emphasized that her administration has a clear and immediate objective: to generate the stability the country needs and deliver concrete results.
"Our responsibility is to provide Peru with political and economic stability at a complex moment. We have come to solve problems and bring peace of mind to Peruvian families," she stated.
The Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM) head underscored that the Cabinet acts under a clearly defined roadmap: ensuring an orderly democratic transition, boosting growth with fiscal responsibility, and strengthening public security.
"The country needs certainty. It needs clear rules, fiscal balance, and firm decisions against insecurity. And we will do all of that by putting people at the center," she emphasized.
Making decisions since day one
The Prime Minister underscored that, since the first day of her swearing-in, the Executive Branch has been confronting an emergency that allowed no delays.
The high-ranking official explained that for nearly a week, due to the presidential transition, emergency declarations and supreme decrees could not be signed, halting urgent decisions as several regions faced heavy rainfall and flooding.
"The rains do not wait for political timelines. That is why, on the very day we were sworn in, we held a session and issued the emergency declarations," Miralles recalled.
"We could not allow an administrative procedure to delay assistance to a family that has lost everything," she added.
The Cabinet chief noted that the Council of Ministers declared and extended the state of emergency in 15 Peruvian regions: Amazonas, Ancash, Arequipa, Cajamarca, Ica, Junin, La Libertad, Lambayeque, Lima, Madre de Dios, Moquegua, Piura, Puno, San Martin, and Tumbes.
In total, 707 districts are under a state of emergency, with differentiated interventions based on the impact level.
"We are on the ground, verifying damage, assessing interventions, and making concrete decisions. This is how this government is addressing the emergency—with presence, resources, and results," Miralles underscored.
She announced that emergency declaration procedures will be streamlined to reduce red tape for mayors, agricultural subsidies will be activated along with temporary tax relief measures, and coordination with the private sector will be strengthened to speed up recovery.
The Prime Minister reported that President Jose Maria Balcazar will travel to northern regions such as Tumbes, Piura, and Lambayeque.
She added that the role of regional coordinating ministers has been reactivated to strengthen the on-the-ground response.
"By instruction of the president, we are where people need us, taking immediate decisions, coordinating with governors and mayors, and personally overseeing that assistance reaches those affected," she pointed out.
Electoral neutrality and economic stability
Regarding the electoral process, the Prime Minister was emphatic in stating that the Executive Branch will guarantee absolute neutrality and full respect for the people's will.
The Cabinet chief confirmed that the budget and the necessary transfers for electoral institutions are being secured.
"A strong democracy requires transparent and timely elections. Our obligation is to ensure that every electoral institution has the resources to carry out its role independently," Miralles stated.
On the macroeconomic front, the Prime Minister said the impact of El Niño remains within projected forecasts, although she acknowledged the severity of the damage in specific areas.
"We will maintain fiscal responsibility and economic stability to boost greater investment and job creation for the benefit of all Peruvians," she added.
