congressman Alex Walls from Free Peru defended the appointment of Felix Chero Medina as Minister of Justice and Human Rightsin place of the respondent Angel Yldefonso Narro. He considered that this official cannot be questioned for his performance as a professional, since from the opposition he was reminded that He was a lawyer for a person sentenced for rape.
“The exercise of the legal profession allows for legal defenses that are later questioned by society itself. I believe that this precedent does not have to be a course to question the designation for the responsibility that is given. What we are questioning is the exercise of the work of a legal professional, ”he declared to Canal N.
In this way, Alex Walls asked Congress to let Chero Medina and question their performance in office if there are reasons: “Question people when they are in office. Everything has been archived, everything ended up being archived, there were appeals and it did not end up being a consensual sentence or res judicata. I don’t see why (the designation) can’t be suitable,” he added.
They do not rule out questioning Félix Chero
Felix Chero Medina was sworn in as Minister of Justice and Human Rights on Saturday, March 26, without considering that his record for defend someone convicted of rape and being convicted in the first instance for the crime of patronage would take its toll on a sector of Congress, which has spoken out against his appointment and does not rule out promoting or supporting a motion of interpellation against him, as is the case of Renovación Popular and we are Peru.
On the other hand, one of the facts that did not go unnoticed during the appointment of the new Minister of Justice is that Chero Medina always held important positions when John Carrasco Millions was integrating a ministerial portfolio.
In August 2021, he was appointed as general director of the Police Ombudsman and, in November of the same year, he assumed the head of the cabinet of the Ministerial Office of the Ministry of Defense (Mindef).
