After confirming his candidacy for the Senate for the Force and Freedom alliance, the former president Pedro Pablo Kuczynski He attacked the Congress of the Republic and maintained that this power of the State “is directed by bands of people who want to avoid making reforms.”
When asked to specify who he was referring to, PPK responded: “I would say (César) Acuña’s gang, the Keiko (Fujimori) and the (José) Luna gang, those are not traditional parties, they are people who have a very specific agenda and who unfortunately, perhaps unintentionally, have supported all that illegal mining, Reinfo, etc. “
In this context, Kuczynski referred to the recently made official candidacy of the leader of Fuerza Popular, for the fourth time, for the Presidency of the Republic, and others such as that of César Acuña of Alianza para el Progreso. “They are the bosses in their band games, everyone knows that Keiko was going to show up, it is logical that she was going to show up, and everyone knows that Acuña was going to show up and did show up,” he stressed.
“Alvarez Cabinet is defensible”
In an interview with RPP, he also referred to President José Jerí and commented that “to the surprise of many,” the congressman “is handling himself in an intelligent manner.”
“He is confronting, at least in the media, the whole issue of extortion and crime, which is very good. He has a very defensible cabinet. There are people who disagree but I think it is a very defensible cabinet. Behind it there is a much bigger problem, that Peru has been completely dismantled in recent years, we all know, crime, but worse than that is that we have a Congress run by gangs,” he said.
At another time, PPK responded to those who hold him responsible for this increase in crime for having allowed thousands of Venezuelans to enter the country during his government.
“When I was president we left the door open so that people with some credential could enter Peru. A million entered, there were doctors, nurses, professional and technical people. The Aragua Train came much later, (Nicolás) Maduro released imprisoned people and somehow sent them here. The others came much later, do not forget that they disembarked me from the Presidency in March 2018 and the people came in 2019, 2020, 2021, in COVID, before COVID and after. I think it is a criticism that has no statistical basis,” he said.
