Miscellaneous congressmen have indicated that the continuity of the holder of the Mininter in office must be reconsidered, in view of the urgent need to improve citizen security.
In this context, parliamentarians Gladys Echaiz (Honor and Democracy), Jaime Quito (Socialist Caucus) and Norma Yarrow (Popular Renewal) spoke out recently, proposing a possible departure of the minister, either through resignation or censure.
Echaiz assured that he would support a possible censorship against Santiváñez so that he leaves his position. “If here a motion of censureYes, I would support her at this time. Because I don’t see that it has a comprehensive vision of the future of the State. (The minister) only looks under his nose and does not project himself further. But hey, I can love it, but here the votes rule,” he told the press.
For its part, Quito criticized the management of Santiváñez and urged him to resign. To argue his position, the parliamentarian mentioned the increasing numbers of murders: “The interior ministerwith its plans that serve no purpose, is not going to solve anything. This man has to step aside. Peru is in the process of facing this issue. (…) The Executive has not taken steps forward. “We are almost doubling the figures from the first month of last year,” he indicated.
Finally, Yarrow He was the one who insisted the most in asking for the minister’s departure. He indicated that his permanence in office is due to political convenience for the president. Dina Boluarte: “I believe that the issue of interior minister It is already more than fallen to present a censure. (…) He is not going to resign (the interior minister) because he is the conceited one of Dina Boluarte. A mea culpa is not going to do it either, and more states of emergency cannot occur because it is clear that they do not work. (…) The PCM has declared that there will be no changes of ministers. Dina Boluarte keeps Santiváñez to take care of your affairs: take care of Nicanor (Boluarte) already (Vladimir) Cerrón and make sure that what is out of the chest does not come out; but he is not concerned about citizen safety,” he said.
Delia Espinoza also criticized the measures implemented by the Minister of the Interior
The criticisms towards Santiváñez They don’t just come from Congress. The Prosecutor of the Nation, Delia Espinozapointed out that the attack that occurred in Trujillo against the headquarters of the Public Ministry It is further evidence of the failure of the strategies implemented by the Home Office and the National Police of Peru.
“If we have reached these extremes, it means that the much-announced police intelligence nor the citizen security policy. It doesn’t exist. This is proof of the failure of the declaration of state of emergency. It is not enough to announce measures; you have to execute them. Actions are what speak, not just words,” said the head of the Public Ministry.
