Dina Boluarte
aerial obsession
What does it matter about citizen insecurity, the censorship of a minister or the maneuvers and blackmail of illegal miners to extend the Reinfo. What’s up! All of this, it seems, is trifles for the government of Dina Boluarte, which stubbornly persists in the onerous purchase of 24 fighter planes for US$3.5 billion, generating suspicions. For now, it is public—as recorded by Mindef itself—that delegations of aircraft manufacturers from France, Sweden and the United States meet with Air Force authorities to present proposals. Why so much despair? Uhm. Because?
Raúl Pérez-Reyes – I
Flannel to order
Raúl Pérez-Reyes resumed his role as flannelero, sorry, as squire, sorry, as Minister of Transportation and Communications, and came out all gallant to defend his little boss, President Dina Boluarte. And as it could not be otherwise, he justified his absence at CADE 2024, which was held in Arequipa. “If a presentation is proposed for the president, for her to explain, (…) it is not an interview, it is a presentation that makes general government policy and it is not appropriate for there to be comments…”, he argued. Oh yes, be more sincere and recognize that the president, with her 4% approval rating in tow, is terrified of uncomfortable questions.
Raúl Pérez-Reyes – II
He was offended
The head of the MTC also referred to the total absenteeism of representatives of the Executive Branch in the business conclave. Half offended, he said that the ministers did not receive any invitation. “Only the Minister of Economy was invited, one does not go where one is not invited,” he alleged. Oh, how fine.
Julio Demartini
Pure makeup
The Minister of Development and Social Inclusion, Julio Demartini, announced that in 2025 Qali Warma will be replaced by Wasi Mikuna, a Quechua word that means home-cooked food or homemade food. Do you think the name change will erase Qali Warma’s serious allegations of spoiled food? Furthermore, he added that if the claims and complaints continue with the new program, only then will he take “a step aside.” Times when ministers did know what political responsibility was.
