Overview
- On June 4, the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion published four Supreme Resolutions that appointed Tomás Alejandro Flores Noriega as viceminister of Work and Dante Delgado Polo as viceminister of Employment Promotion and Labor Training while accepting the resignations of their predecessors.
- All four resolutions were signed by President José María Balcázar Zelada and Labor Minister Freddy Solano González, using the official gazette El Peruano as the formal channel for ministerial-level appointments and exits.
- Both viceminister posts are described in the resolutions as puestos considerados de confianza, which are discretionary trust positions that typically change with ministerial turnover and reflect political control of senior administration roles.
- Tomás Flores is a lawyer who served as a senior advisor at the National Superintendency of Labor Inspection (Sunafil) since October 2024, and Dante Delgado is a lawyer who has been general manager at Devida since November 2025, with both having extended public-sector careers.
- The appointments came days after Freddy Solano’s own designation as minister and do not include new policy announcements, so the immediate effect is administrative consolidation with possible short-term impact on how the ministry runs inspections, training and employment programs.
