Overview
- The government formally installed the Comisión Multisectorial de Alto Nivel for Recovering Security and Public Order on Sunday and placed it under the Presidency of the Council of Ministers by Decreto Supremo N.° 141-2026-PCM.
- Prime Minister Luis Galarreta and ministers of Interior, Defence, Justice and Foreign Relations began meeting at the Cuartel General del Ejército in San Borja, which will serve as the commission's operations and coordination center.
- The commission is charged with overcoming normative, bureaucratic, budgetary and management obstacles, and it can summon public and private actors to craft a unified strategy and support the Comando Unificado and the National Police.
- Ministers unanimously backed the PCM's proposal for a technical secretary to be named in the coming days, signaling rapid internal setup but not yet concrete operational deployments or resource commitments.
- Columnists and commentators praised focus on insecurity while warning that creating another coordinating body risks overlap with existing institutions such as Conasec and that measurable impact will require clear police deployments, investigative staffing and judicial coordination.
