Masked protesters filled the central square in front of the old government palace in the historic centre of the capital. They carried signs with slogans including "I would rather die as a rebel than live as a slave" and "Giammattei out." Sunday's peaceful protests came the day after demonstrators partially burned down the Congress building. In his statement, Giammattei urged dialogue with different sectors to analyze the situation, since "it is only through dialogue and concentration... that our country will be able to overcome the challenges it faces today." The University of San Carlos, the only state-run university in the country, called for a national strike on Monday.
