Peru Braces for Nov. 14 Security March as Transport Support Splits

Government talks with regional transport leaders have narrowed the expected impact to Lima and Callao.

Overview

  • Generation Z and segments of the transport sector have called a nationwide mobilization on Friday to denounce insecurity and extortion, with anger sharpened by the October killing of Eduardo “Truko” Ruiz.
  • Several regional transport guilds said they will not join the strike after meeting President José Jerí, presenting a security plan featuring redes cooperantes, taxi cívico, mototaxis en acción, logistics and tourism corridors, and an ojos y oídos monitoring system.
  • Participation is expected mainly in Lima and Callao, with actions announced by groups including ASOTRANI and marches toward Congress, and potential disruptions along corridors and districts such as Ancón, Puente Piedra, Carabayllo, Independencia, Comas, Villa El Salvador, San Juan de Miraflores, Villa María del Triunfo, and Lurín.
  • Reports differ on timing, with ASOTRANI citing a 5:00 a.m. start and other guidance pointing to an 8:00 a.m. kickoff.
  • The Education Ministry confirmed classes will run normally nationwide, and regional education offices may apply flexible entry or temporary remote measures if access to schools is affected.
