His unfortunate and insensitive statements have generated a series of criticisms and a request for an interpellation motion.
The words of the head of Midagri were given last Friday, August 30, during an official activity in Moquegua.
The Minister of State was asked about hunger in Peru and the official surprised once again with his answer.
“(What do you think? Is there hunger in Peru or not?) I always talk about the rural sector. In the rural sector, those who work do not go hungry and that is the message we want to give,” said Manero.
In an Ipsos survey for Peru21it was revealed that 42% of Peruvians have not been able to eat at some point in the last month due to lack of money. In rural areas the figure even rises to 51%.
Regarding his summons to Congress, Manero said that he will attend Parliament on Monday, but clarified – quoted by Exitosa – that his presence in the Legislative Palace is due to the installation of the Agrarian Commission.
However, the parliamentary working group said that the minister had been summoned on Monday, September 2, to clarify the context of his controversial statements on hunger in Peru.
In addition, it will have to report on the sector’s budget for the year 2024-2025.
