The former Minister of Energy, Arturo Vásquez, considered that the Minister of Energy and Mines, Jorge Montero, is uninformed by saying that this year the figures of Petroperú They will close in Azul, after the losses recorded in 2024.
“The debt of Petroperúincluding capital and what has to do with preoperative and posoperative interests and short -term debt is above US $ 11,000 million, ”he said Peru21 And he recalled that only the investment in the Talara refinery amounts to US $ 6.5 billion.
Likewise, the analyst said that if the public company records figures in blue in 2025 it is because last year the emergency decree (013-2024) was approved “in which the MEF assumes all the payment of this year.”
It should be noted that said DU, in its article 4, authorizes the approval by the MEF of the payment of the maturities that occur in the second semester of 2024, corresponding to the external indebtedness operations without the guarantee of the national government.
“The minister has been given inaccurate and incorrect information because Petroperú Without the help of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, he cannot get ahead. So the minister is saying something that is wrong, ”he added.
Help Petroperú
On the other hand, Arturo Vásquez questioned that in Congress there is a bill that proposes to grant Petroperú Lots I, VI and Z-69 without prior contest. In this regard, he pointed out that that decision would be a mistake.
