Overview
- Official records show the total combines S/15,600 salary, S/15,600 December gratification, a S/11,000 congressional function bonus, a S/2,800 representation allowance, and a S/1,900 electronic card.
- Procurement documents detail the purchase of 4,500 consumption cards at S/1,900 each (S/8.55 million) for legislators, staff and trusted personnel.
- The benefits are grounded in a bargaining pact valid through 2025, the Board has formed a team to negotiate the 2026–2027 agreement, and the Comptroller does not intervene in these internal accords.
- Parliament has asked the Executive for S/700 million to fund these and other obligations linked to the current collective agreement.
- Reaction has been sharp, with analysts criticizing the payouts as inconsistent with calls for austerity and lawmakers defending them as negotiated labor rights, including claims of social use of funds.
