Electoral Body Orders Congress Leaders to Respond Over Use of Official Camera at Fujimori Rally

The request frames a possible breach of state neutrality during the 2026 election period.

Overview

  • The JEE Pacasmayo issued Resolution No. 97-2025 requiring Fernando Rospigliosi and Giovanni Forno to file explanations within one calendar day over a Congress-owned camera seen at Keiko Fujimori’s Oct. 30 event in Trujillo.
  • A fiscal report attributes functional responsibility to both officials for failing to prevent misuse of public equipment, describing an administrative infraction by omission that could trigger sanctions and referral to the JNE or prosecutors.
  • Images showed the device labeled as Congress property with inventory markings, and the staffer who operated it resigned, which the JEE notes does not preclude administrative or criminal liability.
  • Inside Congress, Ruth Luque’s censure push targeting Rospigliosi has not gathered the signatures needed for admission, as several caucuses resist removal and others prefer an internal investigation first.
  • Rospigliosi dismisses the censure effort as a political campaign, maintains the incident was the act of a worker under investigation, and legislators such as Alejandro Cavero argue that a censure would be premature without official findings.
