How did Peruvians respond?

Many condemned Mr Castillo's attempt to dissolve Congress and described the move as "autocratic".

They compared it to the 1992 "autogolpe", the Spanish word meaning "self-coup", which is used to describe the actions of President Alberto Fujimori, who successfully dissolved Congress and the judiciary with the backing of the military.

And while there was widespread relief that Mr Castillo had not succeeded, there is also unease about what will happen next.

Discontent with Congress remains pervasive and there have been violent protests in which demonstrators have called for fresh general elections.
