Fujimori Marks 100 Days Saying Security Has Improved but Pace Was Slow

Prime Minister Luis Galarreta says private talks with lawmakers aim to secure powers that would speed policy delivery.

Overview

  • Fujimori issued a 100-day balance in a public message and said the government could have moved faster while reporting that daily killings fell from 7.5 to 6.5.
  • Galarreta defended the early record on Friday, saying the administration has moved farther than recent predecessors and rejecting rumors of imminent cabinet changes.
  • The government says it has begun operational work on priorities such as climate resilience and a unified security command despite not yet receiving delegated legislative faculties.
  • Officials blame delays on bureaucratic steps such as projects stuck in the Council of Viceministers and say the executive is holding private talks with deputies and senators to improve ties with Congress.
  • If Congress approves the pending powers and decrees, the government says it could accelerate programs that back police and the armed forces and expand infrastructure work to protect vulnerable communities from El Niño risks.
