On January 19, the National Strike began in Peru and since then a series of protesters have blocked around 83 transportation routes throughout the entire national territory, as reported by the Superintendence of Land Transportation of People, Cargo and Merchandise (Sutran). In Lima, for example, a large group of dealers has already had several confrontations with police officers. However, a new announcement has called for a new march next Tuesday, January 24.
It is nothing less than a publication made on the official channel of the General Confederation of Workers of Peru (CGTP), which formalizes a meeting of the dealers in the Plaza Dos de Mayo of the Center of Lima that seeks the resignation of Dina Boluarte and the Board of Directors of the Congress.
