Prime Minister Violeta Bermudez affirmed that the principle of State neutrality will be the leading pillar of the Transitional Government's policy regarding 2021 general elections.
"The principle of State neutrality is going to be the rule that will govern our behavior and our activities," she told TV Peru.
Moreover, the Cabinet chief stated that the
fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact —not only on health but also on the economy— is among the Executive Branch's priorities.
Given the decline in the number of COVID-19 deaths and infections, Bermudez said that it is good to be optimistic, but not triumphalist.
In this sense, she announced that the entire health strategy will be further strengthened while maintaining a culture of care and biosafety protocols.
Similarly, the
recently-sworn-in Prime Minister noted that the Council of Ministers is committed to working with regional and local governments, as well as with citizens.
