LIMA, Nov 18 (NNN-ANDINA) — President Pedro Castillo called on Parliament to approve the motion of confidence recently presented by Prime Minister Anibal Torres in order to restore citizen democracy.
Via his official Twitter account, the Head of State affirmed that people’s participation in boosting reforms through referendum cannot be restricted or violated.
“Let’s work together for Peru!” he emphasized.
Earlier on Thursday, the Prime Minister submitted a confidence motion during a Congress plenary session for the approval of a bill —also presented Thursday— which repeals Law No. 31399 that strengthens the process for approval of constitutional reform laws —linked to citizen participation and control rights.
In another tweet, Castillo said that his administration continues to work for the people despite the noise and crisis that a sector intends to generate in Peru.
“Despite the noise and the crisis that a sector attempts to generate in the country, we continue to work for the people,” he said after visiting Peru’s northern Lambayeque region.
These statements were made on his official Twitter account following the inauguration of Posope Alto I-3 Health Center. The project was developed within the framework of the Government-to-Government Agreement with the United Kingdom.
“I have just inaugurated a school and a health center which will benefit Lambayeque region. Let’s keep working for a Peru for everyone!” he expressed.
During his visit, the president said he is confident that Congress will side with the people to meet citizens’ major needs and thus guarantee their development.
On the other hand, the Head of State affirmed that whatever the cost, this will be the quinquennium of education in Peru, saying that no child can be left behind when it comes to education.
Under this premise, the top official mentioned the importance of continuing to build more and better educational infrastructure.
He also called for reviewing the school curriculum —joined by teachers.
In addition, Castillo insisted on the need for a legislative proposal from the Executive Branch to prosper so that young people who finish high school can have open admission to universities.
“We need to industrialize the country. Education cannot be begged for; it must be a right; we need more engineers, lawyers, useful people,” he underlined.
Similarly, the President told local authorities that the Government Palace doors are open to address their needs. — NNN-ANDINA
