APP backs Dina Boluarte after new tax probe for alleged desertion

Luis Valdezgeneral secretary of the party Alliance for progress (THE PROGRAM), protected In Bolwart on the basis of the decision of the prosecutor’s office to initiate a preliminary investigation into the crime of desertion and inactivity. This is because he did not inform the Council of Ministers and Congress about the operation, which he was supposed to carry out in 2023.

“We believe that this should be investigated, but without creating anxiety or institutional imbalance in the country,” he said in the program. Things as they are with Television lesson plan.

Valdes noted that in recent years the country has gone through an “endless carousel of chaos and despair in some sectors” and believes that political actors and institutions should focus on what is really important for the country.

“A person who makes his own brooms, a person who makes furniture, a taxi driver, must work together and coordinately so that authorities and institutions work,” he noted.

Secretary General of THE PROGRAM He said that while the prosecutor’s office is carrying out its duties to investigate these “controversial events”, articles 377 and 380 of the Criminal Code, which govern the renunciation of office, do not apply to the conduct attributed to the president.

“So that the facts are investigated, but so that today, at this moment, responsibility is not established, which is not yet there. This will be established in the course of the usual investigation,” he stressed.

“A market to avoid”

According to Luis Valdes, the Constitution or the law “does not directly establish the need for the president of the republic to inform the parliament or any other institution” about this type of surgical intervention.

“What we’ve been seeing lately is constant upheaval, which we must avoid at all costs,” he added.

Last Tuesday, the former head of the Council of Ministers, Alberto Atarola, told the Congressional Oversight and Comptroller Commission that President Bolhuarte underwent nose surgery between the end of June and the beginning of July 2023.

“As you know, the president of the republic underwent an operation these days. However, she never neglected the tasks that were part of her duties as president, and I know this because at that time I was the chairman of the Council of Ministers,” he said.

Valdes concluded that he would not take into account Atarola’s statements because he believed that there was a confrontation between him and the executive branch.
