution. 24 States divide Peru, and 24 Governors are all guilty of corruption incidents. The central government gives MILLIONS OF MILLIONS MONEY to these CORRUPT GOVERNERS that don't have the Values, morals, and Education to invest in new ways to help their own people. The Peruvian central government needs to be accounted for Social injustice but the countryside governors also need to be accounted for their lack of action for not helping their own communities and lying to them by blaming the Private sector., which pays tons of taxes to their local Governers which end up still most of it and Don't use it at all. Peru will be greater again when Local Leaders start working on long-term economies and social projects and stop blaming colonization for their own mistakes. We all need to be accounted for. Everyone needs to read the Constitution of PERU, TO SEE WHAT I MEAN.

as a peruvian, castillo is horrible and its great he is in jail. if you look at the last 15 presidents of peru, most are in jail or killed themselves. unfortunately, there is the problem where people dont know how to vote for someone worth while and there just isnt any quality control . the person selling at the kiosk would probably even be a better candidate. every province in peru hasnt improved even when lets say castillo was in office. The people protesting dont know what theyre protesting since even the person ,castillo, they are protesting in favor for, did them dirty.

Makes me sick how Vice calls dictator Pedro Castillo a "beloved farmer-turned-president".
Lol, vice is going bankrupt over this type of reporting
True! Castillo is a criminal who tore Perú apart with his divisive speech of "whites against indigenous people" (there are almost no "whites" in Perú), "Lima agaisnt the Provinces" (when "the provinces" are responsible for their own tax expenditures and they keep on voting for incompetent corrups who keep them in poverty, but insist on blaming Lima for their local vote), and "the rich against the poor" (ignoring that there are more indiginous Peruvians amongst the rich of Peru than there are "whites"). None of this is real. It is just Pedro Castillo's speech in order to get elected and to rob the poor without complains. Peruvians are very aware of this reality and that is why this "protest" is so discredited amongst the larger Peruvian Population. It is sad that this vice reporter has exploited this sad divisionist narrative in order to gain views and attention from people in other countries who do not understand what is really going on.
dictator according to who? the white colonial countries???? hmmm? they said the same thing about Evo Morales in Bolivia yet they saw massive growth under him. Seems like a anti indigenous conspiracy.
every indigenous leader will be called dictator by the white owned colonial news.
Peruvian here. I agree with most of the points from the video, specially those that touch on the subject of racism and exploitation of native people. However, I do agree with what Cueto says in 12:30, both candidates for the presidential elections were awful, Castillo was NOT the answer and his ties with MOVADEF and Vladimir Cerron (leader of the Peru Libre party) were a gigantic red flag for the future of the country. True, he represented the poorest citizens of the country, being a rural teacher but he was incredibly unprepared for the presidency and belonged to a Marxist political party lead by a guy (Cerron) that was in prison for corruption and that is currently being investigated for terrorism. From day 1 the guy had no idea how to run the country and announced impossible populist claims and "reforms" that in reality could not be achieved if it didnt pass through Congress. He had a total of 80 ministers and most public institutions were filled with closed friends with no experience that just stayed there to spread his influence and to collect their paychecks or redirect funds. 20,000 dollars were found in the toilet of his secretary IN THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE. Many of his family members are on the run because of mayor corruption scandals. One of his first ministers was Iver Maravi, who was being investigated for terrorist acts in the 80s and for being part of Sendero Luminoso. Castillo accumulated 51 investigations for corruption and threw his coup to try to avoid being thrown in jail, no other institution supported him in the end and he failed.
I agree that the current constitution has its flaws and several articles have to be revised, specially those that handle the relationship between the President and Congress but it does have the tools to allow a competent president to change things for the better. The problem is the crazy levels of corruption across all regions, just look at Vladimir Cerron and how he handled Junin before Castillo assumed the presidency. The poorer regions of Peru that supported Castillo had the least amount of public spending, local governors didnt use the funds to benefit the people, they just wanted to fill the pockets for their policital parties. We see this in every election, politicians claiming that "nothing will change without a new constitution" when in reality people are not receiving basic services because their elected governors are busy siphoning funds and paying for favours under the table.

You should be aware that these large protests are against, and are being heavily suppressed by, the current President Dina Boluarte. She got to where she is now by campaigning in the campesina clothing from her place of birth and speaks Quechua (interestingly unlike Pedro Castillo, who only knows Spanish). In contrast to the U.S. the term "indigenous" is not often used in these contexts; the preferred term in Peru is "campesino" (which means rural, peasant, or farmer). These people belong to rural communities are called "comunidades campesinas". Just like rural folks in the U.S., these individuals are the more conservative side (pro-catholicism, anti-immigration, sexism, etc.), but with left-leaning economic beliefs, and they are angry that the promised constitutional changes made in campaign by many politicians, including Dina Boluarte, have not been fulfilled. However, these standby reforms are not well received by a large portion of Peruvians living in urban areas, leading to a dichotomy between urban and rural perspectives way more than "non-indigenous" vs "indigenous". Bear in mind that the vast majority of the urban population in Peru, like +90%, descend from previous generations of peasants who migrated to the cities. Virtually everyone in Peru is indigenous or has indigenous blood. According to various studies, the average Peruvian has +70% or +80% amerindian ancestry, with many interior cities at +90%. I have no problem with foreign media labeling these protests as indigenous revolts but the context is broader than that.
Blood doesnt matter in this conversation, "we are all equal bc we all have indigenous blood" doesn't lead the conversation about racism anywhere. It's more about how you are socially cathegorized, and socially people living in cities are not catalogued as indigenous. Very simply put, to the average person when you talk about an indigenous person you don't think about someone from the city with some indigenous roots here and there. Indigenous people are "campesinos", sure. But what everyone is trying to point out and peruvians, mostly those who have the opportunity to learn and speak english, dont want to see is the racism which becomes evident in who are being the most mistreated people in these protests, not the citizens but the people raised with indigenous and rural customs and traditions and also everyone who to the Limeñitos, look unwhite enough.
@@ateneamaurtua Racism doesn't become evident when two people of the same race are treated differently because of their culture or class, you're just high on left wing narrative.

I'm peruvian and I gotta say that most of the people that are protesting, they don’t even know for what are against for
In every single president that we had, people died in this kind of events, so this is not new with the actual president
The last one, was probably the worst that we had in our entire republic history and even that some people believe he was the "chosen one" and they are fighting for his freedom.
I don’t support that people have to be repressed with gas and other stuff, but sometimes is the same people who act in a aggressive way, so is not what it seems at all.
Btw I also don’t support the way that the police works
You didn’t watch the full video then. They are protesting the horrible extraction of their resources and the poisoning of their land.
Para los puneños la culpa siempre es Lima. Y nunca las autoridades incapaces y corruptas que ellos mismos eligen.
As a peruana from Trujillo but my family members from tribes thank you for showing us and giving us light
I do feel for the indigenous people of Peru, but I tend to agree that these women using their children as essentially human shields is pretty reprehensible.
The President Dina Boluarte is Quechua! She is from Ayacucho no from the capital Lima. The Chief of the Army is Quechua from Cusco no from Lima. The premier is Quechua from Áncash no from Lima! The president Dina, the premier and the ministers are left wing!!! All the ejecutive branch is left wing.
That's how you see how biased with US liberal views is this reportage
You've got a good point! This report claims that an Andean quechua speaking woman-President from Abancay, along with a Premier from Ancash and a quechua Cusco born Chief of Army, are all racist Lima-Spaniards who abuse their poor andean communities just because they are indians.... that is just non-sense! This report is biased. Totally missing the point!
STAY STRONG MY SISTERS AN BROTHERS !!! MOHAWK WARRIORS STAND WITH YOU IN THIS FIGHT
✨🔥💖🔥✨
Thank you for this news from Peru. May we all listen with our hearts all over our world with words from all people who care.❤
How bizarre. Peru is going through a period of violent conflict. Its newly elected president by overwhelming vote was snagged and thrown into prison by the military who accuse him of criminal behavior but do not charge him. The population is rioting, deaths are rising, the US is sending in troops.
And links to the news are immediately removed! "LIMA, Peru (AP) - The president of Peru was ousted by Congress and arrested on a charge of rebellion Wednesday after he sought to dissolve the legislative body and take unilateral control of the government, triggering a grave constitutional crisis".
Thank you soooo much for sharing this! I fell in love with Peru and La gente de Cusco, especially the women and their precious children. I was there for a medical mission trip and they live in my heart since 2005. I know the injustice against Indigenous people isn’t new, it’s sickening… Hearing this makes me pissed beyond belief! Your work is courageous and honorable. How do I help?? Of course I pray for them and will continue to but I need to also take action physically, honestly not sure what can be effective and beneficial for them. For now I have an idea and will start there. Again thank you Paola, you’re bad azz !! God Bless you all , te amo ❤ 🇵🇪🔥
The best way of helping Peru is informing yourself correctly -> *THERE IS NO LEGAL MINING IN PUNO* Legal mining is created by formal companies. There is no Legal Mining in the Region where the "journalism" filmed and edited her report. 100% MINING IN PUNO IS ILLEGAL Those illegal miners are taking over the whole region. They want to obtained a dirty profit out of destrying Mother Earth. The town La Rinconada was created by illegal miners and later supported by communism. It is association between illegal-gold cartels and communism. VIDEO -> """La minería ilegal que mueve millones de soles en el Perú | Cuarto Poder"""
As a Peruvian living here all my life, and having andean indigenous ancestors I can say that this coverage as well as the text in the description box is very misleading. These vulnerable indigenous people have been deluded by socialist leftist leaders to believe that the former president Pedro Castillo (WHO IS NOT BELOVED BY HALF THE POPULATION) has been unconstitutionally revoked from his position when he himself tried to putsch his own government and then tried to escape to Mexico. As some other comment by a Peruvian person said: protest are more inspired by hate and misconceptions. Also, indigenous people were convinced to go for this protest because these leaders promised free meals and transportation and even encouraged to go with their children as you see in the video. Political, civil and constitutional education is almost zero in public schools so people are way more alienable. They also were told (and did) to damage public property which is paid then by people who pay taxes and Puno has one of the lowest informality in Peru (87% approx don't pay taxes), moreover, they were told to vandalize the only international airport in Lima and other airports in the south of the country, block highways and the ones who stood on Puno threatened their OWN people that if they didn't participate in their revolts or were found working, will have their commodities or/and their locals destroyed. All because they think there were doing some good actions for a better cause. These of course had their consequences which again affects their OWN people the most because they live day to day: their small business sales declined, products in cargo trucks couldn't make it to the regions so there was no food or gasoline for people who also work doing taxi there and orphan asyliums and nursing homes were food deprived. Families who were trying to escape that madness with their underage children in cars were vandalised and literally pulled and throwed outside their cars (there is a video where a woman carrying a baby was throwed outside a car) and of course, they stole the car. I can keep going, then a baby died on an ambulance on the way to a hospital because the highway roads blocks and they even dare to say take this demonstration that their towns should have the capacity to attend these cases when their own local authorities have the MONEY TO DO IT, the national government give the resources to local municipalities implement all the basic services but they literally don't have the minimum idea of how to do it. My heart goes to the poor indigenous people who had suffered these consequences and also the ones who believed they were accomplishing something. In the end Indigenous discrimination exist, I firmly believe they have fewer rights than big city people, all the governments have failed them for centuries but trying to romanticize and show a one-sided view of this situation damages more this crisis here and you Vice don't even from here. I love your videos and even take conclusions only from your videos from other countries issues but now I will doubt every material I watch from you.
The strength & determination of these indigenous women is so clear and powerful. You can truly see that they are so desperately fighting for their rights for the future they will do anything.
Fuerza 😂 determinación 😂 mira como llevan a sus hijos a las protestas
As an descendant of natives peruvians from both sides of my family up until the minute 3:00 almost everything that was said is wrong.
On other thing they don't tell you that is that most of this Aymaras that came to Lima where payed and by leftwing politicians. What cuetos says is true, the constitutions states that all the mining taxes (45%) have to stay in the region these mines are stated. Also this Aymaras are as racist as peolple of Lima they are lots of videos where they threat hard working enterprenures with violance and fire if they don't agree with their point of view
We are indigenous people
💪💪💪💪
Paola Ramos is an exceptional reporter. Consistently extraordinary. I love her.
Why did those mothers try to get near the police with their children? I feel like that is just stupid and careless bringing children to an violent situation.
im Peruvian, this report is so one sided, yes there' racism in Peru as well as in a lot of other countries, but nobody is taking resources of anybody, its like saying because the oil fields are in Texas, Floridians dont have the right to enjoy some of the profits. Ridiculous
Yes, you're taking resources when the government profits from these large companies to exploit resources, and contaminate the land and other natural resources. It's negligence, which is an intended one because the government doesn't consider these people a factor in their own nation. One sided is one thing, but blatantly having a disregard for a demographic which represents this nation is a crime against humanity.
These people need justice!
Keep it up. Solidarity
Im peruvian and live in the states. I wish so badly that peru’s government could have ALL peruvians in mind when enforcing legislation. Start with an inclusive reform. Indigenous revolt has to be presented in a way modern peruvians can understand so that more are united on this issue. This will force ppl in lima to SEE the injustice.
In the states, the state and local government corruption is not common, this is because all ppl beleive the state must function as a service to the PEOPLE. When state and business mix, enforcements must be put in place to watch the government officials for transparency. unfortunately the harsh truth is that this corruption will never end until more peruvians become united on this issue. Right now it seems the indigenous people need to focus more on convincing other peruvians of this injustice versus convincing their government. Use technology to your advantage to Call out hypocrisy and propaganda! ❤ it will be a long fight but i wish so badly these peruvians make smart and strategic decisions to get their government back to legislating fairly and in the interest of ALL peruvians.
So crazy how this goes on. Simply heart breaking
I find this mixing of Spanish and Indigenous people absolutely fascinating! They look cool. They're very good looking!
I support everything the Natives are doing here.
An incredible report on an unfortunately depressing topic; as a Peruvian who grew up and lives in Europe, confined to the Miraflores bubble - it always pains me to see how my compatriots are capable of repressing the lives of other Peruvians.
It is the same in the US and most countries found on colonization. The indigenous land is poisoned by industry and the wealth and resources are extracted and separated from those who are subjected to live there. In the US there are many examples of indigenous people (and others considered "third class") being moved to known toxic areas. The struggle is the same if you look for the parallels.

Support indigenous peoples - support VICE to report on these issues - VICE can't be pushed out by the dominant traditional media - they do not speak for us all
Pretty shallow. Doesn't even answer questions raised in the video.
Who owns the mining companies?
What political parties are available and what are their policies?
Why are people voting the way they are/are they voting?
Why is money not spent? Is what that guy says true? What systems are in place to ensure money is spent and not stolen or mis-spent?
What is the Peruvian media doing about it?
Just for starters.
Good questions. I didn't think it was shallow, though. It was just focusing on those at the bottom who suffer the most from pollution and corruption. I'm very glad for that, to help my understanding of the crisis. Who is being hurt the most? Pollution of Lake Titicaca is a crime against humanity and against Mother Earth. Whoever is responsible needs to be prosecuted. Sounds like Peru really does need a new constitution - one that enshrines the rights of Mother Earth.
I'm glad you are now in bankruptcy.
Finally natives unite
what took you so long to report this?
Aren't they all indigenous? Like are they saying this is a battle between the rural community vs the city community? Because everyone looks like the same race.
@@ChuChuBelo What?
@beni What? What you just said makes no sense, thanks for being dumb. The title says Peru's indigenous revolt against colonial legacy, yet the people they are revolting agaisnt also look like them. So in essence, it's some indigenous people upholding deforstation, low wages and commercilization of resources against indegenous people not for that.
Dear Stella, you're right. They look the same because we Peruvians are pretty much the same! This is not about racism. That is cheap talk. This is political. Rural communities want Peru to become Venezuela or Cuba (at best) vs. Urban communities who want Peru to become an advanced western nation. That is all there is to it. The rest, as I said before, is cheap talk.
@@chinos1970 Ok, interesting. I thought maybe it was a fight between light skinned Peruvians and darker skin Peruvians. I guess where they can't make it about race they will use gaslighting to make it such. The cult of racism at work
@@chinos1970 There are Peruvians of all colors, and the ones with the most power or white, asian and mestizo. The poorest are black and Indian and dark mestizos. Take a sample of 200 of the richest people in Peru, very few are black or native.
This is incredible reporting. You can feel their anger. I'm even angry at this injustice, racism and abuse they're facing. 😡
It´s not true. This reporting has a socialist profile. My country has improved effectively in the last 30 years applying the market economy. We have problems to include the formality industries because it's difficult to provide progress in a terrible and high geography as the Andes (Have you ever visit there?), besides that the politicians haven't done huge public works that demand a lot of jobs because they don't want the next government to receive applause. we must choose better and qualified authorities.
Nevertheless that... Peru reduced poverty from 60% to 20% from 1990 to 2019.
Don't base your conclusion only from this video, as a Peruvian I can told you this is VERY biased. Life is not a movie with the bad guys against the good guys.
What? I am a Peruvian and this injustice came from the party that the majority of these people voted for… I think in part VICE presented not the whole history. They were seeking a revolt by disrupting businesses that had nothing to do with corruption
@@tonymoti JAJAJA como intentas engañar a los gringos... "Perú redujo su pobreza", blablabla, un poco más y le pones un altar al genocida de fujimori.

Si no crees... busca en la página web del INEI y verás que es 100% cierto lo que escribo. Y genocidio... lo hizo tu presidente Vizcarra no Fujimori. Los policías que mataron a terroristas defendieron a la nación... a todos los peruanos así que bien hecho!!

@@MarianaHidden oh really? Please do tell me your very unbiased and expert opinion, random Peruvian white woman.
@@sanjayr maybe you should consider a Peruvian’s perspective living in their country more. We are creole, a mixed population. Now, injustice came from the political party that the majority of people in the Andes region voted for… they are trying to overthrow something they chose for. See the irony? VICE is definitely not presenting the whole story. Besides that, their revolts disrupted independent businesses that had nothing to do with the corrupt government, thus blocking the normal flow of economy, making subsistence harder for them as they rely on daily remuneration (again, the irony). They began looting, provoking casualties and deaths, disrespecting authorities, etc. Do you think is the right way to protest in order to be listened? I do not think so. There is not such thing as race for us, like main issues as in USA, it is about informal and inconsistent actions.
@greciacordova1118 the moment you mentioned their being no race that you see while a literal video shows this is not the case, you lost my attention.

Seems like a dangerous and complex situation. I dont see how charging a police line with kids strapped to you would help anyone though.
Or maybe police shouldn't attack children???
@@Tofu_va_Bien I agree that children should not have violence committed against them, but if I tie one to my body and then knowingly put myself into harm's way am I any better in that regard?
