“This Congress sent a signal not only to Peru, but also to the international community: we cannot allow a person with five complaints to the National Prosecutor’s Office to go abroad to represent all Peruvians. Today, Peruvians do not feel represented by the president. Castillo, he said.

The parliamentarian expressed regret that the President Peter’s castle decided to remain silent during the interrogation to which he was subjected by the national prosecutor, Patricia Benavidezas part of the investigation that follows him over his alleged interference with the promotion process of military and police officers.
