Patience is over. The outrage will overflow this September 20 and 21, when thousands of young people, groups and guilds go out against the regime of Dina Boluarte and the Congress of the Republic. The calls have taken strength in social networks and in the streets, adding to unions, transporters and citizen organizations that reject pension reform and the deterioration of democracy in Peru.
The mobilizations have been baptized as the march of generation Z, a movement that seeks to shake the political order with symbols of rebellion and with the strength of a youth tired of corruption and impunity. From Lima to regions such as Cusco, Arequipa and Trujillo, the calls to the protest aim to become a new breakdown against a government that was never chosen at the polls and a parliament that legislates back to the people.
The call is not isolated. It adds to the wave of demonstrations that already had a first pulse last week, although with limited assistance. Now, the support of carriers, the teaching and various labor guilds seeks to give greater forcefulness to the day. The message is clear: it is not just about pension funds, but about the dignity, employment and future of a country governed by elites insensitive to the reality of the majority.
The spark that ignited this protest was Law 32123, approved by Congress with the support of Boluarte, which openly favors the AFPs and cuts the rights of affiliates. To this is added citizen insecurity, the rise in the cost of living and persistent corruption in high spheres. All this has generated an explosive cultivation broth, where youth is assumed as the protagonist of a struggle that seeks to recover the voice of citizenship in the street.

The Z generation, which in Nepal starred historical mobilizations against abuse of power, has become a reference for Peruvian young people. Increase with resistance symbols circulates social networks, such as the Pirate Mugiwara flag: a banner with a straw hat skull, taken from the anime One Piece, which already waved in international protests. For many, this march represents the beginning of a generational awakening against the indifference of political elites.
Organizing groups have made it clear that the protest is not limited to an ideological sector. University, workers, neighborhood organizations and social groups that see in this mobilization an opportunity to demand deep change. The call has been viralized, breaking the barriers of traditional parties and directly appealing to citizen indignation.

Although Peru’s political conditions are not the same as in Nepal, accumulated discomfort is a fertile terrain for these protests to grow. The discredit of Boluarte, which governs without popular legitimacy, and a congress controlled by private interests, has opened a space for young people to mark the pattern of social resistance.
The representative of the ‘Generation Z’ group, Wildalr Lozano, said that the mobilization has been raised as a peaceful protest, far from any act of vandalism or violence. He pointed out that the group’s commitment is that citizen pressure in the streets is expressed in an orderly manner, although he warned that they have no absolute control over what may happen, since there are risks of infiltrates that try to distort the march.
“To remind all people who are going to participate in the march that this is a totally peaceful march. We do not seek, we do not believe as a group, that doing things of vandalism we will achieve things, we consider that a peaceful march is the best. It should Totally peaceful, “he said.

Guilds and groups add strength to mobilization
The support of guilds has given greater scope to the call. Transporters announced that they will join the mobilizations, denouncing the lack of measures against the crisis in the sector. SUTEP has also confirmed its participation, noting that the fight is not only for pensions, but for the right to a more fair and safe country for all.
Various citizen groups, such as Citizen Voice, young leaders for Peru and Keikonova and Transportista Alliance have reinforced the calls to concentrate on San Martín Square from 5:00 pm The march itinerary includes moving towards Congress, where a strong police protection is expected. Despite this, organizations insist that the protest will be peaceful, although they do not rule out that repression is imposed again, as in previous manifestations.
Julio Campos, representative of the ‘Transportist Alliance’ ‘Guild’ indicated that they will be present to support young people in their initiative, highlighting that the protest has a legitimate and necessary character against the current political scenario. “Tomorrow we are in the Plaza San Martín, from four in the afternoon we are all arriving, there we will also be accompanying the young people who have summoned, giving them all the back, because it is fair and necessary,” he said.
The articulation of these forces shows a discomfort that can no longer be contained by official speeches. Citizenship not only questions an unpopular reform, but the continuity of a regime that is sustained based on dark pacts and political shields. The march of September 20 and 21 is emerging, thus, as an essay of what could be a broader mobilizations cycle, capable of shaking the foundations of power.

Youth closely follows what happens with Delia Espinoza
The organizers of the march have made it clear that their outrage is not limited to the rejection of Boluarte and Congress, but also to the defense of the few authorities that they consider legitimate. In its public messages, generation Z has identified the prosecutor of the Nation, Delia Espinoza, as a key figure in the fight against corruption and the co -cooling of institutions by criminal networks.
The collective said that Espinoza’s permanence is a symbol of resistance in the middle of a state overwhelmed by dark pacts and political shields. Therefore, they warn that an eventual attempt to remove it from the National Board of Justice would not only be interpreted as a direct aggression to fiscal independence, but as a provocation that could even more intensify citizen mobilization.
“This 20 21 is a sample of how strong we can do if we are together. For this reason we want to provide our support to the prosecutor of the Nation, which is fighting daily to survive in this state where all institutions have been covered by organized crime we want to tell the National Board of Justice that you do not even dare to take out the nation’s prosecutor because things will be worse. Prosecutor of the Nation, Delia Espinoza, we are heard.
By supporting the prosecutor, young people seek to make a difference with the elites that control the state apparatus. For them, Espinoza’s fate is a thermometer of the true will to change in the country. If the institutions yield to the pressures of political power, ensure that the streets will respond more strongly, because the outrage no longer admits setbacks.
