                                                <img src="cid:ii_ld2dx0d70" alt="image.png" width="392" height="222"><br><p>On Thursday, 
thousands of citizens who are marching from all regions of Peru to Lima 
will join the general strike called by the General Confederation of 
Workers (CGTP).</p>                                                       
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                 
<p>They demand the resignation of President Dina Boluarte, the immediate
 call for general elections, and the holding of a Constituent Assembly.</p>                                                       
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>To prevent the 
Indigenous peoples, workers, farmers, and students from reaching the 
capital city, the regime's security forces are implementing preventive 
measures such as checking the entry of vehicles into Lima. This is 
happening, for example, at the tolls of the highways.</p>                                                 
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>The Prosecutor's 
Office and the National Police are also verifying the entry of the 
dozens of buses from regions such as Puno, Cuzco, Apurimac, Ayacucho, 
and Arequipa.</p>                                                 
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                 
<p>Despite the unconstitutional restrictions on citizen mobility, the 
purpose of the people is to arrive in Lima and meet at 2 de Mayo Square 
starting at 4:00 p.m. local time.</p>                                                     
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>On Monday, the Police
 also tried to prevent the National People's Assembly (ANP) from being 
held by surrounding the building where the workers were summoned.</p>                                                     
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>"The national strike 
will be carried out forcefully... They don't want this big strike to 
take place," CGTP Deputy Secretary Gustavo Minaya said, recalling that 
the protest is fueled by outrage over the deaths caused by the Boluarte 
regime.</p>                                                       
                                        
                                                                
                                            
                                                 
                                                
                                                <p>Demonstrations broke 
out on Dec. 8, 2022, after the removal by Congress of then-President 
Pedro Castillo. So far, around 50 fatalities have been reported due to 
violent repression.</p>
