Political activity in Peru has centered on legislative requests, oversight challenges, and regional governance. Prime Minister Luis Galarreta has engaged with parliamentary groups to discuss a package of 66 requested legislative powers, which include provisions for citizen security and measures to mitigate El Niño effects.

Concurrently, Senate blocs have initiated a formal request to remove Ombudsman Josué Gutiérrez, citing misconduct and alleged hiring irregularities. On a regional level, the National Assembly of Regional Governments has advocated for increased budget allocations to support decentralization.

Subsequent discussions have emphasized the need for the executive branch to function effectively, specifically regarding the management of rising criminality and the implementation of infrastructure and rapid response strategies to address the El Niño phenomenon.
