The president of the National Assembly of Regional Governments (ANGR) recommended that a summary commission be installed to determine who is responsible for the violence and deaths that occurred in the protests.

The president of ANGR and head of GORE Cusco, Jean Paul Benavente, said that a summary commission should be installed, which could be composed of members of the Council of State, to determine those responsible for the deaths and violence unleashed in the protests around the country.

"What has to be done is a summary commission that gives an immediate report, in the next five days and determines who is responsible. I think that is where the action of responding to the population by the Executive is lacking" he said in an interview with the Eighth Commandment program of Canal N.

On the other hand, Benavente criticized the groups that would be inciting the population and have committed violent acts, because they distort the legitimate protest.

"They are distorting a protest in which social organizations have put their voice, they have self-convoked. It cannot be that, by small groups, infiltrated, planted, this social protest can be distorted. They are condemned, strongly and exemplary sanctioned so that this never happens again in the country" he said.

In addition, Benavente ruled out serving as the President of the Council of Ministers, as has been reported in the press. "I must finish my term on December 31st" he said.

Minister of Energy and Mines Oscar Vera Gargurevich clarified that this measure will not affect the increase in fuel prices. Only two types of gasoline will be marketed in Peru from January 2023. MINEM reported that simplification will not increase prices and will be implemented gradually. As of January 1, 2023, the adaptation process for the sale of regular and premium gasoline and gasohol (‘gasoholes’) in Peru will begin. This is within the framework of a simplification process that seeks to promote the Ministry. In this way, gasoline and gasohol of 84, 90, 95, 97 and 98 octanes will give way to only two fuels (91 and 97 octane) that are more efficient and with less sulfur load at a national level in line with what happens in other countries ...
