The Peruvian Government has fully complied with the principle of neutrality during the ongoing electoral process, said
President Francisco Sagasti, who requested citizens to vote in the presidential runoff election scheduled for June 6.
In this sense, a directive was issued to all Executive Branch entities to ensure that public officials do not take sides with any candidate.
"We have provided the resources and all the necessary support to the electoral bodies so that they bring the electoral process to a successful conclusion, and without any setbacks," he said.
"The international observation missions have testified to the good organization, fairness, and transparency of our elections, even amid the difficult circumstances that the pandemic has caused," he added.
Transparency
Moreover, the President specified that another commitment assumed was the strengthening of democratic institutions and the
fight against corruption.
The top official stressed that his administration "is showing that it is possible to be transparent and honest in the exercise of political power."
"When necessary, we investigated and sanctioned improper actions, opening the way for the corresponding authorities to act in accordance with their mandates," he indicated.
Remarks were made on Friday while providing a report on the first six months as head of the Transition and Emergency Government.
