Overview
- Roughly 500 miners organized under Confemin gathered near Campo de Marte and marched to the legislature in Lima on October 20.
- Demonstrators seek to extend the Reinfo to 2030, repeal Supreme Decree 012-2025 to reincorporate about 50,000 excluded workers, and reverse mining concessions.
- Confemin reports support from Congressman Víctor Cutipa, who chairs the Energy and Mines Commission, while the legislative vehicle in play is a bill from Roberto Sánchez that offers only a one-year extension.
- Organizers signaled possible camping outside Congress and a multi-day mobilization, shifted the date to avoid the Señor de los Milagros procession, and flagged a follow-up protest for November 5.
- The government has maintained opposition to new Reinfo extensions in prior statements, and Confemin leaders say they are seeking talks with new authorities over exclusions in the formalization process.
