Marino was appointed by Congress following the impeachment of former president Martine Vizcarra.

But after a week of some of Peru's largest protests in decades, Marino's departure leaves the country back in limbo and without a leader.

At this moment when the country is going through one of its greatest political crises, I want to announce to all the country that I present my irrevocable resignation of the post of the presidency off the republic.

I call for the peace and unity of all Peruvians.

Peruvians poured into the streets Sunday to celebrate Marino's departure, waving flags, chanting and banging pots.

But this past week has been far from a celebration.

Clashes between protesters and police in the streets have continued since Congress took a sudden vote last Monday to remove the Scada over bribery allegations.

Vis Kata, a political centrist, has been widely popular with Peruvians since being removed.

He's called Marino, a dictator installed by Congress and warned against allowing lawmakers toe once again determined who would become Peru's next leader.

Many of the demonstrators agreed the people did not choose you Marino stop with the repression.

Two young protesters had died from gunshot wounds in this week's clashes, according to state medical officials.

Peru's national human rights coordinator said over 100 people were injured, some after inhaling tear gas, and dozens were still missing.

The latest political shakeup comes as Peru faces what is expected to be its worst economic recession in a century from the global health crisis.

The country's next presidential elections are scheduled for April next year.
