Overview
- The government formalized a 30‑day extension of the state of emergency in Lima and Callao via DS 006‑2026‑PCM, keeping the National Police in charge with Armed Forces support and defining intervention zones using intelligence, statistics and crime maps.
- The decree restricts or suspends inviolability of domicile, freedom of transit, freedom of assembly, and personal liberty and security for the duration of the measure.
- Separate decrees extend emergency regimes for 60 days in Tumbes and Zarumilla (Tumbes) and in Trujillo and Virú (La Libertad), applying the same security framework and rights limitations.
- President José Jerí issued a public apology for entering a San Borja chifa hooded, disclosed Interior Minister Vicente Tiburcio was present, denied any irregular requests from the businessman involved, and pledged to cooperate with congressional inquiries.
- The JNE confirmed Rafael López Aliaga and Mario Vizcarra remain on the April 2026 ballot and said full written rulings will be published soon; a Datum survey reported Jerí’s approval at 51%, noting the fieldwork predated the chifa revelations, and the JNE logged 23 alliance filings for 2026 regional and municipal contests.
