He even assured that there are coup sectors that affect governability.
The minister gave these statements during a working visit to the city of Chiclayo (Lambayeque) to encourage the first gastronomic meeting called “Travel with flavor”.

When asked if the five complaints filed by the Public Ministry weaken Pedro Castillo’s legal situation, he replied as follows: “I believe that it is the opposite, that the situation of the president (Pedro Castillo) is more solid. To date there is not a single fact, test or evidence that relates him to illegal acts in the exercise of their public functions.
“I think there are four to 10 complaints, but it strengthens the position of the president who is concurring (Fiscalía de la Nación). They are clarifying with precision. The justice system has its prerogatives, and due process must be investigated with irrefutable evidence.”

However, he specified that, in the midst of the disagreements, the Government executes a work agenda. “We do not lower our guard, we continue to promote stability and concord in the midst of the health emergency and the international crisis,” Sánchez emphasized.
