Far from reflecting on the use he gives to State resources, the president peter castle recounted other occasions on which the presidential plane was misused and assured that he will continue to use it to travel with his ministers and family.
“Today the president is not wanted to travel with his family. Today they do not want the president to use the presidential plane to visit the towns, the provinces. I inform you that I am going to continue using the presidential plane to go down to all the regions of the country, together with the ministers, authorities and the entourage of the presidential family.”, he expressed yesterday in Ayacucho.
The same person who during the electoral campaign promised to sell the presidential plane and use the money for health and education, this time has a different view on the assignment of State aircraft to government palace.

“Since they have nothing else to do, they even talk about the presidential plane. What happened before? The drunkenness and other things that occurred inside the presidential plane. Why don’t they talk about the presidential plane when it even had drugs inside?”, he apologized.
Congress puts the patch
The head of the Defense Commission, Diego Bazan (Avanza País), spoke clearly about Castillo’s statements.
“On June 23, Fray Vásquez (suspect “Lay Vásquez”) was already a fugitive from justice, this issue has to be proven; That is why we have requested investigative powers. Tomorrow we enter the formal request and vote on Thursday in plenary”, he held to Peru21.
Regarding his new request for authorization to travel abroad, he added that his last participation outside the country “It was unfortunate because it damaged international relations with several brother countries”.
Robert Chiabra (not grouped) warned that the presidential trips could end if the Nation’s prosecutor files an accusation against the president for corruption in his government.
Alejandro Soto, APP spokesman, indicated that his entire bench agrees not to authorize the president’s trip abroad “for the constant paperwork that he does and that dent the image of Peru”.
