The President of the Republic Pedro Castillo on Monday affirmed that he will never go backwards in meeting the country's demands.

The Head of State noted that Peruvians are made of work and honesty. "We will continue to walk with you to see the (country's) development," he said.

The remarks were made in Chosica, where he arrived to inspect the facilities of an educational institution.

According to the President, attention will focus on issues such as nutrition and the lack of basic services (water and wastewater), as well as hospitals.

"How is it possible that after 200 years of republican life people keep (…) asking for water, people cannot live like this, water has to be a constitutional right," he remarked.

The country's top official reiterated that while progress is being made, other sectors are "thinking about other things."

"Peru's demands need be met; this is the country that we have received, and we will help it recover," he said in a brief meeting with locals.
