Congressman Carlos Anderson supports the possibility of an advance in elections

Given the crisis that the country is facing due to the rise in prices for various products and the lack of credibility of the institutions that govern us, the call for elections has emerged as one of the solutions to the crossroads at which Peru finds itself. This morning the president of the Congress, María del Carmen Alva, left open the possibility of calling for new elections and now it was the congressman's turn Charles Anderson.

“The country almost needs to start over because what we have had these eight months in total and utter misrule cannot be prolonged. Peru is entering a very, very dark area and we don't deserve it. Citizens don't deserve this,” the former member of the Podemos Peru bench told a local radio station.

Precisely eight months into the government of President Castillo, four cabinets have passed in the Executive and after the demonstrations and controversies generated by several of its members, the formation of a fifth working group to accompany the president in decision-making would be considered.

“As much as we tell the Executive to put the right people, they have just appointed as director in the Ministry of Energy and Mines someone who has the experience of having managed a market,” Anderson added of Melvin Neber Flores Vilca who was appointed general director of mining. The questioned official was president of the Association of Traders Possessionary of the Model Market of Huancayo during the period 2020-2021, according to a publication by El Comercio.

Another questioned appointment was that of the Minister of Health, Jorge López Peña, replacing the censored Hernán Condori. López is a surgeon who was president of the Medical Corps of the National Hospital “Ramiro Prialé Prialé”. In addition, he was appointed executive director of the Regional Surgical Clinical Teaching Hospital “Daniel Alcides Carrión” (November 2020-March 2022) during the administration of the regional governor of Junín, Fernando Orihuela Rojas (Free Peru).

“We are destroying what little institutional structure exists in Peru, because if you don't have someone with experience how are you going to give them a gigantic budget... [...] There is a supreme degree of irresponsibility on the part of the Executive and there is no spirit of amendment, that has to change r,” Anderson stressed about the appointments of senior officials.

SPLIT REACTIONS

The possibility of a call for general elections is a measure that has been repeated several times, but which has been repeated by several authorities in recent weeks. “We all ask the president to step aside, here in Congress nobody barricades himself to his seat, if there have to be general elections, then there will be general elections,” were the words of the president of the Congress, María del Carmen Alva.

For his part, the Minister of Culture, Alejandro Salas, ruled out that it is a measure considered by the head of state. “Not at all (it is in his plans to resign). That would not help the country at all, he is a president who has been elected for five years and is aware that he has been in government for eight months and that he has realized that he is willing to be able to amend them, but he has also realized that he needs to work with the legislature,” he said in conversation with Exitosa.

“I don't think the solution is for everyone to leave, the question would be what we gain from that, what we gain after that. How long is that curve going to last for something to re-establish itself? ”, added Salas.
