“We must make a call to reflection to these gentlemen who, with good reason, are going out and are protesting peacefully, but blocking roads and not allowing these trucks that carry gas or fuel are already leaving the peaceful protest. We, through the Police, which is always at the service of the community (…) will be opening these roads so that these tankers with fuel and gas can arrive ”, said the president in a public activity carried out in an EsSalud establishment in Jesús María.
According to the Superintendence of Land Transportation of People, Cargo and Merchandise (Sutran), at noon this Tuesday, there are 94 blocked transit points that involve 8 regions of the country.
