Overview

• After a live interview at Radio La Decana in Juliaca, a crowd gathered outside and threw objects as Phillip Butters attempted to leave.
• Butters sheltered inside the station for hours until additional officers with shields formed a cordon that enabled his escorted exit.
• Images and reports described eggs, stones and other projectiles, and Butters said a police-provided helmet helped prevent injury.
• The Avanza País caucus issued an official communiqué condemning the aggression and expressing solidarity with its presidential precandidate.
• Keiko Fujimori and Avanza País lawmakers denounced the attack and urged a contest of ideas, while Butters accused interview participants of acting as agitators and called it political intimidation; no arrests or investigative updates were reported.
