Peru’s Election Body Flags Possible Neutrality Breach by Prime Minister Over PCM Statement

The report moves to the Jurado Electoral Especial for possible action on a post seen as favoring Fuerza Popular.

Overview

  • An oversight report from JEE Lima Centro says Eduardo Arana may have violated electoral neutrality with a PCM communiqué criticizing the Fiscalía de la Nación.
  • The analysis argues the message would benefit Fuerza Popular because the prosecutor’s pending request to declare a party illegal targets only that organization.
  • The finding has been submitted to the Jurado Electoral Especial de Lima Centro 1, which will decide whether to initiate a neutrality proceeding.
  • Arana said the Executive convened general elections and that all parties must have full guarantees to participate, asserting no authority can interfere.
  • He rejected claims of pressure on the judiciary or prosecutors and cited a Constitutional Court disposition faulting searches of the president’s home and the Government Palace.
