The Minister of Labor Employment Promotion, Alejandro Salasrecalled that the Vice President of the Republic, Dina Boluarte, asserted on one occasion, last year, that if the vacancy of the president Pedro Castillo occurred, then she would resign from office.
“You have to remember that she said that if there was a vacancy, she would resign. [Solo lo dijo una vez] Well, it’s enough that something is said once to be consistent with it, However, that is a denied assumption since the president is not going to be vacated ”, told legislators.
His statements are given a few days after Congress debates and votes on the third vacancy motion formulated against Castillo, under the grounds of permanent moral incapacity.
“A congressman said that the vacancy was going to have its share of blood, we avoid this type of language that leads the country to convulsion, the congress has to know that the Government wants solutions, for that they have been elected, the country awaits solutions , on Wednesday democracy will win, issues of national interest could be debated but instead a vacancy will be debated ”, added.
Salas Zegarra spoke these words from the Miraflores district after participating in an event on the “productive prisons” program, accompanying the head of the Justice and Human Rights portfolio, Félix Chero.
On Wednesday, December 7, President Pedro Castillo will face the third vacancy motion against him, under the grounds of permanent moral incapacity. The opposition needs 87 votes in favor to remove the head of state.
