They propose that 40% of the mining canon destined to regional governments be distributed to households

Congressman Luis Ángel Aragón from Acción Popular presented a bill that proposes that the 40% of the mining canon and mining royalty intended for regional governments be distributed directly to homes in the areas of influence of mining operations.

Additionally, the sum would also be made up of 20% of the mining canon and royalties allocated to the provincial and district municipalities.

In this way, the project presented on December 30, 2021 indicates that it seeks to “optimize the distribution of resources from the mining canon and mining royalties” in order to “close or reduce economic and social gaps” in places where mining resources are exploited.

The legal initiative states that the beneficiaries of the subsidy must be Peruvian by birth and, in addition, have at least 10 years of residence in the town, district or province where the mining operation is located.
