Transport workers in Iquitos, Peru, initiated a strike and held a protest to demand government intervention regarding the rising cost of fuel. The demonstrators specifically called for a fuel subsidy to mitigate the financial impact of increased diesel prices on their operations.
The protest aims to prevent a subsequent increase in urban public transportation fares. The transport sector argues that the current fuel prices are unsustainable, necessitating state support to maintain existing service costs for the local population.
