Overview
- Transport companies in Callao, Ventanilla and Mi Perú staged a regional stoppage on Monday that was only partially observed, with reduced buses and light passenger flow on routes such as Av. Néstor Gambetta.
- The Callao education authority shifted all schools to virtual classes for the day, citing safety concerns during the protests and warning families to follow official communications.
- Unions point to a surge in violence—including the Oct. 28 killing of driver José Johnny Esqueche Ningles and a recent armed attack on HRE Express vehicles—as Sinadef data show 165 homicides in Callao through Oct. 30.
- Transportistas Unidos and Conet Perú reaffirmed a 24‑hour “engine shutdown” for Tuesday, naming multiple lines that plan to halt service, while at least eight other gremios and the main urban transport chamber said they will not join.
- Amid the split, Conet Perú leader Julio Rau Rau labeled dissenting leaders “traitors” and warned of tough actions, as formal guilds highlighted ongoing talks and a new PNP anti‑extortion unit; market federations separately called a nationwide closure for Nov. 6.
