Overview
- The Energy and Mines Commission voted 14–8 to approve a prior motion that pauses the predictamen and sends the issue to a technical working group, summoning the Energy and Mines minister.
- The shelved proposal sought to extend the Reinfo until December 31, 2026, reinstate more than 50,000 registrations excluded under Supreme Decree 012-2025-EM, and halt new exclusion procedures.
- The session was shifted from a planned meeting in Caravelí to Lima after objections, and the predictamen consolidated bills from Guido Bellido, Wilson Quispe and Roberto Sánchez.
- Proponents led by Víctor Cutipa, Bellido and Quispe argued the measures protect jobs and buy time for the pending Law MAPE, while critics such as Diana Gonzales, Patricia Juárez and industry voices warned of incentives to illegality.
- Confemin delegations protested outside Congress calling for a multi‑year extension and reinstatements, as the prime minister declined to take a firm position, saying he would need to be convinced.
