The President of the Republic Pedro Castillo on Thursday called on Parliament to approve the motion of confidence recently presented by Prime Minister Anibal Torres in order to restore citizen democracy.

Via his official Twitter account, the Head of State affirmed that people's participation in boosting reforms through referendum cannot be restricted or violated.

"Let's work together for Peru!" he emphasized.


Earlier on Thursday, the Prime Minister submitted a confidence motion during a Congress plenary session for the approval of a bill —also presented today— which repeals Law No. 31399 that strengthens the process for approval of constitutional reform laws —linked to citizen participation and control rights.
