Business unions support Petroperú and demand a transparent restructuring.

The Union of Guilds, a platform that brings together the main business guilds in the country, has issued a statement regarding the critical situation facing Petroperú, the state-owned company that plays a fundamental role in the national economy. In a context where the management and development of such companies are of vital importance, the guilds have expressed their support for the current board of directors of Petroperú, highlighting their "responsible and professional actions." Support from the business sector comes at a time when the General Shareholders' Meeting, chaired by the Minister of Energy and Mines, Rómulo Mucho, is facing a significant challenge. The lack of clear decisions regarding the future of Petroperú has generated an atmosphere of uncertainty that affects not only the company but the economy as a whole. The guilds have urged the members of this board, which also includes the head of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, José Arista, and other deputy ministers, to make decisions that will allow for a viable solution to this crisis. Business leaders propose that the restructuring of Petroperú be a viable option, but with one condition: it must be conducted transparently and professionally, avoiding any kind of political interference. This call for a "conditional" restructuring reflects concerns about how internal matters of the company have been managed and the need for a more technical approach, less influenced by politics. The Union of Guilds emphasizes the importance of a thorough analysis of the necessary measures to ensure sustainable management across all processes of Petroperú. This analysis should not only focus on internal restructuring but also on how to minimize public resource injections into the company. Efficiency in management becomes essential, considering that the country faces serious needs in areas such as education, health, and security. The statement also highlights the importance of ensuring a sufficient supply of fuel, especially in the most remote regions of the country. The management of Petroperú not only affects the economy but also has a direct impact on the daily lives of millions of Peruvians who rely on a constant and reliable supply of fuels. The current context is alarming, as the lack of clear decisions prevents the optimal use of resources. According to the guilds, resources that could be used to close social gaps in areas such as building schools, hospitals, and roads are at risk due to inefficiency in Petroperú's management. In a country where social inequality is a constant concern, the role of this state-owned company is more relevant than ever. Furthermore, the guilds have warned about the risk that Petroperú's current situation could become an insurmountable obstacle for the country's development. As the problems within the company worsen, so do the economic consequences, which could lead to a decrease in investment and increased distrust in the public sector. The Union of Guilds has called for action, urging authorities to act decisively and effectively. The situation of Petroperú is an issue that not only affects the company and its workers but also has repercussions for the national economy and the well-being of the population. Restructuring, if done properly, could open new opportunities for the country and help mitigate existing social gaps. In summary, the position of the Union of Guilds is clear: the restructuring of Petroperú is necessary, but it must be carried out within a framework of transparency and professionalism. Only in this way can the sustainability of the company and the well-being of the Peruvian population be guaranteed. The urgency of a decision in this regard cannot be underestimated, as the future of Petroperú, and with it the economic future of the country, is at stake.
