The spokesperson for the Alliance for Progress (APP), Eduardo Salhuana, referred to the head of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM), Mirtha Vásquez, and considered that there is a distance between the prime minister and the head of state, Pedro Castle. He also mentioned that Vásquez’s handling of the mining issue “has been disastrous.”
“Unfortunately we believe that things have not gone well. One, leadership has not been exercised. (…) So far, there is a gap between the president and the prime minister. His conduct on the mining issue has been truly disastrous, allowing the social violence exercised in Ayacucho. In other words, he sold an anti-mining and anti-investment image that really did us a lot of damage, “he said in conversation with Exitosa.
