LIMA (Reuters) – Peru’s armed forces will take control of the “protection” of key infrastructure like airports and hydroelectric plants as protests continue across the country, the country’s defense minister said Tuesday.
The government will also declare the country’s highway system under a state of emergency in order to guarantee free transit, Defense Minister Alberto Otarola said.
