Dario Pedrallo on cabinet changes: “Pedro Castillo’s priority is to survive”

political scientist Dario Pedraglioportal 50+1considered the cabinet changes to show that President Pedro Castillo is looking to protect himself and “survive” prosecutorial investigations or a possible new request for a vacancy before appointing the right people to those positions.

“I think that without a doubt it would be preferable that they be people with a lot of experience in these areas, who have prior knowledge, who have the technical capabilities to carry out these missions,” he commented. Air rotary.

“But I think Castillo’s priorities are quite clear: protect yourself, survive, defend against investigations. prosecution, possible vacancy. The President makes this a priority, and I think yes, this is a problem for the sector and for the country,” he added.

Among the changes made to the Cabinet of Ministers is the return Betsy Chavez take over the Ministry of Culture, replacing Alexander Salas, which went into the Labor and Employment Promotion portfolio. Bye, Gainer Alvarado moved from the Ministry of Housing to the Ministry of Transport and Communications.

“This is castling, like recycling. The one regarding Alvarado is explained by the fact that the Ministry of Transportation is under scrutiny, which is due to the many investigations that Castillo and his entourage face; and there the president decided to put someone he trusts to have a better thermometer, more control over what happens in the sector,” Pedrallo commented.

“Alvarado is one of the few ministers who accompanied Castillo from the very beginning of his term; and (this designation) is a sign that he is a person in whom you completely trust. He is in a sector that is decisive for him,” he added.

The analyst was surprised by the return Betsy Chavez to the cabinet, taking into account, he said, that she had “a lot of antibodies”, which, in her opinion, “puts her in a vulnerable position in Congress, which will be waiting there.”

About Hannibal Torres

Dario Pedraglio He also commented on the confirmation of Chief of Staff Anibal Torres after he laid out his position in a letter released to the public within a week. According to the analyst, one possibility is that everything was “somewhat planned” to make changes to the ministerial team, but in his assessment, it is quite possible that Peter’s castle did not find a replacement that meets your requirements.

“Perhaps the president did not find a replacement, as he would like. You must remember that Hannibal Torres, with the antibodies he developed, he was a fairly effective squire for the president. He fought with everyone to protect Castillo: with the public ministry, with the Congress, with the press; and that job is not necessarily easy to do,” he said.

“The other option is that the president is not interested in his new prime minister going to Congress to ask for confidence. It’s a bit more complicated, but I think that the Congress, with a new prime minister, could drop the trust and bring us closer to dissolving Parliament. It seems to favor Castillo: but if Castillo wants to survive, the proximity to a dissolution could be an incentive for some of the (legislators) who support him today to no longer support him,” he said.
