Overview
- Miguel Torres, who spoke Thursday, framed the first 100 days of Keiko Fujimori’s government as a return of state presence and a period of order reaching regions across Peru.
- Torres issued an explicit autocrítica for Congress’s slow response to problems from the recent return to bicameralism and said the legislature must become more agile to resolve procedural snags.
- The legislature identified and returned S/303 million to the public treasury after finding funds earmarked for pickup trucks and patrol vehicles.
- Torres backed budget rules that would curb ceremonial spending to redirect money toward El Niño preparedness and urged public bodies to review and reprioritize their expenditures.
- He pointed to concrete fixes already made, such as a fe de erratas on a delegation-of-powers law, and called for further regulatory and efficiency adjustments so bicameral operations can stabilize and provide predictability for citizens and investors.
