Overview
- Official visitor logs list Zhihua Yang entering the Government Palace on Dec. 12, Dec. 29 and Jan. 5, including a Dec. 29 meeting in the presidential office.
- Congress’s Oversight Commission has begun preliminary inquiries and requested documents to clarify the Dec. 26 encounter and the lack of formal registration.
- Security footage and reporting show Jerí arriving hooded and with a backpack in a presidential vehicle for the San Borja meeting, with minimal visible escort.
- Jerí acknowledged the off‑agenda meeting, said it was to coordinate activities for the Peru–China Friendship Day, denied wrongdoing and apologized for the perception it created.
- Political fallout escalated as Perú Libre announced a vacancia motion led by Segundo Montalvo, Somos Perú paused internal discipline after Jerí extended his party leave, and Fuerza Popular’s Patricia Juárez urged him to explain before Congress while rejecting removal efforts as opportunistic.
