On Tue, Oct 10, 2025, Peru's Interim President Jose Jeri declared a state of emergency in Lima, effective for 30 days, in response to ongoing protests and increased crime rates. This measure allows the government to deploy the army for street patrols and restricts freedom of assembly and other constitutional rights.

The state of emergency follows a significant rise in extortion cases and homicides. In 2025, an estimated 18,000 extortion incidents were reported, marking a 30% increase compared to the previous year. Between January and September, there were 1,690 homicides, compared to 1,502 in the same period of 2024.

The government has not detailed how it plans to gather intelligence to combat these crimes effectively. President Jeri emphasized a strategic shift from a defensive to an offensive approach in addressing criminal activities.

Dina Boluarte was removed from her presidential position by Congress on October 10, 2025, due to her inability to control the escalating crime wave. Jose Jeri, who was the parliament speaker, has assumed the role of interim president until July next year.

This measure allows the government to deploy the army for street patrols and restricts freedom of assembly and other constitutional rights.

Recent protests demanding Jeri's resignation turned violent, resulting in one fatality and approximately 100 injuries, including police officers and journalists. Despite the unrest, President Jeri has stated he will not resign.

In March 2025, a 30-day state of emergency was declared by former President Boluarte after the murder of renowned musician Paul Flores during an extortion attempt. However, this initiative did not significantly alleviate the crime issues.
