The Minister of Energy and Mines, Rómulo Mucho Mamani, would attend the Energy Commission today at 3:00 pm, to be face to face with its members, and debate together the prediction of the ASM Law, prepared by that group of work, which proposes giving one more year of life to the Mining Formalization Registry (Reinfo). This, despite the fact that his portfolio proposes granting him only half a year of extension.
LOOK: They ask for one more year of life for the Reinfo
According to Peru21 sources, if Mucho attends, the president of the Energy Commission, Paul Gutiérrez, would let him enter, since he has not been officially invited nor does he appear on the agenda.
As we have revealed in our today’s edition, within the commission, which will meet today starting at 2:30 pm, there would be a consensus, led by the Fuerza Popular and Renovación Popular benches, to give a new extension to the Mining Formalization Registry (Reinfo) and put an end to the protest of informal miners who demand said expansion.
However, the nerve point of the debate will, without a doubt, be the timing of the expansion of Reinfo.
This is because in the 29-page Energy Commission report – to which Perú21 has had access – it is proposed that the Reinfo extension be one year.
On the other side, the Government and the Popular Renewal bench propose only six months of life for this registry, and the informal miners, through the Fencomin union, intend to go to the extreme with five years.
Fuerza Popular (FP) has made it clear that it will not support the exaggerated time demanded by informal miners, as its spokesperson Arturo Alegría told this medium last week.
According to experts and unions linked to the sector, extending the Reinfo for longer also benefits illegal miners and criminal mafias that act with impunity using Reinfo documents to market gold.
CENSORSHIP OF A LOT
On the other hand, the president of Congress, Eduardo Salhuana, pointed out that if the opinion is approved today, it could be voted on in the plenary sessions on Wednesday or Thursday.
Regarding the two motions of censure against the Minister of Energy and Mines, Rómulo Mucho, presented by FP and Podemos, Salhuana confirmed that these two requests—which seek to remove Mucho from office due to the crisis caused by the delay in sending the MAPE Law— They will also be seen on either of those two days.
According to the number of members of the 11 benches that have signed the motions of censure, they would exceed the 66 votes required to censure him.
The former senior official of Parliament César Delgado Guembes explained to this newspaper that according to the regulations of the Legislature, the two motions of censure will be put up for debate and voting on any of those days.
Renovación Popular, in a statement, yesterday demanded the minister resign; Otherwise, they indicated, they will support censorship.
