Peruvian Congress to Question Ministers Over REINFO and Nazca Lines

Peruvian Congress to Interrogate Ministers Over REINFO and Nazca Lines The Peruvian Congress voted to interpelate the Ministers of Energy and Mines and Culture. This follows concerns about the handling of information (REINFO) and the reduction of the protected area of the Nazca Lines. The ministers are expected to answer questions in Congress this Friday. "Both ministers will have to appear before the plenary session this Friday," reported Omar Jordán of América Noticias. The questioning of the Energy and Mines Minister will focus on the REINFO, concessions, and the deaths at the Patas mine. The Culture Minister will face questions about the reduction of the Nazca Lines' protected area. Congressman Elvis Vergara of Acción Popular noted that seven months have passed since the minister's appointment, and there has been no clear attempt to change course or resolve the ongoing issues. Congressman Jaime Quito of the Socialist Party highlighted the concerns about the reduction of the Nazca Lines' protected area and the lack of action. The interpelations signal a significant development in Peruvian politics, highlighting the Congress's oversight role and the accountability of government ministers. The upcoming sessions promise to shed light on these important issues.
