Overview
- ATSUPER, which represents more than 100 formal operators in Lima and Callao, called a “hombre-máquina” mobilization involving drivers and vehicles.
- Protesters plan to gather at Plaza Dos de Mayo or Plaza San Martín and march through the historic center to Congress and the Government Palace.
- Organizers are pressing for the implementation of Law No. 32490, which establishes preventive measures and compensation for families of slain drivers.
- The coalition also demands activation of the GIES interagency unit, saying it is not functioning despite being designed to coordinate the PNP, Judiciary and Prosecutor’s Office.
- Police have linked recent driver homicides to groups including “La Nueva Federación” and reported arrests, while transport leaders call the state response inadequate and fault the government and Congress.
