for the congressman Robert Chiabraof Alliance for Progressthere is nothing to expect from the president’s message peter castle in his first year in office. Corruption investigations against him discredit him.
What is expected from Pedro Castillo’s message?
With these people nothing is expected. The president has a permanent message of division with the Peruvians, with a prime minister who is not at all conciliatory and who in all these Decentralized Councils of Ministers every ten minutes the only thing they have done is cover up their incompetence, blaming Congress, to the media and now to the justice system. If those people who go out to justify the unjustifiable are going to endorse all the signs and evidence of corruption, because it is no longer about suspicion, what is the president going to tell us?

What do you think of what Bruno Pacheco revealed about police promotions?
We have to salute the work that the Nation’s prosecutor, Patricia Benavides, is doing. I believe that the delivery of Pacheco is an effect of the work that the Prosecutor’s Office is doing. When they found that $20,000 for Pacheco, she gave four versions. This is the fifth version that comes close to reality, that money was the payment in exchange for promotions to PNP generals; and that was said by General Bueno and he passed through lukewarm water.
Do you think there are votes for vacancy?
It is a shame. It is not only his secretary (Bruno Pacheco), which the president himself appointed; the former Minister of Transportation, who also put Castillo; but now they are his relatives. Why should Castillo follow? Because of his quality as a person, because of his management capacity or because there are not 87 votes? Because there are not 87 votes.
How do you think the Government will act in the face of what Bruno Pacheco says?
They will do the classic: divide, discredit and disqualify. There is a retaliation policy of removing officials, as happened with Daniel Soria. And they will surely do it with the Public Ministry.
