on Tuesday called on State powers to work together for the well-being of the country in case the call for a Constituent Assembly is approved via referendum.
"The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branches must start to work together, unified, and implement this Constituent Assembly or, if it is not deemed as suitable, implement the reforms required by the Constituent Assembly," Torres said during his participation at Congress' Constitution Commission.
"This way, we must dialogue, without insults, without abuse, respecting the opinion of others. There must be discrepancies. Those of us who are lawyers here know that discrepancy is very useful. Contradictory ideas come from discrepancy, and the best solutions emerge from contradictory ideas," Torres expressed.
"We must work together, unitedly, seeking what you have said here with which I perfectly agree: seek advancement, the progress of our country, and put an end to poverty because those social and economic differences that exist are not typical of the civilized world," he added.
Dynamic policy
"A preliminary debate opens here. What the population, meaning the Peruvian people, wants: that academicians and politicians debate this issue," he indicated.
The minister assured that the results of recent surveys on the Constituent Assembly are not consistent with what was observed by the Cabinet during visits to provinces.
"I do not perceive that at the Decentralized Councils of Ministers; reality reflects a totally different position (…) A great debate is opened in the country. Let's not close our eyes to reality, to social demands, to the academic debate raised with respect and coherence," he pointed out.
