Advances and challenges after disqualification process in the JNJ: the path towards positive change

The process of disqualification of members of the National Council of Justice (JNJ) has come to an end without mass disqualification, which represents a positive step amidst the intense political polarization that has characterized the national scene in recent times. However, for this to truly be a turning point, it is essential to put an end to political persecution and pave the way for a constructive agenda of political, economic, and judicial reforms. The Congress has taken a first step in this direction by approving the constitutional reform for bicameralism and reelection, measures aimed at improving the quality of laws and political representation in the country. The possibility for presidential candidates to run for Congress promises to strengthen the political system by having high-level leaders in Parliament, which could elevate political debate and the ability to reach agreements. However, the implementation of bicameralism requires complementary reforms to improve representation and transparency in the financing of electoral campaigns. It is essential to also address inconsistencies in the constitutional reform regarding impediments to candidacy, in order to ensure equitable representation. The change in prime minister and the renewal of several ministers in the Cabinet are signs of a government more determined to undertake changes and make decisions that promote confidence and private investment in the country. However, citizen security remains a weak point that requires urgent attention. The new prime minister, Gustavo Adrianzén, must lead an effective plan to combat crime, especially in regions like Trujillo and Pataz, where violence and crime have wreaked havoc. It is necessary to implement smart strategies that involve communities and informal sectors in the fight against criminal gangs. Furthermore, it is crucial to make changes to the Criminal Procedural Code to expedite police investigations and strengthen the formalization of informal miners, an important population that needs to be integrated into the formal economy to dismantle illegal activities. At this crucial moment, it is essential for the government and Congress to address problems proactively and seek effective solutions that promote the country's development and improve the quality of life for all Peruvians. The current situation presents a unique opportunity to move towards a more prosperous and secure future for everyone.
