LIMA: Peruvian President Dina Boluarte has said she would request expanded legislative powers and is open to reshaping a historically unpopular Congress as protesters renewed their demands for her to step down.

During an Independence Day speech in Lima, Boluarte said she would request legislative powers from Congress for 120 days to fight crime. She said she was open to reverting Congress to a two-chamber legislature from a single-chamber format.
