Maximo San Roman has tendered his resignation as Ad-Honorem Presidential Adviser to President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, a position he had held since August 2016.
San Roman justified his decision in a letter to the President, saying many of his recommendations to overcome barriers to the country's development were not taken into consideration by the alleged "resistance" of people surrounding Mr. Kuczynski.
"This situation induced me to tender my resignation […] I hope your important work as ruler yields the results all Peruvians expect," San Roman wrote.
According to Prime Minister Mercedes Araoz, the President had already decided to release San Roman from his duties when he submitted his resignation.
For his part, journalist and writer
Hugo Coya quitted as President of State-run National Radio and Television Institute of Peru (IRTP) as well.
His resignation was conveyed in a letter to outgoing Culture Minister Salvador del Solar, in which he thanked him for the enriching opportunity to chair the IRTP.
In a message he posted on social media today, Del Solar thanked Peru's Commander-in-Chief for the opportunity he gave him to serve the country.
On the other hand, legislators Vicente Zeballos and Gino Costa submitted their respective resignations to the Peruvians for Change (PPK) ruling party.
In doing so, they followed in the footsteps of PPK lawmaker Alberto de Belaunde, who quitted yesterday due to his disagreement over the pardon granted to Fujimori.
