"Let's hope, for the sake of the country, that a presidential vacancy does not prosper," he said in remarks to Canal N.
As he explained, the vacancy scenario has not yet been analyzed by the Executive Branch, but Congress' decision will be closely followed, and the best way to defend stability —with respect to the Constitution and regulations— will be discussed.
"We do not rule out any legal tool that allows maintaining the political stability of the country, within the legal framework and the Constitution," he stated.
The high-ranking official reported that all ministers expressed their full support for President Vizcarra on Thursday afternoon and reaffirmed their decision to continue working in this situation marked by COVID-19, after some recordings were presented at a Congress' plenary session earlier that day.
Likewise, Martos said all ministers agree that the investigations must continue their course, within the framework of due process.
