Peruvian Congress Museum Restoration Halted: Millions Spent, Project Abandoned

Millions Wasted: Peru's Congress Museum Restoration Abandoned Amidst Concerns of Inefficiency. Lima, Peru – The restoration project of the Museum of Congress and Inquisition in Lima has ground to a halt, despite nearly 5 million soles already spent. According to a recent report by América Noticias, only 30% of the project is complete, and the work has been deemed unviable due to structural risks. "Documents we obtained show a series of inefficiencies and questionable approvals," stated the América Noticias report. The project, originally scheduled for completion in 2024, now stands abandoned, raising questions about accountability and the use of public funds. The video report includes images of the dilapidated building and official documents that highlight the financial irregularities. The incident underscores the need for greater transparency and oversight in public works projects in Peru.
