This division of interpretations and objectives is consistent with opposing political identities that in one year have not managed to coordinate a minimally unified action. The spokespersons for these blocks activists and politicians come from harsh confrontations during the Castillo government. Citizens who oppose the government do not attend the marches because in them they encounter demands and leaders whom they radically oppose. These divisions were most visible in Lima an antiCastillo bastion where massive marches like those in other areas of the country did not take place. Much of the antiCastillism was also colored by a racism that described the protesters who arrived from the southern regions as ignorant . their ability to show significant numbers of protesters. In a centralist country like Peru the absence of large mobilizations in Lima was read by the authoritarian coalition as proof that the opposition was a minority.
A second factor is the reduction in the perception of effectiveness of Venezuela Email List protests. Since the transition to democracy in with the departure of the Fujimori regime protests have been quite effective in Peru. In the absence of institutions to channel demands protest in the streets was one of the main mechanisms to combat corruption pressure for the fulfillment of authorities promises and stop abuses. In of the population believed that the marches had an impact and therefore that same percentage indicated that they participated or were willing to participate in protests .

On the contrary Alberto Otrola politically responsible for the socalled Ayacucho massacre was appointed president of the Council of Ministers and Congress advanced its counterreforms. Institutions where allies could once be found were captured or weakened. From February to March the perception that the protests were going to lead to Boluartes resignation fell from to . This led at the same time to a large part of the population beginning to perceive that the gains from the protests were meager in relation to the costs they implied.
