Oliverio Muñoz was sworn in this Friday, November 25, as the new Minister of Energy and Mines, replacing Alessandra Herrera, who had held the position since February 1.
In an official ceremony held at the Government Palace, President Pedro Castillo swore in Muñoz Cabrera as head of the Minem.
As recalled, the Board of Directors of Parliament announced that it flatly rejected the question of confidence presented by Aníbal Torres for a project of the Executive on the referendum, after which the head of the Ministerial Cabinet submitted his resignation.
In this regard, the Minister of Labor and Employment Promotion, Alejandro Salas, affirmed that the interpretation of the message to the Nation from Castillo Terrones is that Parliament has denied confidence in the Executive Power.
“The president has said it in his message to the Nation, I think it has been made clear. The interpretation of the message to the Nation is that, that trust has been denied to the Executive Power and that is why the cabinet is in crisis “referred to RPP News.
In this sense, Salas remarked that the now former Prime Minister Aníbal Torres went to Congress to request a vote of confidence and has received a response “whose literality is the flat rejection of the question of trust”.
“On the basis of that, the Executive Branch -in this case the President of the Republic- has interpreted it that way and has given the message to the Nation accordingly”stressed the head of the MTPE.
