Overview
- Generación Z organized marches for September 20 and 21 with a 5:00 p.m. gathering at Plaza San Martín and a planned route toward Congress.
- RPP reported thousands gathered on Saturday as roughly 1,000 police officers restricted access routes and blocked attempts to advance toward Government Palace and Parliament.
- Organizers argue the pension reform harms young workers with precarious jobs by forcing AFP or ONP affiliation and benefiting private administrators.
- Support broadened with unions and social collectives, including the teachers’ union Sutep and the Alianza Nacional de Transportistas, which publicly endorsed the cause.
- Spokesperson Wildar Lozano urged early arrival, adherence to established routes, and a peaceful, civic demonstration using placards and chants to amplify demands.
