on Wednesday affirmed that Peru respects international commitments in the field of human rights, which are fundamental pillars of any democratic system.
"In Peru, we are respectful of fundamental liberties, including peaceful protests that are enshrined in our Constitution. Similarly, the Peruvian State respects its international commitments in the field of human rights, which are —for us— fundamental pillars of any democratic system," she indicated.
Likewise, Mrs. Boluarte specified that the Government is legitimate, constitutional, and democratic.
In this sense, she said transparent work has always been proposed by her administration, "putting the Peruvian population's needs first, to attend to and resolve demands in the context of the frontal fight against corruption."
Rejection
Similarly, Mrs. Boluarte highlighted the rejection towards those who violently protested by seizing airports, setting justice administration system buildings and police stations on fire, hindered the passage of ambulances, which caused the death of compatriots and prevented the transit of food.
"The IACHR recognized that the Peruvian State has a legal framework which protects the right to protest and regulates the exceptional use of force under international standards. Similarly, it recognizes the openness to dialogue and the actions by the Executive Branch in southern (Peruvian) regions," she expressed.
In this sense, Mrs. Boluarte said that, like any report, there are questionings
"which we do not share, but that we respect," even more so coming from an I
nter-American Human Rights System agency.
"In fact, we reject the alleged existence of extrajudicial executions and the classification of a massacre, even when it is conditionally mentioned in the events that occurred during the protests," she said, later adding that there are no acts of discrimination, due to origin or any other condition, by the current administration.
