Overview
- The Energy and Mines Commission approved the dictamen 17–3, with one abstention, to extend Reinfo to December 31, 2027, suspend exclusion procedures, enable reconsideration of roughly 50,000 removed registrants, and propose a national MAPE census.
- Prime Minister Ernesto Álvarez said the Executive has not set a position and will decide in the Council of Ministers, noting it could observe the law and consider a Constitutional Court challenge if reinstatements pass.
- Energy and Mines Minister Luis Bravo said the Executive will await the Pleno decision and that any return of excluded operators would require case-by-case technical review rather than automatic reinstatement.
- Small and artisanal miners mobilized in Lima and vowed to remain until passage and promulgation; police partially closed Avenida Abancay to contain marches near Congress.
- Congress President Fernando Rospigliosi said the text is still under redaction and not on the immediate agenda, indicated only about 2,000 of the 50,000 exclusions were appealed, as some lawmakers push to fast-track and business guilds publicly reject the extension.
