Overview
- The Pleno will hold a two-hour interpelation of Interior Minister César Astudillo starting at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 17, with the minister required to answer a 27-question pliego.
- The written questions focus on citizen security and the Ministry of the Interior's response to rising extortion, sicariato, homicides, kidnappings, and the Policía Nacional del Perú’s operational capacity.
- The pliego asks Astudillo to explain his ties to businesswoman Susana Liliana Saldaña Ramos and his decision to keep ex‑Comandante General Óscar Arriola in office while investigations are pending.
- Debate time will be split proportionally among the six parliamentary groups with no extra minutes for any bancada, concentrating scrutiny into the fixed two-hour window.
- At the same time Prime Minister Luis Galarreta and several ministers met with the Juntos por el Perú bancada to justify a 120-day delegation of legislative faculties that eight congressional committees have already partly rejected and that could determine the executive’s ability to push security measures.
