We urgently demand that the government restore and maintain order and the unblocking of roads,” the union said in a statement.
The producers’ union expressed two requests to the Executive.

In addition, Agap demanded that the National Prosecutor and the President of the Judiciary “fulfill their constitutional role of identifying and punishing in an exemplary manner all those guilty of these attacks against the country and democracy.”
“We call on all Peruvians, churches, universities, unions and other institutions to unite to achieve peace, dialogue, development and that the rule of law and internal order prevail,” said the union.
