To the surprise of many, the former mayor of Lima, Rafael López Aliaga requested the resignation of the Minister of the Interior, José Jerí, and the General Commander of the Police, Óscar Arriola, for the violence and murder of a protester during the protests last Wednesday, October 15. However, your position is in the eye of the storm because its legislative bench, days before, voted against the motion of censure of José Jerí and the Board of Directors.
From Ica, where he promoted his presidential candidacy, the leader of Renovación Popular pointed out that both officials must assume political responsibility for the unfortunate events, where the young Eduardo Ruiz died and dozens of Protestants were injured.
“We ask our president Jerí for the resignation of Minister Tiburcio, because it really cannot be, a person of intelligence cannot be on the moon. You can’t have six hours to not find out the truth. General Arriola, unfortunately, too, I think should make his position available,” he said.

He also questioned that the authorities took a long time to react to the protests and specified that the need for transparency in the management of the Interior sector and the police institution must be ensured.
Well, López Aliaga’s statements cause surprise because, days before, its legislative bench voted against the motion of censure against José Jerí and the Board of Directors. According to the vote of the Plenary Congress, 9 of the 11 members of Renovación Popular did not support the measure promoted by the left-wing benches, as they did with the vacancy of former president Dina Boluarte.
So far, the Popular Renewal bench has not presented a motion of interpellation or censure against the Minister of the Interior, Vicente Tiburcio. In this way, the words of former mayor Rafael López Aliaga fall on deaf ears because his congressmen could carry out their work of control and oversight, but they do not do so.
