“A totally predictable decision that consolidates irregularity (…) is a context in which Mrs. Espinoza, at least in the light of the figures and of the fiscal folders, apparently is very uncomfortable for power. Because we are talking about investigations against high corruption in public power and that is quite serious,” said RPP.

Along the same lines, López mentioned that Espinoza will not put any resistance to what is decided by the JNJ, as announced in the morning during his last press conference against the Public Ministry. His legal defense said they will follow the established order, communicating to the Board of Prosecutors Supreme the situation to begin the legal succession within the institution.
“She is not going to be any resistance or anything like that, because that already corresponds to the Board of Supreme Prosecutors for the legal succession to occur (…) In short, Mrs. Espinoza is not going to resist this situation at all and already remains in the hands of the Board of Supreme Prosecutors for the provisional succession line that corresponds because it is a suspension,” he said.
Jnj consumes his revenge and suspends Delia Espinoza from the position of prosecutor of the nation
The National Board of Justice (JNJ) consumed its revenge and suspended Delia Espinoza, prosecutor of the Nation for six months, considering that she did not comply with a resolution that ordered her to replenish Patricia Benavides as head of the Public Ministry. The precautionary measure will be applied from the notification of the resolution.
During the session in which his suspension was discussed, Delia Espinoza did not attend and his defense denounced that the procedure was arbitrary and unconstitutional, pointing out lack of procedural guarantees. They also requested the Minister María Teresa Cabrera, who proposed the suspension, for alleged conflict of interest. In addition, the JNJ separated the counselor Francisco Távara from the debate for having previously opted on the case.
The announcement generated strong criticism from the National Human Rights Coordinator (CNDDHH) and citizens who consider it a blow to the autonomy of the Public Ministry. There is also concern for what some interpret as an advance of political interference in justice bodies, which would put the separation of powers at risk.
