• The Ministry of Economy and Finance reports 58.4% execution of the works budget, placing La Libertad 12th of 25 regional governments.
• Health-sector commitments such as full first-level coverage, adequate staffing and equipment, ambulances and an air ambulance remain unfulfilled, according to the local Medical College.
• Education promises fell short, highlighted by deteriorated facilities that halted in-person classes at Trujillo’s Mariano Melgar school and the unfulfilled plan to provide footwear to all initial and primary students.
• Security pledges including a regional guard and a criminalistics lab are pending, while the Huanchaco access road awarded to a consortium led by Lucero Coca is under Fiscalía investigation, as APP officials defend the administration citing planned hires, hospital projects and police equipment purchases.
