The ceremony took place at the Government Palace and marked a new adjustment in the ministerial cabinet, amid the crisis of EsSalud, an entity that depends on the ministry.\n\n\n

<\/a>The\u00a0appointment of Solano<\/strong>\u00a0surprised various sectors, as it was finalized without prior announcements or a press conference that anticipated the change. Until hours before the swearing-in, there were no public signs about the\u00a0departure of Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>, so the ministerial replacement was only known during the official ceremony headed by the\u00a0Head of State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freddy Solano had recently taken over the executive presidency of PromPer\u00fa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nFreddy Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Solano Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong> is a Peruvian lawyer who, in recent months, had gained public notoriety after assuming the executive presidency of PromPer\u00fa, one of the most important entities for the tourist and commercial promotion of the country. His appointment was formalized by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism<\/strong> in April 2026, replacing Ricardo Limo, who left the position shortly before the change of government.\n\n\n

Before joining PromPer\u00fa<\/strong>, Solano <\/strong>developed a large part of his career in the public sector. He is a lawyer trained at the National University of Trujillo and has postgraduate studies focused on Labor Law and Social Security. His professional profile was mainly linked to public administration and labor issues, rather than tourism or foreign trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also headed Sunafil<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nOne of the most relevant positions he held was the head of Sunafil<\/strong>. During his tenure, he promoted a line of work that sought to combine labor inspection<\/strong> with mechanisms of guidance and support for companies and entrepreneurs. In various public activities, he maintained that the formalization of employment should be promoted not only through sanctions, but also through preventive and advisory actions. This approach was presented by the institution in meetings with business associations and chambers of commerce from different regions of the country.\n\n\n

<\/a>Her arrival at\u00a0PromPer\u00fa\u00a0<\/strong>occurred in a particularly sensitive context. First, he was appointed general manager of the entity in March 2026 and just a month later was promoted to executive president. The speed of that promotion caught the attention of the tourism sector, because the institution is usually led by professionals with direct experience in tourism promotion, foreign trade, or international markets.<\/p>\n\n\nThe ceremony took place at the Government Palace and represented a new change in the cabinet, amid the crisis facing EsSalud. Photo: YouTube\n\nThe appointment <\/strong>generated mixed reactions. The Government presented it as an administrative replacement within a strategic entity for the Peruvian economy. However, representatives of the tourism industry expressed concern about Solano's lack of specific experience in that sector. Some business organizations pointed out that PromPer\u00fa requires a highly technical profile due to the complexity of international promotion campaigns, attracting tourists, and opening markets for Peruvian exporters.\n\nThe criticisms were not only focused on his professional training, but also on the political moment in which the appointment occurred. The decision was interpreted by some actors in the sector as an unexpected change made a few months before the installation of a new government administration. Various business representatives asked that the institution maintain technical continuity and stability in a stage considered key to the recovery and expansion of Peruvian tourism.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
