Overview

• The stoppage, called by the International Chamber of Transport after the killing of Lipetsa driver Daniel José Cedeño Alfonso, saw broad but uneven adherence across Lima and Callao.
• Interior Minister Carlos Malaver urged caution on attributing the San Juan de Miraflores killing to extortion, a stance criticized by transport leaders who insist the violence is linked to criminal rackets.
• A Santa Catalina driver was shot and left in critical condition in San Juan de Lurigancho during the protest, with police opening an investigation into the attack.
• Blockades and clashes on Av. Túpac Amaru in Carabayllo prompted ATU to temporarily suspend Metropolitano feeder routes Torre Blanca and Carabayllo, as some groups burned tires and a detainee and one injury were reported.
• Authorities reinforced patrols under the Plan Amanecer Seguro, schools shifted to virtual classes and many universities suspended in-person sessions, while Metro Line 1 reported heavy demand and some buses circled with doors closed as a symbolic action.
