As recalled, the president of the Judiciary, Elvia Barrios Alvarado, invited the president Pedro Castillo and the head of the Congress of the Republic, José Williams (Avanza País), to a council of state to be held this Sunday 27.

According to the call sent by that State power, the meeting will be held at the Government Palace at noon “with the purpose of adopting actions that guarantee the democratic governance of the Nation, based on inter-institutional dialogue and within the framework of the Political Constitution”.

After the meeting, a public statement will be issued on the agreements adopted at the meeting at the headquarters of the Executive Branch.

It should be noted that the invitation was made by the head of the Judiciary and the authorities of the constitutional bodies of the State such as the Comptroller General of the Republic, the Ombudsman and the National Board of Justice (JNJ).
