At this instance, a proposal for the Justice System Reform Policy and normative projects to boost changes in the sector were evaluated. The reactivation of the Council for Reform of the Justice System has a very unique meaning because this is the year of the Bicentennial, and reopening it is necessary, the Head of State expressed.
The top official added that 200 years after Peru s Independence proposing reforms to the justice system has a symbolic meaning because it proves that all institutions are committed to the fight against corruption.
According to the statesman, the Council for Reform of the Justice System seeks to reach consensus on how to redesign a set of reforms that promote substantive changes aimed at making it more effective for the benefit of the citizenry.

The electoral authority deemed as very important what the Executive Branch indicated, meaning that there are currently no elements that could lead to postponing the general elections initially scheduled for April 11.
In statements to Ideele Radio, the official indicated that the safety conditions for citizens are being evaluated for any decision on the matter. I am totally convinced that experts from the Ministry of Health are working to adequately measure the data and signs of the pandemic in the country, he added.
Given its nature, the JNE cannot establish health measures and therefore has not issued measures related to the matter or to be implemented in the electoral process, he indicated.

10:10 | Lima, Jan. 17. The use of private vehicles on Sundays has been restricted in Metropolitan Lima and Callao starting today, as stipulated by the Government, as both areas have been categorized in the high alert level of COVID-19 risk.
In previous remarks, Peru s Prime Minister Violeta Bermudez noted that when private cars are used on Sundays, more people move around to visit their relatives, meet with friends, and go shopping. If more people go to the malls, where capacity is limited, that is where crowds begin to form. The fewer people on the street, the less possibility of infecting others or contracting the disease, she explained.
