Yesterday, various social organizations and transport unions resumed protests scheduled for November 13, 14, and 15, related to the increase in insecurity and extortion in the country.
These demonstrations coincide with the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) Leaders’ Summit, organized by the Peruvian government, which will host 21 economies that represent almost two-thirds of the world’s GDP and half of global trade. Among the most important leaders who will attend are Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Joe Biden.
The Government’s response to these new protests has been questionable, especially due to the improvised decision to cancel in-person classes in Metropolitan Lima, Callao, and Huaral in the previous days.
