According to La República, Alan García signed an urgent decree this morning that will authorize, for the first time, an extraordinary compensation for the families of soldiers that were killed in the latest skirmishes in the zone “VRAE.” The amount to be paid to each family will be S/. 55,000 soles (about US $18,000) per soldier killed during the conflict.
The Defense Department will be in charge of the fulfillment of this new decree, which follows the declaration of beneficiaries of personnel killed in combat.
This decree appears after the government has received much criticism for the manner in which it has handled the situation of injured soldiers in the VRAE zone.
The government has pledged that this decree will be a “one time only” authorization, in honor of the military personnel that recently died.
