Overview
- Mayor Sigifredo Juan Zárate Vite publicly opposed sending Petroperú to ProInversión and warned that limited cash could force partial or total shutdowns, including at the New Talara Refinery.
- He urged the president, economy minister, and energy minister to instruct the General Shareholders’ Meeting to approve a financing structure that keeps operations and obligations on track.
- Zárate cited about S/5,000 million the State allegedly owes Petroperú from tax credits, the fuel price stabilization fund, pensions, and other items.
- Economy Minister Denisse Miralles said no fresh capital injections are planned, noted roughly S/17,000 million has been transferred since 2022, and signaled an urgent decree for comprehensive restructuring centered on governance and fiscal order.
- Unions and the Ombudsman’s Office pressed for dialogue and short‑term liquidity measures to avoid supply disruptions and price spikes, and as of the latest reports there was no announced Cabinet session to approve the decree.
