Congressmen from the Alliance for Progress (APP) Lady Camones and from Peru Libre Francis Paredes questioned that the minister clings to the role of the control body, when it was the Minem who signed the resolution appointing Salaverry. Regardless of the role of the Comptroller, the holder of this portfolio was the first filter.
“The Comptroller is going to tell us what we have to do to avoid doing things that are not in accordance with the law,” the minister added. But the resolution is already made. González Toro and President Pedro Castillo appointed Salaverry.

Sources from the Comptroller responded that they do not know where the minister gets the report on the appointment of Salaverry will be made public next week.
Last Thursday it had transpired that Minister González asked Salaverry to resign, but the former congressman refused and replied that he will talk with President Castillo. Before the Energy and Mines Commission, the head of Minem rejected that version.
But sources with knowledge of this case responded that the minister’s argument of waiting for the Comptroller’s file responds more to buying time, amid serious questions and an ongoing interpellation process, to find another solution.
