Prime Minister Guido Bellido has assured that the Executive Branch will promote a pro-dialogue and broad-based Government that offers the country the best opportunities.

"We are not against anyone; we are here to support everyone, the 33 million Peruvians, so that everyone has better conditions and opportunities; in that process, we are going to guarantee a Government for everyone, a Government that emerged from minorities and which is for everyone," he told BIZ Republic.

The high-ranking official argued that citizens gave this administration the responsibility of meeting their needs. 

Thus, cohesion and reconciliation is required because "for more than 200 years there has been an official and an unofficial Peru, a Peru that has everything and another one that has nothing, a forgotten and discriminated Peru, while another had all the authority."

Likewise, the Cabinet chief indicated that —although this Government comes from the minorities— it is open to dialogue and has capacities to face the country's needs.

"We are going to lead a very dialoguing Government, a broad-based Government," he stressed.

"The work will benefit the country; we do not look back to see if there are discordant voices; we take those voices as a mechanism to reflect on whether the things we do are correct and in accordance with the people; there is no reason to fear, we must go on and on," he added.

Furthermore, Bellido said that private initiative is welcome, as long as it is not a channel for corruption to the detriment of the public treasury or the progress that the country should make, adding that they will support the entire business sector, including micro and small entrepreneurs.

Moreover, the Ministerial Cabinet head assured that the Government respects the rule of law and institutionality, saying that if this administration proposes a new Constitution, it is to have a Magna Carta in accordance with current times —one that guarantees the development of the economy.

"Nobody will oppose that, the 130 members of Congress and Peruvians will agree; I have said that there will be no conflict or clashes; I have opened a round of dialogue with Congress members, which is going well," he remarked.

Bellido also affirmed that the Government rejects any act of terrorism, no matter where it comes from.
