Starting on Friday, December 13, Juan José Santivañez will have the power to sign ministerial resolutions to retire officers with the rank of major, commanders and colonels. But the minister is not just a table of parties, he does have the possibility of discerning the list sent by the Qualification Council. The same thing happens with Dina Boluarte, she will have to sign the supreme resolutions that remove the PNP generals, but she can also, at her discretion, stop doing so. In addition, it has the power to request additional explanations from the police command regarding the evaluations carried out.
DELIBERATION
Sources from Perú21 in the Qualification Council have assured this newspaper that they seek to ensure that there are no abuses or revenge when issuing the blacklist of retirement passes.
But, since August of this year, the retirement process has been covered with a cloud of politicking. It was Minister Santiváñez himself at a Meeting of the Police Command (Recopol) in Ica who said: “The police command, who are responsible for the evaluation, will take into account all the criteria provided for in the law to make the fairest decision in this process(…), but let it be clear that one of the criteria is compliance with the provisions that my management has established and that must be fully complied with.” What are the minister’s orders?
A few weeks ago, a bill presented by congressmen known as ‘The Children’ It was discussed in the Legislative Defense Commission. This proposed an exceptional modality to send uncomfortable officers to retirement: the transfer to extraordinary retirement. But in the face of pressure from citizens and the press, this claim has not yet seen the light of day. Why promote an extemporaneous process? Clearly, to harm the police officers whom the Boluarte government perceives as enemies. Of course, the main person affected was going to be Colonel Harvey Colchado.
“One of the reasons for retirement is, for example, that an officer has been in the rank for more than four years. From the fifth or sixth year onwards they can apply for a promotion, but if they are not promoted, logically they do not have a vacancy and they have to give opportunity to upcoming promotions. I understand that Colonel Colchado, as well as other officers, has been in the rank for many years, I think he is about 10 years old,” Santiváñez said a few days ago.
Will the Government send officers who are uncomfortable to it to retirement? In the next few hours we will know.
