Overview
- Media monitoring on March 23 reports ongoing posts that allegedly feature protected characters in campaign materials, naming figures such as Jair Ramírez, Mirtha Vásquez, Rubén Mayta, Lía Valderrama and Rafael López Aliaga.
- Indecopi’s notice reminds campaigns that using music, images, videos, texts or characters requires prior authorization under the Peruvian Constitution (Article 2, numeral 8) and Legislative Decree 822.
- The institution warns that unauthorized use can trigger administrative procedures, monetary penalties and potential legal actions.
- Campaign teams are urged to verify rights ownership and rely on original, licensed or rights‑free content, including permissions managed by collective management societies.
- No new sanctions have been announced since the warning, though Indecopi cites a 2021 case where a political group was fined 6.43 UIT and ordered to pay US$7,500 for unauthorized use of a musical work.
