Tragedy Strikes in Trujillo
“Congress’ assault on the rule of law has left millions of Peruvians more exposed to the threats of organized crime,” stated Juanita Goebertus, highlighting the growing concerns surrounding safety in Peru.
This statement comes in the wake of a nightclub bombing in Trujillo, where about 33 people were injured, including three minors aged 16 and 17. At least five individuals are reported to be in serious condition following the attack.
The incident is part of a troubling trend in Trujillo, which saw a total of 136 explosions throughout 2025, reflecting a significant rise in violence linked to organized crime. The Peruvian government had previously implemented a 30-day state of emergency in Lima in October 2025 to combat this escalating crisis.
In 2025, homicides in Peru increased by nearly 15 percent compared to the previous year, with nearly 2,200 homicides related to organized crime reported. This alarming rise in violence has left many citizens feeling vulnerable.
