Post also asks President Pedro Castillo to “step aside” If the situation continues, he explained to RPP Noticias, President National Society of Industry Jesus Salazar Nishi.

“If the situation continues the way it is so far, with the evidence presented, it is time for the president to realize the country and step aside, and if not, then Congress of the Republic has a great responsibility to find a political balance,” the spokesman said.

Lack of leadership in the executive branch

Not only President Pedro Castillo was interrogated, but also Prime Minister Anibal Torres, who “is not the organizer.” “Peru today he needs a person who unites all Peruvians and who will not widen the gap between Peruvians. We cannot continue to talk about rich and poor… we are a united and diverse country and we must value this diversity and build a country on it,” said Salazar Nishi.
