Peru: 72-hour strike in Iquitos over fuel prices, power outages, illegal mining

Unions in Iquitos launched a 72-hour regional strike demanding government action on fuel price hikes, power outages, and illegal mining, despite recent agreements to expand subsidies for mototaxistas and multimodal transport. The strike signals persistent social unrest in the Loreto region, with potential for supply disruptions and political pressure on the central government. Uncertainty remains over the government's response and the strike's broader economic impact.
