The small anniversary program started very early with a homage to Cacique Taulichusco, the last Curaca (Cacique) before the Spanish conquest, who ruled the Rímac Valley, part of the Inca Empire.
Almost at the same time, the city received residents, a large part of the indigenous people of the Andes, who came from the interior to make their demands heard, especially the resignation of President Dina Boluarte, which has cost them fifty lives so far.
On the day of the anniversary, Lima showed what the provincials and not a few Lima residents accuse him of, his centralism, racism and discrimination, but also his supportive, empathetic and hospitable side.
On the one hand, the rector of the University of San Marcos, Jeri Ramón, expressed her dissatisfaction with the use of the campus taken by the students last night to house the protesters, even saying that the police should remove them, but The university council decided to set up a dialogue commission that met with the guests to take care of the facilities.
Another was the attitude of the National University of Engineering (UNI), Alfonso López Chau, who received and greeted the protesters along with the student leaders, noting in his speech that he was wearing the ribbon which, as a necklace, is the symbol of his authority as rector and uses them only on few and big occasions.
Meanwhile, commemorations continued with the traditional Te Deum by the Catholic Archbishop of Lima, Monsignor Carlos Castillo, who asked that Lima be seen “as a city of peace if we speak, if we speak, if we try.”
Along this path, he added, “appropriate conclusions would be reached that would allow us, with the endless number of interlocutors we have today, to take different paths to reorganize our life as a city at the service of all”. .
The events culminated in a solemn meeting of the municipal council, chaired by the recently elected conservative mayor, Rafael López Aliaga.
