The progressive social and political organizations called for a strike today to demand that the National Election Jury (JNE) officially proclaim Pedro Castillo as the next president of Peru.

Citizens also reject the selection of new judges for the Constitutional Court (TC), which is scheduled for Wednesday. These right-wing juries seek to take over the Parliament and declare null the June 6 elections.

Demonstrations will take place all over the country. However, each region will act according to its concrete reality. “While some provinces will make a massive strike, other regions will mobilize or organise sit-ins”, Peru's Front for Democracy and Governance (FDG) stated.

The FDG also highlighted the democratic and peaceful content of the upcoming protests, which will count with the support of the Workers' General Confederation and Free Peru party.
