Dina Boluarte before the OAS: "We hope that justice will take its course and establish responsibilities soon"

The President of the Republic, Dina Boluarteduring his participation before the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS), spoke about the political crisis that the country is going through in the midst of the protests that demand his resignation from office, the closure of Congress and the advancement of elections. The Head of State —in her speech— continued without acknowledging political responsibility for the more than 50 deaths in the mobilizations and she only highlighted that “justice must take its course and establish responsibilities soon“.

“It deeply hurts us that, in the context of the recent demonstrations in various parts of the country, the irreplaceable lives of a significant number of compatriots have been lost and that these rights may have been affected. We hope that justice will continue its course and establish responsibilities soon,” said Dina Boluarte.

Along these lines, he stated that “the only possible way out of the crisis is for it to be peaceful, constitutional, and consistent with the OAS tradition.” For this reason, he expressed that “he has asked Congress to approve the early elections as soon as possible.”

“I have asked Congress to approve the early elections as soon as possible. And I sincerely hope that friendly countries in the region will support. The only possible way out of the crisis that is both peaceful, constitutional and consistent with the tradition of the OAS and the region. I am not going to surrender to authoritarian groups that want to impose solutions that are not part of our constitutional order, nor of the democratic tradition,” he said.

Concern
