The authorities in Peru declared, Saturday, a state of emergency in the capital, Lima, and other regions after the massive clashes in the country.
The clashes left behind more than 42 dead in less than five weeks.
The latest declared measure will give the authority of the armed forces to interfere to keep stability and security. In addition, it will suspend some constitutional rights.
The declaration covers more regions of Cusco and Puno and the port of Callao, adjacent to Lima.
More than 100 roadblocks, constructed by protesters to disrupt traffic, were in place across Peru on Saturday, mainly in the south.
Authorities reopened Cusco international airport, which is vital to Peru’s tourism sector.
