Four young Italian girls are stranded in Peru, shocked for days by clashes between the police and supporters of former president Pedro Castillo, imprisoned for rebellion after an attempt to dissolve parliament and replaced on an interim basis by Dina Boluarte , Castillo's former deputy who the latter deems a "usurper".

The young women, in South America for tourism, remained "trapped" on a bus , on the road that leads from Peru, where a state of emergency has been proclaimed, to Bolivia, precisely in the village of Checacupe. The road in question is blocked for hundreds of kilometres, precisely because of the protests.

Then, after the intervention of the Italian embassy in Lima, the young women, three from Romagna and one from Florence, were transferred to a hostel.

"We were going to Bolivia from Peru and we found ourselves in front of an earthen wall and demonstrators from villages where they still speak the ancient Peruvian language," they said on Instagram .

« We have tried to dialogue with the demonstrators but they do not budge . Many people have no more money! There are those who leave money in the bathroom for those who need it. We sleep on the bus», the young women had written again on Instagram before the intervention of the embassy.
