In September 2021, leaders of the SNI, the Union of Multimodal Transport Guilds of Peru (UGTRANM), political leaders, and other business executives began to meet as the "Brotherhood of Pisco" and planned various actions, including funding transportation strikes in order to destabilize the government of Pedro Castillo and prompt his removal.
