Likewise, it points out that Castillo Terrones, with his speech “little technical and highly ideological” he has “seriously damaged foreign policy and the good image of Peru”since their proposals have not only been “untimely and inconvenient”otherwise “absolutely negative to the interests of the country”.
“His speech, inconsistent with the tradition of Torre Tagle, has served to project a negative image in the system of civilized nations, since the only thing that can be inferred from the presidential speech is that Peru is a country where you cannot invest. ; a place where conventions and agreements are not respected and where corruption and legal insecurity prevail”he emphasizes.
The motion – which consists of a sheet of 31 questions– also assures that Pedro Castillo “has weakened” Peru’s relations with Russia, Israel, UK and Morocco.
