Overview
- The Municipalidad Metropolitana de Lima approved Ordenanza N.° 2830 to extend the metropolitan emergency in public security for 60 days, with the measure taking effect on June 21, 2026.
- The extension continues a legal regime first declared by Ordenanza N.° 2776 on October 24, 2025 and previously extended by Ordenanza N.° 2806, based on evaluations by municipal security and legal commissions.
- The city issued Resolución de Subgerencia N.° D002618-2026-MML-GMU-SER to restore vehicular circulation inside the Centro Histórico from 00:00 on June 21, ending the temporary closures that had blocked key avenues and forced passengers and vulnerable pedestrians to walk long distances.
- Municipal statements and multiple reports say the Police Nacional del Perú will keep a visible presence and retain authority to carry out targeted controls or localized road closures for security, public order and transit reasons.
- The municipality invokes the 2023 Acuerdo de Concejo N.° 026 that designates the historic center as an 'intangible' zone for political demonstrations and warns it will apply existing sanctions and legal tools to protect UNESCO‑listed heritage and public order.
