Somos Perú Founder Says President José Jerí Lacks a Coherent Security Strategy

She links his government to opaque alliances, citing the INPE director's ongoing bribery probe as a blow to credibility.

Overview

  • In a Nov. 11 RPP interview, Nora Bonifaz of Somos Perú said the Jerí administration has no clear plan to confront rising extortion, hired killings and broader insecurity.
  • She characterized the president’s public actions as performative with few measurable results, saying she sees no program, horizon or strategy on security.
  • Bonifaz cited what she described as opaque alignments with Fuerza Popular and APP as factors that compromise transparency in governing.
  • She questioned the decision to retain INPE chief Iván Paredes Yataco, who faces a fiscal investigation over an alleged bribe, and urged his temporary removal while inquiries proceed.
  • The critique also touched on political fallout, including a bleak outlook for George Forsyth’s precandidacy, as the government offered no new national security plan in the reports.
