The Ministry of the Presidency (, MIPRE) was a government ministry of the Peruvian government. Created through Law N° 24297 on July 28, 1985, its function was to regulate and coordinate the operation of multisectoral entities and decentralized public organizations of the central government. It was deactivated in 2002.
History The ministry was created in 1985, during the first presidency of Alan García. Originally deactivated in 1990, it was again reactivated on May 10, 1992. Following the self-coup of Alberto Fujimori, the Ministry of the Presidency was recreated by Supreme Decree on 21 April 1992, with Jorge Lau Kong serving as its first holder. Among those who successively held the position during the Fujimori government were Jaime Yoshiyama, Manuel Vara Ochoa, Edgardo Mosqueira Medina and María Luisa Alvarado, who was the last minister of the Fujimori regime. According to La República, the ministry gained power within the government's corruption network.
