Overview
- Gálvez was sworn in as Fiscal de la Nación for 2026–2029 at a ceremony attended by President José María Balcázar and senior justice officials.
- In his first speech, he requested a supplementary budget and warned the Public Ministry would close offices one by one without it, threatening core services to victims and witnesses.
- He said the National Control Authority, which polices prosecutors’ conduct, has no budget this year, putting internal discipline and audits at risk.
- The demand comes after Balcázar said he would release more funds only with “concrete results” during the months he remains in office through July.
- He framed his mandate as a push to rebuild trust in the institution after public hostility and a disputed interim tenure that included shutting special anticorruption teams.
