They don’t forgive the president anything! Some national artists have come out to support citizens who raise their voices in protest. Who are they? We tell you everything.
Now you know who is who! Peru is experiencing one of its strongest political crises in recent years. Some of the news and images that we see on the screen remind us of the times of dictatorship and internal war that took place a few decades ago. Another of the things in which our situation is similar to the past is in the silence that artists keep for not causing speculation in their public, although there are some exceptions.
So far, the crisis has left more than fifty dead and, for that very reason, it is important that the leaders of the masses present their positions to ask for calm and demand, at the media level, a real dialogue between President Dina Boluarte, her ministers and indigenous leaders who are demanding what the authorities have long forgotten: listen to them. Next, we will tell you which show business characters are having participation in social networks giving their point of view on this delicate topic.
Gisela Ponce de Leon
The Lima actress Gisela Ponce de León heads the list of celebrities who do not endorse the oppressive behavior of the police, but neither does the strikers who show their most violent side. During all the days of protests in Lima, the also singer has been showing alternative information from the independent media and questioning her followers who do not think like her.
In fact, one of his latest stories on Instagram recounted the events that the students of the National University of San Marcos when they were arbitrarily detained in their house of studies. In addition, he replicated the song of a young lady with a message of reflection.
lucho caceres
The actor Lucho Cáceres, who is one of the most controversial due to his violent attitudes towards the reporters of entertainment programs, has also given his point of view, since he is very similar to the proposals that the citizens of Puno, Cusco, Arequipa, among other southern departments. On his official Instagram account, the Peruvian artist has shared content alluding to the marches that have been taking place since January 15.
In this way, he made a call for the first march on January 19 on behalf of all his co-workers. In the legend of the image you can read: “We are not terrorists and nobody encourages us. We will be there with our brothers from the south. It is one thing to be an ‘artist’ and another ‘a show business worker’. The artist, when he is one, cannot be indifferent to the pain of his people”.
Yarita Lizeth
The vernacular singer Yarita Lizeth was one of the first to speak out along with several of her colleagues and give all the logistical support that the citizens of Puno, her hometown, needed. She was so detached from her, that she lent her the bus with which she mobilizes for her presentations and provided donations of water and food so that her representatives could manage in the capital, as far as they went to make themselves heard .
She maintained that more than 50 deaths were not able to sensitize the authorities so that they set up a dialogue table between both parties. However, her solidarity did not end there, since after the police intervention on her compatriots on January 21, she made the decision to come and defend them: “Before being an artist, I am human, I am a person, I am a provincial girl, I am Aymara, I am from the mountains, I am from the town, I am from my land of Juliaca. Everything they have done with my people… They have sent me real audio recordings of the policemen who are unfairly mistreating my brothers (…), for that reason I am hurt, I am sad”. Finally, it was learned that she donated 50,000 soles for the Puno protesters.
Jason Day

It all started when on January 18, the famous wrote a message on his official Instagram account that said: “The ronderos, who defended the Andes from terrorist insanity, will march tomorrow (today) to defend the fair and free vote in the Andes. A sector of Lima people who understand very little about the country in which they live, try to invalidate them”. In addition, he added: “They wont be able. Neither with its exacerbated racism nor with shameful calls for a coup. In the country of all bloodlines, all vows are respected”.
Jelly Reategui
The talented actress Jelly Reátegui also showed her sensitivity and empathy with the people who are protesting in favor of the departure of President Dina Boluarte and, although she does not show her position in favor of them, she does ask for dialogue to stop the deaths in our country. In fact, on January 19, the day the central march in Lima took place, the artist and a group of colleagues had the presentation of a play, but they postponed it to make the social problem visible.
In this way, he made it clear how the national scenario not only affects businessmen in the food, agriculture and other sectors, but also the artistic situation, who are also paralyzed.
