Overview
- The Executive let the 15‑day promulgation window expire and returned the bill with observations citing fiscal responsibility, macroeconomic stability risks and potential distortion of the pension system under Article 108.
- Congress had approved the measure in a second vote with 66 in favor to set a S/3,300 minimum for retired and cesante teachers across DL 19990 and 20530, the Reforma Magisterial and private pension affiliates, with reports of about 162,000 beneficiaries.
- Many affected teachers currently receive S/400 to S/800, and bill promoter Flor Pablo criticized the Executive’s lengthy observations for offering no alternative proposal.
- The text now goes back to the Economy Commission and the Plenary, which can modify it per the Executive’s objections or approve it by insistence, enabling promulgation without the president’s signature.
- The SUTEP union rejected the move and is consulting a national strike with a decision expected at a delegates’ assembly this week, while its Ayacucho branch announced a preventive stoppage.
