Congressmen from various benches spoke after the swearing in of Dina Boluarte as the first female president of Peru, after the vacancy of Pedro Castillo due to a frustrated coup d’état, and called for the formation of an “experienced” Ministerial Cabinet.
The former speaker of Parliament Maria Del Carmen Alva (Popular Action) asked that Boluarte Zegarra convene a “decent cabinet, with people who have a moral and professional profile”.
“We have spent a year and four months with people who have not done anything, the country is paralyzed. All Peruvians need their ministers to work, their Executive to work.”he expressed.

“On behalf of Congress we have always been working, approving projects for the population. That speech that we did nothing is their speech. Let’s hope that changes.”he added.
For his part, Sigrid Bazan (Cambio Democrático) asked that the head of state fulfill the electoral promises she made as part of the presidential plank of Pedro Castillo and Perú Libre.
“We have worked with the vice president in a positive way. I have even approached her office in the Ministry of Development and Inclusion with mobilizations with common pots, she has always attended them, I have a very good impression of what her work has been in terms of Midis ”he stated.
“We hope that as president she will comply with what she has announced today, not only about unity and the cabinet that she will have to convene from the broadest base, but also that she fulfills the promises that she made within the presidential board of Pedro Castillo and that It has been a left-wing formula that democratically won the elections”he added.
While, Roberto Chiabra (Not Grouped) requested that the new head of the Ministerial Cabinet be a person “of experience, that generates tranquility and consensus”and that the new Council of Ministers be broad-based.

“It should be a stage of correcting errors. We have all made mistakes, we are all responsible for what has happened to us. I think it is time to seek consensus among all of us and each one to do homework. The priority task that Congress has to do is a political reform so as not to make mistakes when making choices.”he stressed.
“It has to be a cabinet with an experienced prime minister, who generates calm and consensus, and a broad-based cabinet, where the best professionals are, people who have a lot to lose. Let’s not look for friends because we started badly “narrowed.
Finally, Maria Aguero (Perú Libre) did not rule on the swearing in of Dina Boluarte itself, but insisted that “private interests” led Pedro Castillo to announce the dissolution of Congress and call a national emergency government for 100 days.
“Private interests have induced him to do this. The way it is launched, common sense. I’m looking for even an asylum there and from there I jump. Someone induced him: ‘do it, you have the power and we are going to support you’”sentenced.
