Peruvian Prime Minister Walter Martos and State ministers take part in a Congress plenary session to present the Government's general policy and request a vote of confidence.
Earlier, President of the Republic Martin Vizcarra walked the Cabinet members out of the Government Palace. Afterwards, they continued towards the Parliament headquarters on foot.
In accordance with Article 130 of the Constitution,
the President of the Council of Ministers must attend Congress —joined by his Cabinet— to present the Government's general policy and the principal measures pursued by the Executive Branch.
At the event, it was agreed that the recently sworn-in Cabinet would appear before Congress on August 11 to request the confidence vote of legislators.
Within this framework, the top official affirmed that it is time for unity and consensus, to put aside division and differences, and instead continue working for the well-being of all citizens.
