with a strong sense of responsibility, with the aim of leading and ensuring a democratic transition, boosting economic growth with fiscal responsibility, and strengthening public security, placing Peruvian families at the center of government action.
The high-ranking official said the first task of her administration will be to ensure an orderly and transparent democratic transition.
The Cabinet chief indicated that her administration will maintain ongoing coordination with electoral bodies to ensure the necessary resources, absolute neutrality, and full respect for the will of the people.
"The country needs an electoral process that restores confidence and closes this period of political uncertainty," she emphasized on Tuesday night, stressing that institutional stability is key to Peruvians' peace of mind and the revival of opportunities.
On the economic front, the Prime Minister said the government's policy direction will remain firm and unchanged.
She stated that the Council of Ministers will act with clear signals of stability, fiscal responsibility, and respect for the rules that build confidence—essential conditions to protect jobs, attract investment, and sustain growth for the population's benefit.
As another priority objective, she announced the strengthening of public security through closer coordination among the Executive Branch, the Peruvian National Police, the Public Ministry (Prosecutor's Office), the Judiciary, and regional and local governments.
The strategy will prioritize intelligence, planning, and operational capacity in confronting crime, with the aim of restoring peace and security for all Peruvians.
