The interim president of Peru, Manuel Merino, has stepped down amid nationwide fury over the killing of two protesters in a brutally heavy-handed police clampdown on huge pro-democracy demonstrations on Saturday.

In a televised address to the nation, Merino announced his resignation and insisted he acted within the law when he was sworn into office as chief of state on Tuesday, following congress’s removal of the elected president in an impeachment vote.

Interim Peru president faces calls to quit after two protest deaths | World news | The Guardian

George Forsyth, the politician leading the polls as a presidential candidate for the elections next year, demanded Merino’s immediate resignation, saying in a tweet that his “hands were stained with blood”. He said congress should choose a new president from the 19 lawmakers who voted against Vizcarra’s impeachment over unproven bribery allegations. Out of 130 members of congress, 105 voted to remove the centrist leader on Monday.

The former president expressed his sadness over the deaths. “I deeply regret the deaths caused by the repression of this illegal and illegitimate government,” Vizcarra wrote. “My condolences to the families of these civil heroes who, exercising their right, went out in defence of democracy and in search of a better country. The country will not allow the death of these brave young people to go unpunished.”

Minnesota in ‘desperate and dangerous place’ with COVID-19 – StarTribune.com

The Minnesota Department of Health reported a record 8,703 new cases Saturday, a one-day tally that surpassed the previous record by nearly 1,500. Health officials stressed the skyrocketing count wasn’t due to a backlog or some other reporting anomaly, but rather, the rapid spread of a virus that will likely produce rising death counts and hospitalizations for weeks to come. “These are the unvarnished numbers for today and reflect the very desperate and dangerous place we are at in Minnesota,” Kris Ehresmann, the state’s director for infectious diseases, said Saturday in a statement.
