The congresswoman Maria del Carmen Alva confirmed that he will file a complaint against the former president this week Pedro Castillo after he publicly accused her of having requested two ministries in exchange for ensuring his permanence in office until 2026. Alva described Castillo’s statements as a “distraction” and called him “cowardly” and “misogynistic.”
Alva denied having requested ministerial positions from Castillo. “I have never asked him for anything, I would never have asked him for anything,” she said, indicating that the only intention that she and her party had from the beginning was for Castillo to “get out” of office because he considered that he represented a danger to democracy.
The former president of Congress revealed that she already sent a notarized letter to Castillo at the Barbadillo prison, which, she said, “he did not want to receive” because the former president “does not have evidence, he does not want to rectify himself.” Alva reported that the formal complaint will be presented to the Judiciary this week.
The congresswoman maintained that the accusations against her, which also involve her husband, are a strategy by the former president to divert public attention.
“This is simply a distraction, because his sentence ends this week, so he wants to distract and he hasn’t had to talk about anything else, and of course, since he is a mysogen, which he always has been, he attacks me,” he declared.
Will include Walter Ayala
Regarding the statements of Walter Ayala, Castillo’s lawyer, who has supported the former president’s version and has been accused by the congresswoman of having witnessed an alleged meeting in a helicopter, Alva announced that he will also send him a notarized letter.
Alva denied the former minister’s story about the supposed offer of ministries, arguing that the helicopter trip lasted only 15 minutes, that the people on board wore headphones (which prevents hearing conversations) and that Ayala was not present at the exchange. The congresswoman suggested that both Castillo and Ayala seek to “lengthen their trial” and avoid sentencing so that the former president can be qualified to run for the Senate.
