Overview
- The Congressional Consumer Defense Commission will reconvene a working session on Petroperú after top cabinet officials missed the initial hearing.
- The panel expects the prime minister, the energy and economy ministers, Petroperú’s president and an Osinergmin representative to attend, with the date still pending.
- Invited officials sent explanations, requested a rescheduling, and signaled willingness to appear at the next session.
- Participants offered sharply different assessments of the decree and the company’s outlook, with some warning of privatization risks and others stressing Petroperú’s strategic role and liquidity problems rather than insolvency.
- Perú Libre congressman Segundo Montalvo announced a motion to remove President José Jerí over the measure and is preparing the filing while seeking the 33 signatures required.
