Ministro de Defensa anuncia intervención de penales, pero no sabe cuándo: “Necesitamos que nos dejen gobernar”

Peruvian Minister of Defense Rafael Belaúnde announced on Sunday that the Armed Forces will assume perimeter control of certain penitentiary establishments across the country. However, the minister acknowledged that he cannot yet specify when the military intervention will actually begin.

During the announcement, Belaúnde defended the upcoming security measure and called for institutional backing, stating, "We need them to let us govern." The deployment aims to address security concerns within the prison system, though the lack of a definitive timeline highlights the preliminary nature of the executive's current prison intervention plan.
