ON Thursday, October 10, several associations of transport workers and companies in Peru began a work stoppage that lasted until Saturday, October 12, protesting against rising crime and extortion by criminal groups in Peru’s major cities.
In their industrial action, they were joined by hundreds of people from trade and business associations, as well as some citizen and student organisations.
Why? The security crisis that Peruvians are experiencing is worsening significantly. In fact, this is the first time that protests of this type and for this reason have taken place in Peru, which shows the severity of the situation and the uncertain consequences that this type of demand could cause, politically speaking, in Peruvian society.
