“We are still searching, unfortunately. I no longer have excuses to justify this insufficiency, but that is the reality, I am not going to lie,” he declared after the last session of the Council of Ministers.
According to this newspaper’s sources, the delay would be related to the president’s insistence. Dina Boluarte in appointing Alejandro Narváez as president of the state company. It has even been reported that several of the recommendations for the position have been vetoed by the head of state herself. Some candidates, despite having solid resumes, have not even been contacted.
Analyst Anthony Laub maintains that the rejection of Narváez, a leftist who ran for Congress on Verónika Mendoza’s list, is due to the fact that “he does not have the necessary credentials to remove Petroperu of its critical economic situation.”
“He opposes private management and the measures of the emergency decree, which established the company’s rescue plan. He does not have the merit to occupy that position,” he commented.
