Overview

  • On his first day, Jerí convened top Armed Forces and National Police commanders to coordinate actions against criminality.
  • He later met the judiciary’s president and the interim attorney general to reaffirm plans to strengthen “flagrancia” units for faster, coordinated responses.
  • The U.S. Embassy pledged to work productively with Jerí on urgent priorities and voiced support for Peru’s democratic institutions ahead of the 2026 elections.
  • Business groups urged the naming of a capable, integrity-based and technically qualified cabinet, as markets showed minimal immediate volatility and Jerí has yet to appoint a prime minister or economic team.
  • Critics questioned the transition’s legitimacy and flagged prior allegations against Jerí, while prosecutors scheduled confrontations involving former president Dina Boluarte in a laundering case for October 27–28.
