Aníbal Torres criticizes JNJ for appointing magistrates who had a master's degree and a doctorate "practically at the same time"

The president of the Council of Ministers, Aníbal Torres, questioned the National Board of Justice (JNJ) by mentioning that magistrates who have obtained their master’s and doctorate degrees have been appointed in an “impossible” way.

“You have to learn to tell the truth. The holy scriptures say that you have to tell the truth, but if you tell the truth, the attacks come. How are we going to improve the justice system if we don’t tell the truth? How are we going to improve if the National Board of Justice appoints magistrates who, for example, have obtained their master’s and doctoral thesis practically at the same time?questioned this Tuesday.

“Here we are in a university. Is that possible? That’s impossible”he added during a meeting with local authorities and civil organizations for the development of Tingo María, in San Martín.

Aníbal Torres took advantage of his speech to reiterate his questions against the National Prosecutor, Patricia Benavides, who is in charge of various investigations against the President of the Republic, Pedro Castillo.

“How are we going to improve if we don’t say that it’s not right that the prosecutor’s office investigating Los Necks Blancos, that tremendous corruption in the justice system, has been dismantled? How are we going to keep quiet about that fact, that the prosecutor who is investigating the sister (of the Nation’s prosecutor) be removed?”he stated.

The Prime Minister, at another time, assured that the government of Pedro Castillo has achieved “much more than other governments in five years”; but he stated that he should be allowed to work.

“We have to let him work because if we are going to be permanently in that we have to vacate him due to moral incapacity, we have to make him resign, he has to be suspended from professional practice, he has a constitutional accusation, how do you think the government is going to dedicate 24 hours of the day for the benefit of the country”pointed out in allusion to the fact that Castillo Terrones must govern and also defend itself.
