The most important NGO dedicated to promoting ethics and fighting corruption, Proethicsexpressed concern about the constant actions of the president peter castle that “aim to obstruct the action of justice and also aggravate the damage to the presidential institution.”
Through an official publication, the organization that ensures transparency in our country, listed a series of acts committed by Castillo since the corruption investigations against him began and that would be part of a strategy to hinder justice:
- Last night, the Minister of the Interior appointed two weeks ago, Mariano González, who had organized a high-profile police team to support the investigations led by the National Prosecutor’s Office in the investigations of President Castillo and his entourage, was removed without explanation.
- In January, the Attorney General of the State, Daniel Soria, had been illegally removed. He had denounced the president and was preparing a request for the then Attorney General to annul the suspension of the investigation into President Castillo.
- In June, worrying signs emerged that the government-appointed prosecutor, María Caruajulca, was acting in the interests of the president under investigation, rather than the interests of the Peruvian state.
- At the beginning of July, a bill was presented to Congress to criminalize the publication of information of public interest on ongoing investigations, coinciding with a similar proposal already advanced in the Legislature.
These facts lead Proética to consider necessary the departure of the President of the Republic “by constitutional means” and the immediate advancement of the general elections”, in order to resolve the problems of a structural crisis.
“It is necessary that political leaders, together with citizens committed to democracy, understand the seriousness of the degradation of the Nation’s chief magistracy and assume an even more determined defense of the institutions and values that sustain our bicentennial, but fragile, republic, which we are obliged to preserve”, refers the NGO.
