PERU: CGTP National Council Condemns the Attack on the Home of CGTP President

The General Confederation of Workers of Peru (CGTP) expresses its most vigorous condemnation of the explosive attack carried out on the morning of March 18 at the residence of our president, Luis Villanueva Carbajal, who also serves as the general secretary of the Federation of Workers in Civil Construction of Peru Peru ( FTCCP ). This criminal act is part of the advancement of organized crime, which has claimed the lives of 26 union leaders in recent years, seriously affecting the safety and exercise of labor rights in the country.

In the face of this serious situation, the CGTP demands the Ministry of the Interior, Public Ministry, Judiciary and the National Police of Peru to adopt urgent and effective measures to identify and punish those responsible, as well as the strengthening of security strategies that guarantee the life and integrity of union leaders and workers in general. Impunity only encourages new acts of violence that attack democracy and the right to union organization.

The CGTP reaffirms its commitment to defending labor rights and fighting against all forms of violence and intimidation towards the working class. We demand a comprehensive security policy that faces firm and decisively the action of organized crime. Safety and justice for the workers of Peru!
