Carlos Heiko: I told Pedro Castillo “that he leaves the doors wide open for corruption”

Former Secretary General of the Presidential Administration Carlos Jacob explained that he decided to support Peter’s castle in the second round, but did not communicate with the already head of state until he was called after the case of $ 20,000 found in the then secretary of the Government Palace exploded Bruno Pacheco.

“At that time it was considered Bruno Pacheco It was the “black sheep”, the one who committed this crime, but it was him (one), they did not think that it was beyond him, and it was from there that I received a call from Peter’s castle to support him in management, and it seemed logical to me to help him at that moment, because I saw that progress could be made, it could be improved, but after a few weeks I was able to discern what the problems were, ”he said in an interview CNN en Español.

“I identified these problems, I spoke with the president, but they continued in the same erratic direction and, above all, in a cover-up, which led to them reaching a point where they have five criminal complaints and, above all, need to be going to prosecution at every moment. I made this clear in my resignation letter: the doors to corruption were wide open and that is exactly what happened,” he added.

Scandalous CNN interview

Elsewhere, in an interview with CNN, the former official indicated that the secretary general, a position he held, prepares the president’s agenda; however, he acknowledged the existence of “shadow advisers who make these decisions with the same Peter’s castle”as well as the controversial interview he gave to this international network.

“Then I expressed my disagreement with this completely wrong decision, but they made the decision: the head of the communications department, Jaime Idrogo, with the people accompanying him and, obviously, Peter’s castle. It was practically a fait accompli on Thursday afternoon, and you (CNN) had already been agreed to deliver the equipment, ”he recalled.

Believing that the CNN interview “undressed in front of the whole world Peter’s castle and his lack of knowledge about the basic issues of governance”, Heiko indicated that the head of state is not ready to give interviews, “because he cannot answer questions that put him in a risky situation on issues that may be obvious to many, but for to him they form his complete ignorance of things, especially in matters of government.
