The National Confederation of Private Business Associations (Confiep) urged Peru's political class to work together to defend the country's sustainability, following a frustrated impeachment attempt against President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski.
"Democracy has won. It's time to start a new chapter in our country and to rebuild the lost confidence while fighting corruption, which is so harmful to all Peruvians," Confiep stated.
To that effect, the organization called for calm and tolerance. "We cannot divide [the country] or incite differences."
"We need to
work together to defend institutions, governance
and sustainability in our country," it emphasized.
Private investment
Confiep President Roque Benavides said 80% of investment is
private, hence the importance of creating adequate conditions to promote it.
"Investment has to be promoted and we need to provide the best conditions for doing so; that is, we need to bring legal, political and economic stability, which is key," the group of private associations told RPP radio and TV news station.
