Overview

• Student groups and transport leaders say the Oct. 15 mobilization will go ahead despite Congress removing Dina Boluarte on Oct. 9 and José Jerí assuming the presidency.
• Confirmed participants include Asotrani, the Alianza Nacional de Transportistas, the Asociación Nacional de Conductores, the San Marcos student federation (FUSM), the PUCP student federation (FEPUCP), the UNFV bloc, and the Agraria federation (FEUA).
• Demands focus on declaring an emergency for the transport sector, tougher action against extortion mafias and organized crime, and the repeal of Law No. 32108.
• The Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú has suspended in‑person classes for Oct. 15, shifting activities that can be held remotely to virtual formats.
• Organizers cite the armed attack on Agua Marina and police reports of roughly 80 slain drivers in Lima and Callao this year as catalysts, and Generación Z has also announced a separate protest for Oct. 12 rejecting Jerí’s government.
