Salud Con Lupa
It was their turn, it could've been you
For most of those who demonstrated in November 2020, the mobilization leading to the departure of Manuel Merino from the presidency of Peru was a passing experience, or perhaps a matter of debate among family and friends, or even the first march for thousands of young people, a spontaneous expression of citizenship that put an end to the abuse of power. Nevertheless, for one group of demonstrators, the night of November 14—the culmination of the protests—is yet to end. A night marked by police repression, its consequences remain, in the form of debts incurred to pay for expensive medical procedures, nightmares that make it impossible to sleep, and the feeling of emptiness that comes from dreams that are now beyond reach.
