The mayor of Ate, Franco Vidal, urged the President José Jerí to “stop dancing and meaningless traveling” and, instead, arrange support for vulnerable people in the Ate district.
During a broadcast on Kick, Vidal visited two homeless people and considered that it is the State’s task to help them. In that context, he addressed Jerí directly and urged him to address these matters.
“These people would like to be in a house with a roof, with water. Not being cold, not hungry. It’s not the job of the municipality, it’s the job of the Government. You have the resources there and you have the programs. What is happening? Instead of dancing, instead of traveling pointlessly, you have to be here,” he said.
“José Jerí, this message is for you. Stop dancing, stop traveling pointlessly. Here in Lima, in Peru, this is the sad reality,” he added.
“Here at Ate we no longer expect anything from you”
Likewise, he considered that he was wrong to expect new changes after Jerí’s inauguration. “I’m tired of waiting for you and I regret it, I really regret having said that this Government can make a change. I no longer want a single work. Here in Ate we no longer expect anything from you,” he said.
Also, he assured that the works carried out in Ate have been carried out with taxes paid by the residents of the district and support from the Municipality of Lima. He assured that “neither in the Government of Dina Boluarte nor in the Government of José Jerí could a single work be done.”
“You have gone from being a congressman to being president overnight. But you do not have the experience, as I have, of knowing the reality of the townspeople and the people on the street,” he mentioned.
His disagreement also extended to the members of the cabinet: “When are you going to make your ministers work? Those are the people who have to help, people who are homeless, people who don’t have a roof over their heads.”
