The truth is that Pedro Castillo still has not defined the premier who will lead his fourth Council of Ministers in less than seven months in government.
Yesterday there was some clarity when former Defense Minister Jorge Nieto revealed to this newspaper that Castillo had summoned him to “talk.” Nieto denied that he had been offered a cabinet position – at least before that appointment – but other sources pointed out that the former head of Culture is a strong option to be prime minister.
The same sources indicated that the sociologist had even set conditions to accept the position: coordinate directly with the president, without intermediary advisers; have more female ministers; and if the president wants to appoint more staff in the future, they must be qualified.
