Impeachment and outrage were the words that erupted in November 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. The so-called "impeachment motion" brought by members of Congress passed with 105 votes in favor, 19 against, and 4 abstentions, exceeding the number of votes required by the Constitution. This resulted in the removal of Martín Vizcarra (former president of Peru) and the immediate appointment of Manuel Merino as interim president, along with a cabinet whose members were unpopular with the thousands of citizens who were then struggling with the Coronavirus. This act was perceived as repression by the population. Large marches took place across the country, and the citizens' struggle united under the slogan "They messed with the wrong generation." During the following weeks, large-scale demonstrations by citizens, student groups, and social organizations took place throughout the country. There were clashes between police and protesters, which resulted in several arbitrary arrests and hundreds of injuries on both sides.
