Pedro Castillo: reactions in Congress after President's interview with CNN ·Global Voices

The Minister of Culture, Gisela Ortiz, expressed her support for President Pedro Castillo regarding the statement made by the head of State during an interview with CNN in which he said that Peru will continue to be his training school as President.

"Peru is the school of all. All of us who live here as Peruvians learn to be citizens in this country, which is our school (…) it is not degrading at all, I am proud of all this learning that we have had as Peruvians," he said.

"anyone can't come to generate this kind of trial-error, which we do have to assume the responsibility that we all have, from the official, President of the Republic, ministers and so on, in what we have to govern," he added.

On this issue, Congressman Guido Bellido, former President of the Council of Ministers, considered that in the recent interviews given by Pedro Castillo "it is up to each journalist how he develops his approaches, his questions." Bellido questioned whether "elaborate questions" were used during these meetings and with several ideas at the same time.

"it is a very serious mistake, even the journalist knows what he is doing, but the way he conducted the interview yesterday (…) I have seen that he has given him a list of certain facts and it will be a little complicated for anyone to answer. I have not seen the full interview, but in one I have seen that the journalist even talks about me, without being reliably aware of the situation in which certain accusations are being made," he said.

"Let go of bones the Lord sends himself and has not even seen the fiscal folder of how he is developing and dealing with everything and to me really that form of interview is malice because if he wants to ask, he asks a question, but I Don't ask you a list of 50 questions and in the end you leave the interviewee in a complicated situation. Respect is always important and the idea of carrying the information in the right way is important," he added.

"I've never been trained for a politician."

The President of the Republic, Pedro Castillo, said that in his government he is going through a "learning process" and pointed out that if he had known that some former ministers were allegedly related to terrorism, he would not have sworn them in.

"I never went through a honeymoon as it has been in other governments, perhaps this way of learning in the same process (...) I never trained for a politician, I repeat I was not trained for President; I have come for the command of the people not to do the same," he said in an interview with CNN.

When asked whether Peru is a school to learn to be President, Pedro Castillo stated that the country "will remain his school" as a space to "do things right, correct what is wrong and do things for the good of all Peruvians."

"they told me Terruco, they told me that I had links with the Movadef, with the Conare, they told me everything. I wasn't trained to be President. Nobody put me in an induction space, I didn't go abroad, I didn't go to the United States to train, I didn't lend myself to that, I'm around the country and the people, and I'm not going to rob the country," he said.
