The indigenous sector tried to assassinate the president, whose vehicle was attacked on Tuesday (7), allegedly shot during a protest against the government, said Defense Minister Gian Carlo Loffredo on Wednesday (8). “The level of aggression with which the entourage was attacked denotes that this was a clear attempt to murder and an act of terrorism against the president,” Loffredo told the channel Teleamazonas.
