Ministers reject that Congress recommended denouncing Castillo for common crimes

Ministers Félix Chero (Justice and Human Rights), Alejandro Salas (Culture) and Roberto Sánchez (Foreign Trade and Tourism) spoke after Congress recommended that the National Prosecutor’s Office denounce the president peter castle for common crimes.

First of all, Chero assured that Castillo Terrones accepts “serenely” the decision of Congress and said that it intends to cover up a new presidential vacancy attempt.

“The president assumes it with serenity because he has respectfully gone to the prosecution. He was predictable despite not having solid legal support. Still they have. However, I believe that the entire population knows and understands that the only thing they are trying to do is cover up a possible vacancy attempt that in a democratic state, and I believe that in a solid state of institutions, this cannot be allowed”he underlined.

The head of the Minjusdh referred that within the constitutional framework, and taking into account the background and precedents, various former presidents of the Republic have not been able to be investigated or accused during their efforts.

“There is not a single element of evidence – I am not talking about evidence – that links the President of the Republic with any act of what this man manifests. We have to distinguish who is carrying out the technical electoral process, whether it is the ONPE or the National Elections Jury”narrowed down

Meanwhile, his colleague from Culture, Alejandro Salas, asked that the businessman Zamir Villaverde presents only one piece of evidence to the Public Ministry that incriminates the president in alleged acts of corruption.
