Legislators from various benches expressed their views after the appointment of Martos to the PCM to replace Pedro Cateriano.
Congressmen from various parties expressed their points of view after the appointment of Walter Martos as the new president of the Council of Ministers to replace Pedro Cateriano, who lasted just 20 days in office after Parliament denied him the vote of confidence.

 

Zenaida Solís (Purple Party) said on Channel N that she hopes Martos Ruiz can build bridges in Congress in the midst of the coronavirus economic and health crisis (COVID-19), in order to convince the plenary to grant him the vote of confidence .

"In our country where we have an economic, health, etc. crisis, we cannot continue adding a political crisis, so we hope that Mr. Martos has all the criteria to build bridges, that is what it is, to talk and listen to everyone and make a presentation in Congress that convinces parliamentarians that this last year of the government of President Vizcarra has to be positive, "he said.

She also said that she does not find "blame or fraudulent responsibilities" to the Minister of Education, Martín Benavides, beyond the frustrated purchase of tablets, and made it clear that there are benches that "have the aim" for the issue of Sunedu and Because they are linked to universities that have not obtained institutional licensing.

 

Diethell Columbus, spokesman for Fuerza Po[CENSORED]r, said that his caucus will listen to Walter Martos's presentation before the plenary session to bring down the government of President Martín Vizcarra and the vote of confidence will depend on it.

"In Fuerza Po[CENSORED]r we gave 12 votes in favor of the Cateriano cabinet and in the cabinet was Mr. Benavides. We would find no reason why, with Mr. Martos now the new premier, we change the position only for Mr. Benavides. We also want to hear proposals from Mr. Martos, "he stressed.

 

For his part, César Combina (Alliance for Progress) hopes that the new cabinet can present "real solutions" to Peru, mainly for the regions, and said that his caucus has not yet met to evaluate the appointment of Martos as prime minister. .

"They raised many doubts about the employment and oxygen situation in central and southern Peru. We hope that Mr. Martos can lead a cabinet to execute deeds and not words, "he told Canal N.

 

"It is the same cabinet"

In turn, the spokesperson for the bench of Somos Peru, Rennán Espinoza, assured that in practice the Ministerial Cabinet that was sworn in this Thursday "remains the same", despite the fact that four changes were made in its composition.

"In practice the cabinet remains the same. There have been four changes, but substantially for the vast majority of portfolios it is not that insidious. During this period of the pandemic, Mr. Martos has been quite involved, today he assumes the responsibility of directing the entire cabinet, ”he said.

 

"For us it is the same cabinet that was on Monday, with the difference of the president of the Council of Ministers. It does not seem negative or positive, we simply recognize that the same cabinet, "he added.

Health strategy

For her part, the spokesperson for the Frepap caucus, María Teresa Céspedes, hopes that the new Ministerial Cabinet will present short-term actions and a clear health strategy with a multisectoral approach.

"The most important thing for the country, at this time, is the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic reactivation, including those who have the least. We hope that the Minister of Economy will make concrete proposals to more than 70% of the informal po[CENSORED]tion, which has lost everything. We must promote dialogue, unity and consensus, ”he said on Twitter. Finally, the spokesperson for the Union for Peru (UPP) caucus, José Vega, stressed at ATV that President Martín Vizcarra should have changed the ministers of Economy and Finance; María Antonieta Alva; and of Education, Martín Benavides; and not only that of Labor, Martín Ruggiero.

 

Likewise, he hopes that the new president of the Council of Ministers, Walter Martos, can address five points that he considers key: health to face COVID-19, economic reactivation, citizen insecurity, corruption and the school year.

"I want to trust that General Walter Martos has the spirit to build bridges to achieve an understanding and thus face this serious problem of the pandemic that is causing so many deaths," he said.
