Overview
- The Metropolitan Municipality of Lima published Ordinance No. 2830 on Saturday, June 20, 2026, extending the city’s security emergency for 60 days and setting the measure to take effect on June 21.
- The extension continues the emergency framework first declared by Ordinance No. 2776 in October 2025 and later prolonged by Ordinance No. 2806 after reviews by metropolitan security and legal commissions.
- City authorities imposed a vehicle-access restriction polygon in the Cercado de Lima ahead of a June 19 mobilization to prevent possible violence, a move that has left buses stranded and forced many pedestrians to walk long distances.
- Mayor Renzo Reggiardo said the access restrictions could be lifted before the originally planned midnight deadline on June 22, creating the possibility of a near-term operational change.
- Residents and businesses face immediate mobility and commerce disruptions, and officials must publish the ordinance in El Peruano and the municipal transparency portal so citizens can track how the extended powers are used and when access limits change.
