Overview
- ANITRA says 460 urban transport companies will suspend service, while Coordinadora leaders estimate about 10,000 vehicles will stop operating.
- The action will include a march to Congress and a coordinated “engine shutoff” at multiple gathering points across the capital.
- Unions demand a multi‑agency elite unit drawn from the National Police, Public Ministry and Judiciary with integrity controls such as Comptroller oversight, SUNAT asset reviews and regular polygraphs.
- Sector leaders cite pervasive extortion and targeted killings, with ANITRA reporting 46 drivers slain in the past year and alleging involvement of corrupt police elements.
- Authorities outline contingencies, with the ATU preparing route diversions and the Education Ministry evaluating virtual classes, as organizers warn the protest could escalate if unmet.
