Opposition politicians and human rights groups criticized the curfew imposed by the Castillo government on 5 April.[1][44] Verónika Mendoza, leader of the left-wing Together for Peru party, criticized the curfew, stating "The Government has not only betrayed the promises of change for which the people chose him, but now repeats the right-wing method of 'conflict resolution': ignoring those who mobilize expressing their legitimate discomfort with the economic and political situation, repressing, criminalizing and restricting rights".[3] Impeached president Martín Vizcarra called on Castillo to resign from office.[40] The Castillo government said that the curfew was justified due to intelligence reports of planned violence.[40][44]
