Congress strikes new blow in favor of illegal mining in the face of a government with no response

Last week, Congress removed Energy and Mines Minister Rómulo Mucho from office with 80 votes in favor, 4 against, and 10 abstentions. Of the 13 parliamentary groups in Congress, 11 supported the motion. His censure comes at a critical time for the interests of informal and illegal miners, in a week in which the Government had presented a new Law on Small-scale and Artisanal Mining (MAPE), and less than a month before the deadline for informal miners registered in the Comprehensive Registry of Mining Formalization (Reinfo) to comply with the formalization requirements.

OUR PERSPECTIVE

In 2026, the Peruvian economy will grow by 3.2%, a pace similar to that of 2025, despite electoral risks

In the third quarter of 2025, the economy grew by 2.5%, a slower pace than that observed in the first months of the year.

Government and Congress maintain their alliance as the pension reform stalls and the 2026 election remains fragmented

This month, President Dina Boluarte’s cabinet demonstrated resilience in the face of criticism over leaked audio recordings implicating Ministers Eduardo Arana (PCM) and Juan José Santiváñez (Interior).

Changes in the Cabinet have strengthened the alliance with Congress amid a context of growing institutional weakness.

The Government’s main allies, Fuerza Popular and APP, leveraged the crisis triggered by the murder of 13 mine workers in Pataz to strengthen their influence over ministerial appointments.
