Pres Vizcarra receiving the golden keys from Mayor Manuela Carmena when visiting the City Council of Madrid
MADRID, Feb 28 (NNN-ANDINA) — Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra defended the full respect for constitutional order emerging from the popular will and affirmed that any government —which oppresses its people and perpetuates itself in power— does not deserve the appreciation of the citizens who defend democracy.
Within this framework, the Head of State —who currently pays a State visit to Spain— hailed the distinguished Peruvians and Spaniards who fought for freedom, democracy, and citizens’ rights.
He noted the shared stance between both countries, concerning the support given to Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido and the commitment to working together in order to promote the return of democracy to the Bolivarian nation.
Likewise, the Inca country’s top official indicated that free, fair, and reliable presidential elections —under international supervision— must be encouraged.
Speaking during his speech at the Spanish Congress of Deputies, he expressed concern due to the serious humanitarian crisis affecting Venezuela, which harms its citizens.
Furthermore, the top official pointed out it is necessary to follow the path of democracy and affirmed Peru —thanks to its stable legal framework— achieved firm progress in terms of national development and economic growth.
Moreover, the statesman recalled the Inca nation will celebrate its Independence Bicentennial in 2021 —and as part of the parliamentary understanding between Peru and Spain— joint actions are being planned.
Vizcarra also mentioned the fight against corruption —his administration’s priority— is a commitment shared with the European country.
Earlier, the Head of State visited the City Council of Madrid, where he was handed the golden keys to the metropolis by Mayor Manuela Carmena.
Within this framework, he expressed gratitude for the recognition and indicated he received it on behalf of the 100,000 Peruvians residing in the Spanish capital.
Vizcarra highlighted the bonds between both nations, adding they share common history, traditions, culture, and gastronomy. — NNN-ANDINA
