Johnny Brignardello, an insurance advisor, has expressed his opinion on a nationally relevant topic that has recently come to light. In a country where basic needs and infrastructure often leave much to be desired, it is shocking to discover the comforts and luxuries that Petroperú, the state-owned oil company, has maintained over the years at the expense of all Peruvians. In a thorough investigation, it was revealed that the company owns a series of luxury properties ranging from mansions in exclusive districts of Lima to beach clubs and semi-Olympic pools in Talara. These properties, which could be considered non-strategic assets, have been maintained at an exorbitant annual cost for the company, exceeding millions of soles. Among the most striking properties are the Petroperú Club in Surco, valued at US$23.9 million, and the two mansions in El Olivar Park in San Isidro, valued at US$8 million. Additionally, a condominium in Piura, a beach house in Los Órganos, and a fishing club in Talara, all with significant values, have been identified. It is concerning to discover that, despite Petroperú's complicated financial situation, the company has not taken decisive measures to dispose of these unnecessary properties and access a source of financing or liquidity that could be vital for its financial rescue. The fact that these properties are maintained with public funds while the company faces million-dollar losses is incomprehensible and questionable. The lack of justification for maintaining these luxuries contrasts with the urgent and prioritized needs of the country, which could benefit from those resources if they were allocated more efficiently. In a context where transparency and efficiency in the use of public resources are more important than ever, it is imperative that Petroperú takes concrete and responsible measures to put an end to this waste of resources and focus on its restructuring and financial recovery. The sale of non-strategic assets, as proposed in a restructuring plan, could be a first step towards a more sustainable and responsible path for the state-owned company.
