“We want to work quietly” reads a sign attached to a bus from the Lipetsa company Standing in the middle of the Pan -American, at the height of the pedestrian bridge of the Palao Tap, in San Martín de Porres. Several Block parked buses They show a similar slogan, cutting traffic in the direction from north to south. The protest measure leaves a clear message for all, except for those who should be responsible for attending the clamor behind this request: the government. This line also known as “The triangle” lost one of his chocals on last Saturday, October 4.
Daniel Cedeño Alfonso, 40, was shot by two motorcycle criminals. Although he was transferred to Maria Auxiliadora hospital, doctors could only verify his death. The case quickly generated the rejection, indignation and overflow due to the situation of insecurity that is lived. A death is not just a number, a cassicate case does not bring with it a single murderer. While different public transport lines were organized to comply with a struggle measure this Monday, October 6, the government soon shows its most indolent side.

“They cannot so happily or so quickly, please say that simply at the death of someone can be the strike strike,” Minister Malaver began in an infamous pronouncement last Sunday. Far from trying to calm the situation, he delegitim the protest and tried to divert the cause of murder to a passionate crime. “The victim is of Venezuelan nationality […] His wife is of Venezuelan nationality, they are separated and in the process of divorce and that is why we cannot venture, “he added. His words instead of discouraging, accentuated repudiation and ran out in a motor blackout Monday morning.
BUSES OF THE LINES EL FAST, LORITOS, LIPESSSA, LA 50, LAS ÁGILAS, SANTA CRUZ, SANTA CATALINA, MACHU PICCHU, Santo Cristo de Pachacamilla and EUTPSA 73 were some of the companies that paralyzed their operations. In Comas, for more than 2 hours, the transit at the height of block 36 of Túpac Amaru Avenue was blocked. This avenue has dyed blood on countless occasions and has witnessed cases of sicariato against chóferes and collectors. It is no stranger, therefore, that the buses of the rapid have stuck messages with the slogan: “My family awaits me, not a funeral”, along with photos of his murdered colleagues.
The point of greatest impact of motor off was blocks before arriving at the Habich bridge. Police had to contain carriers, while other vehicles deviated auxiliary roads. Despite being in different sectors: San Juan de Miraflores, San Juan de Lurigancho, Carabayllo or Puente Nuevo, the demand was shared. “Not one more dead: Executive Branch, Legislative Power and Judicial Branch, we want to live,” says with white paint on the windshield of a bus of the transport company “Loritos” that covers the ATE-Ventanilla route. The carriers ask for solutions and are aware of who are responsible for the situation of disgust in security.

However, the maximum expression of indifference rests on the person responsible for the government. The president of the Republic, Dina Boluarte, given the massive presence of carriers in the streets resorted to a “call for reflection” that minimized the protest measure. “The murders of his co -workers also hurts us as a government, so we are giving the fight every day, our police are on the street every day, but a 24 or 48 -hour strike, transporter brother, does not solve and will not solve the problem, we all have to add,” he said from the headquarters of the Coen, in Chorrillos.
Even, demonstrating its inefficiency to face a crisis and the lack of planning to solve the problem of insecurity, slid their proposal to end extortion, claiming the drivers who do not answer the calls or extortion messages. “The complaints that reach the cell phones of those extortionists, to the citizens in general, do not open those calls, do not open those messages, but what they do have to do is write down the number that your cell phone has entered, contact that does not have it registered as part of the board, do not respond, but do account to the police, of those numbers or whatsapp of those who are sending messages,” he said.
While the president left this message, both in Habich and in Puente Nuevo Carriers were prevented from moving forward to the center of Lima. His goal was to arrive in Caravan to Congress to make his claim. In San Juan de Lurigancho, the buses known as the 10E also mobilized along Próceres Avenue seeking to take Abancay Avenue. Meanwhile, in San Juan de Miraflres, for the Atocongo bridge, Omnibus of line 73 blocked both senses of the tracks.
But the paralysis, blocking and protest widely covered and registered, never existed under the perspective of one of the authorities with the greatest responsibility of this sector. The Minister of Transportation, in orchestra with the message of the president, managed to say that the unemployment was “partial”, that in other areas people were “mobilizing” and that “stopping the service does not solve the problem.” His words seemed taken from the mouth of Dina Boluarte herself. As if this were not not enough, hours later, César Sándoval would appear in an event launching an urban mobility service.
From the police it soon arrives criminalization to the carriers. The general commander of the PNP, Óscar Arriola, said that the protest measure was no longer a motor off, because it had to be done within the bus terminals themselves. Given this, he warned that the crime of disturbance in flagrance would be committed and that they would have to “act.” The Republic was able to demonstrate the presence of Terna Police in the demonstration areas.
