The president Dina Boluarte denied that the former president Pedro Castillo exerted pressure on her to name the questioned former official Maria Tarazona as Vice Minister of Policies and Social Evaluation of the Ministry of Development and Social Inclusion (Midis) when the current head of state led said portfolio. According to a report by “Cuarto poder”, Tarazona and the former president recorded more than 400 calls and messages between May and June 2021.
“President Pedro Castillo proposed the vice minister for Midis. On that occasion, when we evaluated her curriculum vitae before the head of Human Resources, she matched the time, it matched her profile. After that, Congress draws up a law, a law that the former president ratifies and that Servir uses to qualify the vice ministers. And she didn’t fit. She said, ‘Yes I do.’ And she appealed with some documentation that she got around. We transfer the documentation accordingly to Servir. We hope he decides, Servir said that he does not fit and we told him that he has to retire, ”Boluarte told Willax.
