APP and the Board of Directors

The time is near

APP congressman Alejandro Soto announced that his group will define its candidate this week to preside over the new Board of Directors of Parliament. Soto ruled out that there are legislators “voiced” to lead the list and indicated that these versions are speculations of the press. However, he himself shouted at two. Lady Camones and Héctor Acuña are options, he said. Will they leave aside the guests Gladys Echaíz and Roberto Chiabra, about whom there is a certain consensus in other groups? We will know soon.

Cerrón breathes through the wound

pure piconery

“Annulment after annulment, with false moralists, has led to the urea auction being a failure and the farmers left without supplies. Minister Alencastre’s management is a complete fiasco,” wrote a furious Vladimir Cerrón on Twitter, who seems to be breathing through the wound after the new minister dismissed the head of Agrorural, the person precisely responsible for that bad tender. By the way, he was from Peru Libre and a close friend of Cerrón.

Did Palacio ask to get Betssy out?

quiet they stayed

With regard to Cerrón, no one from the government has come out to deny the owner of Pueblo Libre when he stated that his caucus voted in favor of censoring the then Minister of Labor, Betssy Chávez, on the instructions of a high-ranking representative of the Executive. “In truth, it was the highest level of the Executive that requested, through a congressman, that the bench vote for the censorship of the Minister of Labor,” he revealed. Who lowered the finger? Prime Minister Aníbal Torres or President Pedro Castillo himself? It is not known, but beyond the palace intrigues, his departure was ripe.

With the crepes done

The parade got cold

Executive sources informed this newspaper that the Great Military Parade that the Mindef had announced a few days ago is no longer going, “neither on Avenida Brasil nor on Avenida de la Peruanidad.” The ceremony would be – just like last year – at the Army General Headquarters, better known as the Little Pentagon. The fourth wave of COVID-19 would have weighed on the decision.

Prosecutor for the Sánchez Paredes case

a bad change

Superior prosecutor Frank Almanza left the Sánchez Paredes case to assume the Third Criminal Prosecutor’s Office of Junín. This decision was made by the new prosecutor of the Nation, Patricia Benavides. What is worrying is that the process against the Sánchez Paredes clan, accused of money laundering, is in its final stage and Almanza was a key player in reaching a conviction. Hopefully it wasn’t Benavides’ first bad decision.
