On March 28, President Pedro Castillo will appear before the Congress of the Republic to respond to the accusations against him in the vacancy motion submitted by a large number of parliamentarians, including those for Renewal Popular, Advances Pais and Popular Force.

After his presentation, Castillo Terrones must wait and negotiate with his opponents in Congress to save himself from the threat of an untimely termination of his government.

But the President of the Republic would have an ace up his sleeve, since in his last presentation to the plenary it was leaked that he would announce the end of his government and the advance of elections, however this did not happen and the benches this time have come together to curb this possibility.

A few days later, former President Francisco Sagasti launched the proposal to collect signatures to submit a bill to Congress to advance general elections, but it has received a notorious rejection by the extreme right and the closerists of Peru Libre.

He also criticized the work of Pedro Castillo, who so far in his term of office has presented four ministerial cabinets with questioned members.

“In the case of the Executive there is an inability to appoint probate officials, it seems that having a record is a kind of requirement in some cases. We have never had more than 40 ministers in less than nine months of government,” he said in dialogue with Fourth Power.

Sagasti reiterated that nowhere in the Constitution does the motion of presidential vacancy due to permanent moral incapacity be endorsed, so that the initiative presented by Parliament would be misconceived; however, he argued that the head of state lacks discernment between the private and public interest.

THEY REJECT THE ADVANCE OF ELECTIONS

The extreme wing of Peru Libre argues that Sagasti's proposal “does not respect the popular vote.”

“Whether you like it or not, it is five years that President Castillo must govern Peru within his mistakes, self-criticism and successes,” said party spokeswoman Silvana Robles.

For its part, Fujimorism closed ranks with the cerronists and they strongly criticized Sagasti and his proposal.

The president of the Congress, María del Carmen Alva, mentioned that this approach is very similar to the one evaluated by the Executive. “I think they are in combination or 'clicked' between what they think.”

He added that such proposals and possible permanent changes do not help the country's stability.

In turn, Alejandro Muñante, from Renovación Popular, considered that the institutional crisis was aggravated by 'caviars', which are the ones who are asking everyone to leave.”
