Rodrigo Chalco, regional candidate in Puno, claimed the regional government receives only S/400 million, but official figures show a total 2026 budget of S/3.682 billion, with S/983 million for projects. The claim is factually incorrect, likely a campaign misstatement. This matters as it misinforms voters on fiscal allocations ahead of regional elections.
