Thus, today it was learned through the Transparency Standard portal that former congressman Roger Nájar, previously called to be the prime minister, today he visited the Government Palace.
The record indicated that Nájar attended government palace and had a conversation with the head of state for almost three hours. The portal indicated that the entry time from 4:40 pm to 7:25 pm
Nájar has had a certain closeness with the ruling party, since months ago he was recommended by the general secretary of Peru Libre, Vladimir Cerron, to preside over the Council of Ministers; however, this proposition was never carried out.
