The broadcast of a video that recorded the minutes preceding the coup in Pedro Castillo It provoked the reaction of various personalities, including Congressman Carlos Anderson. The non-grouper pointed out that this proves that the former president’s allies have been adept in their attempt to promote a narrative that blames the crisis generated on the opposition represented in the Congress of the Republic.
“I think it’s become clear to all Peruvians that Mr. Castillo is very smart, he’s smarter than you think, because he has the ability to sell us a shameful face, but from a other side, we saw it with betrayal and advantage driving a Rebellion“, he said about the recordings where we see the former president doing the necessary coordination to start his message to the Nation.
For the graphic recordings to reach the whole country, Anderson believes the recording should be translated into Quechua and Aymara “so that those who claim us because we kidnapped the president will realize that they have been vilely deceived. ” . This from the citizen claims that pointed out to Congress for having provoked the coup against Pedro Castillo.
Regarding the questioning of the expenses made by Congress, Anderson recalled that the said state power has a budget of 879 million soles, therefore they must be “well used, with transparency and without excess. We have a population of 4,000 workers and I think a lot needs to be done to make that transparent, because those numbers don’t make sense”.
The backstage of Pedro Castillo’s coup was a matter of speculation, even insinuating that the former president was drugged shortly before traveling to the country. However, a recording reveals his conscious involvement in the event. The graphic recordings show a head of state making sure everything is in order before going on the air, as well as the presence of various personalities around him.
The recording shows that the prime minister at the time, Betsy Chávez, was at his side, complying with the orders of the head of state. At a certain point, the former president made hand gestures to finalize the details and summoned the then president of the Council of Ministers. He emphasizes that they must be informed that what is about to happen is a Message to the Nation.
Pedro Castillo came to inquire about the whereabouts of Alejandro Salas, former Minister of Labor, who was a staunch defender of the executive. His team tells him that the Minister was inside the Government Palace facilities and he doubts whether to let him into the room where he was. Finally, it indicates what will happen at the end of the broadcast message. An aide-de-camp takes the opportunity to welcome the presidential band.
A few days after serving 100 days in prison, the former president participated in a court hearing which he took advantage of to deny being part of a criminal organization, as indicated by the prosecution. “Today, a castle of crimes has been built with hypotheses, you would have, you would have and with bought collaborators. They are going to seek preventive detention as they complete 100 days of unjust kidnapping,” he said.
His legal defense questioned what had been indicated by the prosecution regarding his house arrest and the risk of an attempted escape. The authorities indicated that the presence of his minor children and his wife in Mexico would be an indication for the ex-president to want to go to this country. It is expected that on Thursday 9, the decision of the judiciary on the request for preventive detention against him will be known.
