Overview
- Transport companies from Callao, Ventanilla and Mi Perú carried out a regional stoppage that saw limited service, lighter passenger volumes and rallies at Ventanilla’s civic plaza and the Faucett–Venezuela junction.
- The Regional Government of Callao directed all schools to hold classes virtually for the day as a precaution during the protest.
- The action followed a Nov. 2 shooting attack on HRE Express vehicles that included a threatening demand for money, with no injuries reported.
- With Sinadef recording 165 homicides in Callao through Oct. 30, organizers called for police restructuring, specialized intelligence units and stronger patrols, and some demanded the removal of regional leader José Jerí.
- Related actions are scheduled this week, including a 24-hour transport halt on Nov. 4 by other groups, according to Martín Ojeda, and a Nov. 6 markets shutdown over insecurity and disputed Sedapal fines.
