Ortiz: TC rules in favor of Fujimori with “votes of magistrates questioned for their political affinity”
The former Minister of Culture and relative of a victim of the La Cantuta case, Gisela Ortiz, assured this Friday that in the ruling of the Constitutional Court in favor of freeing the former dictator Alberto Fujimori, the political preferences of the magistrates Ernesto Blume, José Luis Sardón and Augusto Ferrero on the rights of citizens.
“What we have to regret are these decisions made by State institutions without taking into account the rights that assist us who are also Peruvians. Rather, what they demonstrate are the political preferences of some magistrates and the fragility of our institutions that do not guarantee the legality or constitutionality of the norms,” said Ortiz Perea in dialogue with TV Peru.
He also recalled that the pardon was already annulled in 2018 after a ruling by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.
“What could have changed from that date so that now the TC -in addition to three votes of magistrates who have questions precisely because of their political affinity with Fujimori- has arranged to give him a freedom that does not belong to Alberto Fujimori?”, criticized the former head of the Mincul.
