Recent official actions have reinforced the low likelihood of a 2026 pardon for former Peruvian President Pedro Castillo. Peru’s interim government under José María Balcázar rejected all pending clemency requests in July 2026 after the Comisión de Gracias Presidenciales deemed them inadmissible, closing the administrative process. Under the subsequent administration of President Keiko Fujimori, Justice Minister Ernesto Álvarez stated in August that any pardon remains impossible absent extraordinary circumstances such as severe illness. Court rulings have compounded this position: the Tribunal Constitucional and Poder Judicial rejected habeas corpus petitions and challenges to Castillo’s 11-year sentence for rebellion related to the December 2022 events. These confirmed legal and executive barriers align with trader consensus reflected in current market pricing.
