Overview
- Confemin staged a second day of demonstrations outside Peru’s Congress in Lima after shifting plans to avoid the Señor de los Milagros procession, with brief blockages on Av. Abancay contained by police.
- Congressman Guido Bellido formally asked the Energy and Mines Commission to add his proposal to today’s 2:30 p.m. session agenda for discussion of a Reinfo extension to June 30, 2029.
- Other bills on the table include Wilson Quispe’s plan to extend the registry through December 31, 2028 with temporary reincorporation of excluded operators, Roberto Sánchez’s one‑year extension to December 31, 2026, and PL 12727 to June 30, 2029.
- Protest leaders demand scrapping Supreme Decree 012‑2025 and reinstating roughly 50,000 miners removed from Reinfo, alongside calls to revert idle mining concessions.
- The previous government signaled it would not grant new blanket extensions, and Confemin says mobilizations will continue unless the new minister reopens talks, as business group Comex Perú presses Congress to restore police powers over explosives and address illegal mining harms.
