**Recent official statements from Peru’s Justice Ministry under President Keiko Fujimori have reinforced barriers to any presidential pardon or gracia for former President Pedro Castillo in 2026.** In early August, Minister Ernesto Álvarez described a pardon as “impossible” in the current scenario and dismissed related protests as blackmail, indicating clemency would require serious illness or comparable exceptional circumstances. Multiple prior requests were rejected by the Comisión de Gracias Presidenciales in July under the interim Balcázar administration for failing procedural requirements, with the process closed before the transition. Castillo’s 11-year-5-month sentence for the 2022 rebellion attempt remains under Supreme Court appeal, alongside extended pre-trial detention for separate corruption charges through March 2027. A non-binding UN Working Group opinion on arbitrary detention has been cited in ongoing habeas corpus appeals but has not altered judicial outcomes or prompted executive reconsideration. These confirmed positions and procedural realities underpin trader consensus against a 2026 pardon.
