President Keiko Fujimori was sworn in and promptly named a new cabinet. Prime Minister Luis Galarreta, who heads the Council of Ministers, disclosed that he is under investigations for money‑laundering, abuse of authority and organized‑crime links. Fifteen ministers in the cabinet have fiscal investigations or judicial convictions, including Environment minister Vladimir Huaroc with 51 cases, Energy and Mines minister Guillermo Shin with up to ten, Production minister Juan Carlos Requejo with ten, and Development Agrarian and Irrigation minister Marco Vinelli with ten investigations for alleged collusion and concussion.

Marco Vinelli was sworn in as minister of Development Agrarian and Irrigation in a ceremony led by President Fujimori. He outlined a plan to accelerate El Niño prevention, covering river desiltation, basin protection, hydraulic infrastructure and financial aid for farmers in the high Andes, Amazon and indigenous communities. Juan Carlos Requejo also took office as minister of Production, pledging to strengthen micro‑ and small enterprises, fisheries and aquaculture amid El Niño‑related challenges.

The disclosures highlight a government burdened with extensive legal scrutiny while confronting climate‑related risks and economic recovery tasks.
