Overview
- Transport leaders confirmed a nationwide stoppage for January 15, with Lima and Callao urban operators planning to halt service and send a commission to the presidential palace and Congress.
- President José Jerí said his administration is executing the security plan previously offered to the sector and assigned the Interior Ministry to maintain talks with union leaders.
- Julio Campos of the National Transport Alliance disputed recent contact with the Executive and said unions will not negotiate unless so‑called pro‑crime laws are repealed.
- Industry representatives reported that extortion fees that began at S/5–10 in 2024 have risen, with attempts to charge up to S/30 in 2026, and that demands have intensified over the past two weeks.
- Jerí suggested criminal groups appear to act in a synchronized manner to destabilize the government, framing the motive as part of his response to the planned strike.
