Interior Minister, Julio Díaz, thanked the Congress for the approval of the Emergency Declaration to the National Police as a measure to fight the wave of crime that plagues the country.
“I wanted to thank all the congressmen of the Republic who made it possible for this law to move forward and it is the law declaring the state of emergency to the National Police. Of course they had to declare in emergency and had to leave this emergency law that was an urgent need. There are, in that law, 6 thousand new police that we can have a short time for the cities to patrol. What exists police in the streets,” Diaz said.
During his participation in the work table ‘Citizen Security in the transport sector’, the head of the Interior revealed that with this emergency declaration, they will be able to facilitate several efforts such as the purchase of patrolmen.
“There we have 22 million for operational intelligence and we have to do all the formalities, because if we do not know how to act tomorrow this will be more difficult. There are other things that will facilitate us, for example the purchase of a large number of patrolmen. All that has to rethink and happily approves the Congress of the Republic. This is not in favor of the minister, I have my daughters, I have my granddaughters, I want to live in a quiet country,” he added.
As is known, Congress approved with 91 votes in favor to declare in emergency for 180 days the National Police of Peru. The rule is relapsed on bills 07567/2023-CR, 10044/2024-CR, and other initiatives. In addition, it was exonerated from the second vote.
The law gives a wide margin of action to the Ministry of Interior to act while the emergency declaration lasts. In that sense, the said portfolio of various restrictions contemplated in the 2025 Public Budget Law is exempted, such as making budgetary modifications.
It is exempted to the Mininter to comply with article 9, numerals 9.5, 9.6, 9.8 and 9.10. This means that the interior portfolio may reallocate budgetary resources for “fuels, fuels, lubricants and related” the purpose of enabling other items, generic or specific to the expense of their institutional budgets.
Likewise, this institution may also make budgetary modifications during the first semester of fiscal year 2025 to the “replacement and accessories” spending items, “Supplies for maintenance and repair” and “maintenance service”, in order to enable other items.
The Interior Ministry may also make budgetary modifications in items such as medical supplies, taxes and transfers to international health organizations, without the limitations established in the Public Sector Budget Law for fiscal year 2025 and the Legislative Decree of the National Public Budget System.
