“ Science and technology are the pillars of contemporary development. A country that is not capable of recognizing and incorporating its ancestral knowledge and generating new ones from research; and have and promote a universe of outstanding professionals in this field, it will never be able to reach the levels of development required to adequately distribute elementary public services among its population, such as food security, adequate housing, efficient public transportation, and a relevant and quality education and public health system. ”

“ This is not over, but I am absolutely sure that we will move forward, building on what is advanced, listening to science and putting the well-being of Peruvians first.
We have to govern at a time of enormous gravity for Peru. We must maximize our effort to achieve the vaccination of our entire population in the shortest possible time.
Health is a fundamental right that the State must guarantee. Physical and mental health will be the first priority in the government. We will establish a universal, unified, free, decentralized and participatory health system. ”

“ The Constituent Assembly Everyone knows, because we have stated so many times, that one of our main political flags, now converted into a flag of the majority of the people, is the convocation of a constituent assembly that provides our country with a new constitution that allows change the face of our economic and social reality. ”

“ This time a government of the people has come to govern with the people and for the people, to build from the bottom up. It is the first time that our country will be governed by a peasant, a person who, like many Peruvians, belongs to the oppressed sectors for so many centuries. ”

“ Today, we are urged to recover jobs and family incomes, which requires a thorough reactivation of the economy. Unfortunately, during the electoral campaign, they have tried to scare the population with the story that we wanted to expropriate savings, houses, cars, factories and other property owned by citizens, which is totally false. We will not do any of that because we want the economy to maintain order and predictability, which is the basis of investment decisions. The property of the people, obtained with effort and within the framework of legality, is guaranteed by the State. ”

“ The management of cultures will be decentralized. One of the pending challenges that we as a Republic maintain is the recognition of cultural diversity in the formulation of public policies, which has meant that Peruvians from rural sectors continue to be invisible as they were two hundred years ago. That is why it is necessary to interculturalize the State, that is, to establish that when the most relevant decisions are made, the voices of indigenous peoples and communities and of the Afro-Peruvian people are considered. ”

“ Social protection The public and private pension systems, as well as the health care of the population in Essalud and the MINSA, to which we have referred above, are in crisis. We believe that social protection in Peru should move from "insurance" policies to access and full right to health and pensions. No Peruvian should make collections, denigrate himself in entertainment programs or beg for health care or to have a decent pension. Health and Pensions will be universal and with decent coverage. ”

“ In the first 100 days of our government, the execution of sustainable and quality rural sanitation works will be strengthened through the executing centers as a mechanism to promote the direct and vigilant participation of organized civil society and at the same time combat cancer of the corruption. Access to the national program Techo Propio will be made easier for the population and we will significantly expand the number of beneficiaries. The hope of hundreds of thousands of families to access your own roof from today begins to become a reality. ”

“ And I say to all Peruvians that their health and well-being is our priority.
The economic reactivation In the last 30 years there has been a lot of discussion about the shortcomings of the economic model implemented in the 90s. Despite this, no government listened to the discomfort of the majority and thus they refused to carry out the changes desired by the population. But the pandemic ended up making visible that the criticisms made of the economic model were not only legitimate, they were also valid. Today the population is asking for changes and is not willing to renounce them. ”

“ We need a Ministry of the Environment that is capable of putting a stop to environmental degradation, deforestation of our forests, vulnerability to climate change, that guarantees environmental quality standards, that is committed to sustainable mining, as well as a transition to an economy socially inclusive, low carbon. ”

“ A sufficient budget for Basic and Higher Public Education that will be progressively improved. We intend to increase the budget of the education sector to respond to the great educational needs of vulnerable sectors: rural, bilingual, marginalized and urban peripheries. We intend to double the budget allocation for public education in the first years of our government and increase the share of spending in GDP. We will improve the distribution of educational resources with equity criteria and prioritizing actions that help to overcome the social gaps deepened by the pandemic. ”

“ Because we want to build a more prosperous country, but also a more just country. A country where a greater generation of wealth and well-being are distributed more equitably among all Peruvians. That is the commitment that our government assumes today, 28 July, on our bicentennial. ”

“ The actors must be conditioned to each scenario and not the other way around. The peoples and territorial organizations must actively participate in the management of their development. If a project does NOT have social profitability, it simply DOES NOT GO.
This means a new pact with private investors, where the State intervenes to reduce costs, facilitate processes, maintain legal security, and in return the local population and the country receives contributions that generate development and greater opportunities with real care for the environment. ”

“ Fight against corruption We will review all the legislation on corruption, the classification of the crimes related to it and the sanctions imposed in the criminal code to reinforce them, both in relation to public officials, as well as to the national and foreign companies and businessmen involved. We must have legislation that discourages crime of all kinds and not like the current one, which encourages it. ”

“ The social organizations of common pots and soup kitchens will be recognized and integrated into this ambitious national program. For the immediate economic reactivation of the rural sector, we will allocate 3 billion soles to the FAE AGRO Fund, making it more accessible and with a greater presence at the national level. The Agrobank will become an efficient engine for the development of agriculture in the country, especially the small agricultural producer and even family agriculture, today less than 2.5% of all farmers qualify to access the credits of this entity and that cannot continue. ”

“ Women and vulnerable populations National Entrepreneurial Women Program that grants accessible credits to boost the family economy, to face the economic consequences of the pandemic that has placed women in informal, vulnerable jobs, and without social protection. Promote the National Care System for dependent people -girls, children, the elderly, people with disabilities- given that 98,000 Peruvian children have lost one of their caregivers as a victim of the pandemic. ”

“ Improve the level of employment and wages, conditions and wages in accordance with what the International Labor Organization indicates, and also that locals access relevant management positions. Carry out technology transfer. Foreign investment, foreign or extra regional, is a means to spread technologies in the receiving areas. This implies strengthening the relevant institutions so that local learning becomes a reality. Improve income distribution, where the intervention does not generate privileged groups and others excluded. Promote and preserve culture and the environment. ”

“ There are those who question why a Constituent Assembly is needed, if the Constitution can be amended by Congress. Those who make this objection should remember that the Executive Branch must concentrate on governing, and Congress on legislating and exercising political control over the government; tasks that must be referred to attend the urgent matters of each day. ”

“ Strategic alliances will be developed for technological and productive development, between the University and technical education at all levels, CITE and MYPES and companies, to promote technological innovation, productive chains, national industrialization and productive diversification, which it will allow greater competitiveness and will give added value to our raw materials in each territory. ”

“ We fully agree that Peru will become a carbon neutral country by 2050 and for this we must seriously advance in fulfilling the commitment to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions from 30% to 40% compared to what is projected for 2030. ”

“ The Comptroller's Office has indicated that corruption embezzes more than 20 billion soles a year, that is, as much as all public spending on Health in 2021 or two-thirds of public spending in the Education Sector this year. ”

“ We will implement the national plan for Industrialization and Productive Improvement of the Field, with the participation of Regional Governments and Local Governments, we will redirect public funds to provide equipment and state-of-the-art technology to organized farmers. The immediate implementation of the national plan for Livestock Repopulation, which will return productivity to more than 1.7 million livestock families in the Costa, Sierra and Selva. The best way to fight anemia will be allowing our children to eat high-quality protein rich in iron. ”

“ That is why the constituent work cannot and should not be in charge of these bodies. Instead, the Constituent Assembly will be elected by the people exclusively to dedicate itself to preparing, within a predetermined period, a draft Constitution, the product of political debate and pluralist agreement, which will be submitted to a referendum. ”

“ We consider of vital importance that the educational system has a firm base, stable teachers. We will promote housing and Pedagogical Resource Centers for teachers in rural areas. It is time that this old aspiration came true and rural teachers, true apostles of Peruvian education, received a minimum of service to be able to carry out their hard work and important work. ”

“ Using the good practices that occur in other scenarios, expelling corruption, sincere and limiting procedures that facilitate the exploration, exploitation, control and proper closure of each project. We will do our best to produce more and with greater added value. Housing, construction and sanitation In our Peru of the Bicentennial there are three million Peruvians who do not have drinking water and 7 and a half million of sewerage. Water coverage in urban areas reaches 95% of Peruvians, while in rural areas only 78%. ”

“ Investment promotion and a new way of doing projects in Peru Peru is a country with a millenary mining and agricultural tradition; all the cultures that flourished in the territory have shown us their ability, which today is part of the heritage of all of us. However, today there is a critical anomie in the mining, energy and hydrocarbon sector. ”

“ We are ready to regain sovereignty over all our natural resources because many, today, are in foreign hands, with contracts that have a guarantee of tax stability. This is one of the main reasons that compel us to seek a new Political Constitution that, among other things, allows us to adapt contracts to the changing circumstances of the international market, guaranteeing the income of the State.
Rondas and citizen security We know that citizen security is one of the problems most felt by the population. ”

“ Thus we can regulate final prices and avoid exploiting the citizen, raising food prices and tickets for the benefit of a monopoly company. We are not talking about public subsidies, since this company must participate fully in the market with its own resources, but with a reasonable profit rate and without any type of abuse. ”

“ We will guarantee the improvement of the learning of children and young people, reducing the historical gaps; through: Strengthening early childhood education with families and communities. The promotion of the improvement of the teacher's performance; ensure that the National Curriculum and Curriculum Plans promoted by teachers, students, parents and the community. Innovation will be a priority in schools and Internet connectivity a right. Initially we will work in 800 educational institutions qualified for technical secondary schools. ”

“ Agriculture and rural development Zero hunger and malnutrition, with health and economic reactivation, promoting the consumption of healthy ecological products; For this, we will promote state purchasing programs with nutritious and quality local products, to immediately combat hunger in rural and urban areas. ”

“ Finally, young people who neither study nor work will have to go to military service.
Defense: A new role for the armed forces Certainly our armed forces have, as established in Article 165 of the Constitution, the primary purpose of guaranteeing the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic. However, in times of peace, nothing prevents teams, technical personnel and, in general, all available personnel from being able to participate in the execution of development projects, such as roads, engineering works, dams, etc. ”
