The President of the Republic Francisco Sagasti on Saturday morning confirmed that
Pilar Mazzetti submitted her resignation to the Ministry of Health the previous day.
In an interview with RPP, the Head of State highlighted the work of the outgoing official.
Nonetheless, the treatment she had received from Congress and some media outlets was unfair, he said.
The top official indicated that Congress summoning the ex-minister —due to the administration of a test vaccine to former President Martin Vizcarra (when the latter was in office) and the way this case had been handled by Parliament— was the last straw and prompted her resignation.
"It has been a continuous mistreatment," he added.
