Democratic Bloc (Peru)

The Democratic Bloc, also called simply El Bloque or El Pacto, is the main Peruvian political coalition in the Peruvian Congress during the 2021-2026 parliamentary period and which has held the Presidency of Congress and the Board of Directors since 2021. One of its members, José Jerí, held the presidency following the vacancy of Dina Boluarte until his censure in February 2026. This coalition is known derogatorily by its critics and political opponents as "el Pacto Corrupto", the "Pacto Mafioso", the "Congressional Pact" or simply "the Pact".
