What happened a year later in the speech that Pedro Castillo gave in 2021?

July 28 this year marks the one year anniversary of the presidency of the republic, Peter’s castlewill make several announcements during his 2021 State of the Union address, for National holidays. The then-new president made promises, but how many of those promises were kept?

RPP Noticias reviewed the communication of that date and consulted with experts from various sectors who analyzed the actions Peter’s castle in this first year. Next we consider.

Pedro Castillo: Health

In the health sector, which at that time attracted everyone’s attention, since the vaccination of the population was just beginning, and the country was emerging from the second wave of covid-19, the head of state proposed during his first Message to the nation: increase the capacity of health centers and posts; expand care for non-COVID patients; prioritize the construction of a hospital in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima, and another in the valley of the Apurimac, Ene and Mantaro (VRAEM); and vaccinate at least 70% of the population by December 2021.

In this regard, former Minister of Health Oscar Ugarte assured that the ability to pay attention has not improved, on the contrary, the budget approved by the Congress of the Republic for this year for the health portfolio was lower compared to the previous year.

“The first goal of strengthening the first level of medical care was not achieved, and the staff even began to be cut, and this is because the budget was less, by almost 11 billion soles. What was cut out? Downsizing, acquisitions, drug procurement, cancer control program. And, precisely, this is one of the things that he suggested (Peter’s castle): Tumor enlargement. It has no consistency,” Ugarte said.

Pedro Castillo: civil security and peasant rounds

According to a technical report from the National Institute of Informatics, Between November 2021 and April 2022, 17.7% of the population over the age of 15 in urban areas were the victims of a completed criminal act, which indicates a sensitive problem of insecurity among citizens.

A year ago, The president Peter’s castle He proposed to expand the peasant patrols, as well as to allocate funds to them to strengthen the work of the police. And also, he issued a commemorative warning against foreign citizens who committed criminal acts.

“Foreign criminals will have 72 hours to leave the country,” the head of state said. Peter’s castleduring his Message to the nation on National holidays, what July 28th from 2021.

Castillo at the time did not take into account the figure given in the Justice Department report that only 1.78% of the country’s prisoners are Venezuelans, i.e. 1,561 out of 85,684 prisoners by the end of 2021. Criminologist and former Interior Ministry chief of staff Nicholas Zevallos said such proposals do not solve our country’s security problems.

“Of the three proposals that the President submitted at the start of his mandate, (Rounds) was the only one that received a concrete response, with Law 3149 recognizing them (Rounds) and including them in the citizen system. safety. But in any case, it would be necessary to define mechanisms for coordination between police and patrols, which is by far the least clear in the proposal,” he said.

Zevallos added: “There was a rather embarrassing episode at the end of last year when the expulsion of Venezuelans was thwarted. In this example, it becomes extremely obvious that we are closer to the violation of human rights than to the solution of the security problems of our country. . .

Pedro Castillo: Education

“Innovation will be a priority in schools and internet connectivity is a right,” was one of the statements. Peter’s castle for the ministerial portfolio of education. But what do the numbers in this area say? That only 60% of the population at the national level have Internet services, and if we talk about the rural sector, then only 18.8%.

In this sense, Sandro Marcone, director of Digital Culture Punte Pe and specialist in educational technology, confirmed that the change of ministers did not help in the implementation of the proposals.

“This is not a groundbreaking proposal in itself, but it is a felt need and a duty. This is more noticeable in the Amazon and in the countryside in general. The president’s speech declared the right (connection to the Internet) “The practical and operational daily agenda of the Ministry of Education did not seem to reflect this. The rotation of ministers does not help The current Ministry of Education, the connectivity of educational institutions does not seem to be in its top five priorities,” said Marcone.

Pedro Castillo: Women and Vulnerable Populations

Sexual violence against women and minors is another problem the country is suffering from, and the numbers prove it: in the first six months of 2022 alone, women’s emergency centers have already treated 16% more child and teen rape cases than last year . year.

Faced with this problem, the president Peter’s castle promised last year that “for the children of Peru, the state will take over the financing of the comprehensive rehabilitation of victims of sexual violence.” Maria Choqueuanca.

“This is an obligation given and voluntarily accepted by the President of the Republic on July 28th by 2021 not implemented: I mean funding the rehabilitation of victims of sexual violence for girls and boys. The President did not know what he was proposing. The Ministry of Women’s Affairs made an attempt to create commissions, but this did not lead to anything. Restoration of children, women who have been raped should be a state policy,” he said.

In that 2021 speech, the President of the Republic, Peter’s castle, did not attach importance to other issues such as corruption, science, sports, the environment or culture. As for the latter, he barely suggested changing the name of the ministry. And he even suggested turning the Government Palace into a “museum”, but this idea was never realized.
