Ministerial resolution 1536-2022-IN, published this Tuesday, November 1 in the legal regulations bulletin of El Peruano, bears the signature of Huerta and makes Delgado official as advisor II of his ministerial office, in a position that was vacant according to reads in the document.
As reported by Punto Final, former Minister of Health Jorge López ordered workers in his sector to make payments to a bank account owned by the mother of his children, Dervy Apaza.
