On the same platform, Barranzuela reported that he had made "the democratic decision to resign irrevocably" out of respect for governability and the trust granted by the President of the Republic.

In turn, Prime Minister Mirtha Vasquez deemed the Head of State's decision as important and stressed that stability, consensus, and social peace in Peru are the administration's commitment to follow.
