Behind the visit of María del Carmen Alva to Spain, deputy Antón Gómez-Reino presented before the Congress of Deputies an initiative to exhort the Executive Power of said nation to carry out all political and diplomatic actions, in order to support the institutionality in Peru and “promoting respect for the popular will expressed democratically at the polls,” which won the president Pedro Castillo.
