Up to 4 ministers in the sights of Congress to be questioned
Although the attempt to question Prime Minister Alberto Otárola was rejected by Congress; the cabinet of Dina Boluarte seems to have fallen into the same spiral as that of his predecessor Pedro Castillo. Thursday March 9 the interior minister was questioned by Parliament and similar motions have already been filed against other portfolio holders.
One of them is the Minister of Education for instituting Aimare mothers. The non-grouped congresswoman Susel Paredes began distributing to his fellow parliamentarians of the different benches in order to gather the necessary signatures for this motion, the same one that was already scheduled to be voted for its admission in the next plenary session.
In the same way, another one in the crosshairs is the Minister of Defense, Jorge Chavez Crestwho is questioned even by right-wing caucuses such as Renovación Popular, which has some ex-military members among its ranks. It was precisely this political force with parliamentary representation that presented —this Thursday the 9th— a second motion of interpellation against the head of the Mindef to answer for the drowned soldiers in Puno and murdered policemen in Vraem.
