Jorge Montoya warns President Pedro Castillo: “If he resigns, he will go to jail”

The spokesman for Popular Renewal, Jorge Montoya, used his Twitter account to give a message to the president of the republic, Pedro Castillo. According to the congressman, if the president resigns his position, he will end up behind bars.

Although Montoya Manrique did not explain the crimes for which Castillo Terrones would be imprisoned when he ceased to be head of state, in his tweet warning him about his future he also referred to the crisis in the province of Mariscal Nieto, in Moquegua, due to the blockade of the Cuajone mining area by the community members.

“The president knows it! If he resigns from office, he will go to jail. There are no solutions in Cuajone, the government looks at it sitting from its desk, it means that it wants the subject to pop up and then enter into a sudden, complete and static action,” he commented on social networks.

Hours earlier, the parliamentarian of the celestial bench told Canal N that a way must be found for the president, and company, to leave when they consider that they are not giving up for more. To this end, he called on the opposition political forces to come together to confront the Executive.

“They don't do anything, about the unemployment of carriers they don't do anything to prevent it, they are not interested, the same thing happens with the mining sector, Cuajone has already reached the limit, and don't be surprised that this government wants to nationalize mining. This government doesn't give more and you have to see how it goes,” he said.

SMOKE SCREEN

Regarding the comments of the President of the Council of Minister, Aníbal Torres, in which he calls Cardinal Pedro Barreto “miserable”, Montoya Manrique considered it a “smokescreen” to change the focus of public attention.

“They use the premier as a distracting element, it is a permanent smokescreen, what he said [to Cardinal Barreto] has no name, we have worked on the prime minister's interpellation, we have asked him to give us copies of the minutes of the Council of Ministers weeks ago and they do not comply with delivering them,” he added.

It should be noted that the prime minister tried to justify his words to the cardinal. At a press conference, Torres explained that “it's a popular saying” to say “miserable” to a person whose name you can't remember.

“It was an interview they did to me about it. I didn't remember the name of the cardinal, so I said that about 'how miserable can this person be that I don't even remember his name' or something like that. It is a popular saying that it can be used anywhere, even in Lima,” he said.

“That was it. I wasn't looking to offend. I have also spoken with the Cardinal in previous days, he never spoke a word about the positive actions being taken by the executive branch, nor in favor of the most neglected classes. This situation worries me,” his defense continued.

“HE'S JUST COUP PISTAS”

Also via Twitter, the secretary general of Peru Libre, Vladimir Cerrón, considered that the spokesman for Popular Renewal “has no other work initiative in Congress” and that he is “just a coup”, referring to the parliamentarian's tweet in which he asks his colleagues in Congress to “see how (the Government) go away.”

“It would be good if you draft a bill, prosecute or represent your constituents, but do something, that obsession with the coup is tiring and does not lead to anything productive,” he wrote from his social networks.
