Walter Gutierrez on Palace cameras: ‘There’s no argument that this is classified information’

Former Ombudsman Walter Gutierrez questioned the referee’s decision Justinian Romero, which rejected the prosecutor’s request to seize surveillance footage from the presidential residence and the Government Palace in the Yenifer Paredes case; when considering that there are “no arguments” to assert that this information is “reserved”.

“We must bear in mind that there is a rule in national regulations that information in the hands of the state is generally public. This is a general rule. In exceptional cases, this may be a secret, it may be classified information; but for this it must be classified and qualified as such,” he said in News extension.

“But the information that we are talking about is clearly public information, because the Transparency Law and the Law on Access to Information define very clearly what is meant by classified or classified information that is relevant to national security, that it is relevant to security. territory related to personal safety. There is no argument that this is confidential information or that it affects national security,” he added.

Moreover, Gutierrez argued that prosecution asks for “very limited” information, citing images that purportedly confirm that Yennefer Paredes infiltrated the palace before the government headquarters was raided.

Remember Judge Justinian Romero rejected a request from the prosecutor’s office to seize the recordings of surveillance cameras in the presidential residence and the Government Palace dated August 8, 9 and 10 in the case of the daughter-in-law of President Pedro Castillo.

The judge of the Eighth National Preparatory Court of Inquiry declared inadmissible the request of the public prosecutor Hans Aguirre that Yennefer Paredes She was at the Executive Headquarters when the police and the prosecutor’s office went to her preliminary arrest.

“He is a judge who was conservative and perhaps fearful, but I believe that this resolution should read the following: what I can sanction can incriminate the president. And, of course, it can incriminate him, ”Walter Gutierrez said about this.

“We are talking about the fact that the President of the Republic, according to Article 118 of the Constitution, is obliged not only to execute, but also to ensure the execution of court decisions; because it may also entail a personal cover-up,” he added.

About Ministers of Labor and Justice

Elsewhere, the former ombudsman has sharply questioned the role of the ministers of labor and justice, Alexander Salas D Felix Cherowhom he accused of not doing their job of protecting the president Peter’s castle accusations against him.

“The Minister of Labor does not work in his field, and the Minister of Justice obstructs justice. He uses his time, he uses the resources of the state, he uses the space of the state to protect the president from actions that are not actions of the government, which are not state policy or state policy, but protect him from criminal actions. “, he sentenced.
