Demonstrators in Peru blocked the highly strategic Carretera Panamericana, the Pan-American Highway which stretches across the entire Americas and runs north–south through the whole length of Peru and connects all major cities in the country's coastal area.

The massive traffic jams left several trucks and suburban passengers, including vehicles carrying livestock hanging in an eight-hour-long tailback.

Since ousted President Pedro Castillo has been impeached following his decision to dissolve right-leaning Congress, enraged peruvians have been taking the streets to voice their opposition to Castillo's arrest and for newly sworn-in President Dina Boluarte to resign.

Yesterday, the Agro-Rural Front of Peru, which groups about a dozen organizations, rural unions, and organizations with a wide indigenous base are calling for an "indefinite strike" to be launched on Tuesday to demand the total suspension of congress, fresh elections, a new constitution, and Castillo's immediate release. 

The Rural Front further insists that Castillo "did not perpetrate a coup d'etat" on Wednesday, adding that they have also declared Popular Insurgence against the "neo-fascist" coup d'état by Congress. They announced a National Shutdown on 13-14 December and a National day of "strife" on 15 December.
