The high-ranking official indicated that the current administration's objective is to hand over the country with institutions functioning, a stable economy, and a fully guaranteed electoral process.
Likewise, the Cabinet chief noted that President Jose Maria Balcazar's administration does not act based on power calculations, but with the commitment to ensure an orderly democratic transition, with functioning institutions, economic stability, and full respect for citizens' will.
"Peru does not need more political instability; it needs results and responsibility. It is time to demonstrate that democracy is built on trust and joint work," she expressed.
The Prime Minister emphasized that every day of the current administration counts toward consolidating the country’s stability, addressing the population's urgent needs, as well as guaranteeing clean and transparent elections.
In that regard, she indicated that this Congress, which will be the last unicameral legislature, has a historic responsibility to Peru.
"It is a great opportunity that we, the Executive Branch, and Congress have to rebuild trust in democracy," Miralles pointed out.
Emergency response
The Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM) head stated that the Executive Branch has been confronting crises with firmness, coordination, and results.
Regarding the energy emergency, the Prime Minister highlighted that it was overcome thanks to joint efforts by the government, the private sector, and civil society.

Regarding the climate emergency, she recalled that a state of emergency was declared in 15 regions and more than 900 districts to speed up the response.

Regarding citizen security, the government's spokeswoman noted that the National Citizen Security Plan is being implemented with a comprehensive approach, strengthening police intelligence, criminal investigation, and territorial control.
