Peru is in crisis. Its former president, Pedro Castillo, is in prison. The current president, Dina Boluarte - the country’s sixth in just five years - is struggling to maintain control. A state of emergency is in place, and across the nation, confrontations between protesters and the Peruvian authorities have killed 28 people and injured hundreds.

In this episode of Close Up, Rosa Elvira, a staunch Castillo supporter, and Paola Escatte, an anti-communist activist, give us an insight into the latest political turmoil to shake the nation and their very different visions for the future of the country.
