Overview

  • The Senate Pleno met on Wednesday and voted to approve the Executive’s requests to extend three decretos supremos that set states of emergency.
  • Decreto Supremo 113-2026-PCM extends the emergency in Pataz (La Libertad) and was approved by 50 votes in favor, zero against, and two abstentions.
  • Decreto Supremo 114-2026-PCM covers Putumayo and Mariscal Ramón Castilla plus the Torres Causana and Napo districts in Maynas (Loreto) and was approved to continue exceptional measures.
  • Decreto Supremo 115-2026-PCM extends the emergency in districts of Huancavelica and Tayacaja and the provinces of Chupaca, Concepción and Huancayo (Junín), and was approved unanimously with 52 votes.
  • Under Article 137 of the Constitution the Senate’s approval was required before the previous decrees expired on October 2 and October 12, and the extensions allow continued military-led order control, curfew-type restrictions, and focused disaster-response operations while authorities implement security and reconstruction steps.
