Overview

• The PCM confirmed a unified working group for today at 8:30 a.m. at the Government Palace with the Executive, Congress and Lima–Callao transport unions, with a broader follow‑up session set for October 14.
• After the October 6 stoppage was lifted, union leaders warned they could halt services again if killings or extortion attacks continue, pressing authorities for immediate protections.
• Officials said the protests target organized crime rather than the administration, with the PNP prioritizing anti‑extortion operations; the premier questioned declaring an emergency, while the Interior Minister did not rule it out.
• Business and transport groups demanded urgent protection, intelligence‑led crackdowns and legal changes, including calls to repeal Law 3208, and urged the government to present medium‑ and long‑term plans on October 14.
• The CCL estimated around S/100 million in losses from the stoppage, with Gamarra reporting about S/3 million and Mesa Redonda about S/15 million; President Dina Boluarte tied rising crime to illegal immigration and a congresswoman sought the Interior Minister’s resignation.
