Peru Names 2026 the Year of Hope and Democratic Strengthening

The decree links the annual motto to the government's 2025–2026 agenda on democratic transition.

Overview

  • A Supreme Decree published in El Peruano (No. 011-2026-PCM) makes the designation mandatory on all state documents throughout 2026.
  • The measure bears the signatures of President José Jerí and Prime Minister Ernesto Álvarez Miranda.
  • The Ministry of Culture will issue official translations of the denomination into indigenous languages in line with the national ethnolinguistic map.
  • The designation is tied to the Política General de Gobierno 2025–2026, emphasizing orderly elections, press freedom, electoral autonomy, transparency, and anti-corruption efforts.
  • The move follows an unusual delay in publishing the annual name, with some outlets misreporting the decree number; the published Supreme Decree is the authoritative reference.
