- Sutep announced it will mobilize nationwide, with leader Lucio Castro urging repeal of Law 32123 and pressing for prompt promulgation of a teachers’ pension increase already approved by Congress.
- The Alianza Nacional de Transportistas confirmed it will join the demonstrations, citing discontent with the government and pension policy.
- Regional actions are planned, including a plantón in Huancayo on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. in the Plaza de la Constitución called by the Comando Unitario de Lucha de Junín.
