Peru Congress Grants Fujimorismo Powers; Obras Deputies Back Environmental Setback

Peru's Congress approved a measure granting Fujimorismo special powers with nine votes, including decisive support from Fujimorista Arturo Alegría and backing from Obras deputies Jeenny Samanez and Andrea Medina (abstention). Experts warn of environmental risks, signaling a potential regulatory rollback. The move consolidates legislative influence for Fujimorismo and may weaken environmental protections.
