Juan José Santiváñez must respond to the list of questions
Acuña’s statements come after theThe Congress of the Republic approved with 41 votes in favor, 22 against and 25 abstentions to question the Minister of the InteriorJuan José Santivañez Antúnez. This forces the Minister of the Interior to respond before the Congress of the Republic next Wednesday, October 2, to answer a list of 29 questions related to his management in the fight against citizen insecurity.

Within these considerations, the increase in criminal acts affecting security in various regions of the country was detailed; likewise, the negative impact that this has generated on investments at all levels was emphasized.
“That the Home Officeas the governing body, is the institution responsible for dealing with citizen insecurity. However, to date, no concrete and decisive action has been observed to combat delinquency, organized crime and generate, through the sector, an environment of confidence in the population in the face of criminal acts that put their physical integrity, life and property at risk,” was detailed in the interpellation motion.
In this document, on behalf of the Congress of the Republicthe reasons why he would be asked to respond to the 29-question interpellation document before the national representation were reported.
“In a recent recording broadcast in several media outlets, a conversation is heard that supposedly involves the Minister of the Interior, Juan José Santiváñez, and Captain PNP Junior Esquivel Yarlequé, known as ‘Culebra’, in which details about his appointment as minister would be discussed. According to these audios, Boluarte would have asked Santiváñez to close the Division of Investigation of High Complexity Crimes (Diviac), a unit charged with investigating the president’s brother, Nicanor Boluarte, and his former lawyer, Matthew Castaneda.”, it was argued.
