The
Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Thursday guaranteed clean, honest, and transparent general elections in April 2024, adding that Peruvians will receive an orderly country in said year.
The Head of State noted that elections could not be organized in three or four months, after a resignation from the Presidency.
The dignitary explained that the aim of holding them in 2024 is to work with all political and social actors, as well as with unions, in order to change the history of Peru.
"We will work on political reforms for you to receive an orderly country in the April 2024 elections, providing legal guarantees that they will be democratic, suitable, and transparent, without any hint of fraud or irregularity," the President stated.
"We will guarantee clean, honest, and transparent general elections," she underlined.
In addition, Mrs. Boluarte underscored that her resignation from the position of President of the Republic will solve absolutely nothing.
Trip to Cusco
On the other hand, she commented that people in various regions of the country are receiving misleading information about her assumption of the Presidency.
For this reason, the dignitary announced that she will visit Cusco region on Friday so as to meet with local, regional, and southern Peruvian press, in a bid to discuss this issue and tell them that "Dina (Boluarte) did not move a single eyelash to make Pedro Castillo go through what he went through."
"He (Pedro Castillo) was wrongly advised, and I want to know why this self-coup took place because, during the Council of Ministers, I recommended that the confidence motion not be presented, which was the starting point for everything that followed," she added.
