JEE Finds César Acuña Violated Neutrality as Peru Signs Majes Siguas Deal and Surco Clash Triggers Legal Action

The ruling heightens pre‑election scrutiny by sending the case to prosecutors, the audit office and the La Libertad regional council.

Overview

  • Citing Resolution No. 00278-2025, the JEE of Trujillo concluded Acuña used an official October 2 event in Víctor Larco for partisan promotion and ordered referrals to the Ministerio Público, Contraloría and the La Libertad regional council.
  • Acuña now has five firm neutrality violations and 14 open investigations across multiple JEE jurisdictions, as the JNE’s October 13 resignation deadline for 2026 candidates approaches.
  • The Surco municipality reported crews were attacked with bricks and metal objects during an October 11 intervention at a property linked to congresswoman María Acuña and will file a criminal complaint against owner Los Alisos EIRL for alleged obstruction and usurpation.
  • Peru and Japan signed a state-to-state contract to modernize the Majes Siguas irrigation system, with Midagri and the PMO Majes Siguas consortium formalizing technical assistance to upgrade dams, intakes, tunnels and canals to boost agroexport capacity.
  • After a weeks‑long march over security concerns, the mayor of Pataz reached Lima and received an invitation from President José Jerí to meet at the presidential palace, as Jerí also engages sector leaders on anti-crime proposals.
