The protests and acts of vandalism are still present. For the president of the Lima Chamber of Commerce (CCL), Rosa Bueno, if internal order is not restored, there will be no economic recovery for Peru.
It should be noted that, for the country to generate employment, the economy needs to advance more than 4%. However, in 2022 the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) would have grown less than 2.9%, according to the Central Reserve Bank.
The union representative, who met with President Dina Boluarte yesterday, stated that without a solid democracy and without security “it is not possible to have an adequate business climate.”
The Association of Exporters (ADEX), meanwhile, sent a statement to show their support for the Police and the Armed Forces, but also called for dialogue and commitment to find a solution to the problem.

Another union that spoke out was the National Society of Mining, Oil and Energy, which expressed its rejection “of the attempt to institutionalize blackmail and anarchy” and called for the end of “the immunity of violent people.”
“We must not allow Peruvians to continue being affected by the violence and polarization that only divides us,” he said.
DATA
The CCL presented to President Dina Boluarte 15 proposals related to political reform.
One of those proposals is related to formality, which, as he explained, will help close the inequality gaps that exist in the country.
