The protests in January and early February were marked by the Juliaca massacre, the intervention of the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, and the so-called "taking of Lima."

In Lima, the participation of various groups that until Phone Number List had remained on the sidelines was activated. The No a Keiko collective, for example, and various student networks and university organizations in Lima joined the marches. Meanwhile, thousands of protesters from the provinces, especially from the south, raised funds to be able to travel and reinforce the protest in Lima, an old necessity in a country as centralized as Peru.

In this context, the brutal intervention at the University of San Marcos, where 200 protesters from the south who were staying on campus were arbitrarily detained, further galvanized the protests in Lima and international attention to the Peruvian authoritarian drift.16.
