The head of the Supreme Court asked President Pedro Castillo to urgently invoke all the powers of State and constitutionally autonomous bodies to promote a space for dialogue that makes it possible to achieve consensus and minimum agreements to restore stability and social peace, in the framework of unrestricted respect for the democratic rule of law and the current constitutional order,” he said.
Lines before, Barrios expressed his concern about the political crisis in which we constantly find ourselves.
“We express our deep concern about the persistence of the political crisis in our country, whose dimensions put democratic institutions, good governance, the fundamental rights of people and the country’s economic progress at serious risk,” he said.
At the conference, it was also considered that these issues of social interest should be prioritized on the national agenda:
- The guarantee of democratic governance
- Strengthening the fight against corruption and the justice system.
- The validity and guarantee of fundamental rights
- Stability and economic development.
