Despite the fact that the regional strike was only for January 17 and 18, a group of “youths” picketed the highway that connects the cities of Huancayo and Huancavelica.
During the nights, they install a gate on the road, which they set on fire and demand that the carriers pay a “quota”.

Some are asked for “the soda”, others directly for “the drink”.
After receiving the coins, they open the gate on the side of the road and let the vehicle pass. As if that were not enough, these young people also urge drivers to abide by the strike against Dina Boluarte.
The drivers of the units, in order to continue on their way, give them coins between five and ten soles. This situation is observed in the town of Quimina.
