The Minister of Culture, Alejandro Salas Zegarra, assured this Sunday that the Constitutional Court has to give explanations to the country regarding his ruling in favor of freeing former dictator Alberto Fujimori.
“The Constitutional Court owes the country an immediate response and that sentence should be published tomorrow. I think that the sensible thing is to wait for the fundamentals of the TC because no justice in our country could surpass human rights. Meanwhile he constitutional Court do not rush to expose and exhibit the fundamentals, you are making the country continue to speculate,” Salas told the Sunday newspaper “Without half measures.”
Last Thursday, the TC declared, by majority, founded the habeas corpus in favor of Fujimori. This situation has provoked different reactions, among which stands out the position of the relatives of the victims during the regime of fujimori, who have gone once again to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to ratify not giving the pardon to the former president.

In this regard, the owner of the Mincul indicated that “The IACHR has already issued a statement regarding the pardon on a certain moment”. However, Salas considers “that the IACHR should hold an extraordinary session to issue some kind of statement regarding this ruling of the Constitutional Court” because the TC should not have “issued that ruling”.
On the other hand, Zegarra Rooms warned that there are constitutional alternatives to annul the recent ruling of the Constitutional Court.
“Let us remember that the TC has a regulation where it establishes that, once the rapporteur of the Constitutional Court gives the sentence to the magistrates, they have two business days to sign it. But there is a parallel situation, when there are discordant votes, the magistrates who have voted discordantly have seven working days to take their grounds to the rapporteur and he will work on them”, ended the Minister.
