Asked about his position regarding an eventual advancement of presidential, vice-presidential and congressional elections, Boluarte Zegarra indicated that it is “a probability within the legal framework”.
Last Tuesday, the head of the Ministerial Cabinet, Hannibal Torresexplained that the head of state backed down on his intention to announce a legislative initiative to bring forward the general elections, in order to achieve “a last attempt to arrange” with Congress.
“Analyzing the situation, the president said: we are democrats, let’s make the last attempt to agree with the different forces in Congress, it may be that we will achieve it, let’s not lose hope, doctor, he told me”, he narrated.
That claim to promote an early election was questioned by congressmen from different parliamentary benches.
“It’s one more threat because it’s not just insults. For example, yesterday the same president of the Council of Ministers abruptly called those who approve of the vacancy ‘coup slop’”, warned Patricia Juárez (Popular Force) in an interview with RPP.
For her part, Lady Camones (Alliance for Progress) pointed out that the presence of Torres Vásquez in the Executive is not favorable to achieving consensus between both powers of the State.
“In his style, absolutely irresponsible and confrontational, what Prime Minister Aníbal Torres said, after the message, does not help the Executive at all, and even less will it help to achieve consensus. Opportunities are given by correcting mistakes, Mr. Prime Minister”, Camones wrote on social networks.
