The Peruvian Minister of the Interior, Luis Barrançuela, resigned yesterday Tuesday, well before a month has passed since he took office, after the uproar he caused when organized a party at his home in the midst of the young man’s pandemic coronavirus. His resignation was accepted by the left-wing president Pedro Castillo.
The 58-year-old minister was harsh criticisms after the Latina television network broadcast that it organized a celebration at its home in Lima, on the occasion of the day of singing in the Creole language and its Halloween, something that had been explicitly banned by decree a few days earlier.
The interior minister, as reported by the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency, defended himself on Monday, saying that did not organize a party, but a business meeting at his home, an explanation which the prime minister, Myrta Vasquez, rejected as “unacceptable”.
The Peruvian Congress, controlled by the right-wing opposition, will vote tomorrow, Thursday, to give – or not – a vote of confidence in Mrs Vasquez’s government. According to the Peruvian press, the vote of confidence would not have been given if the interior minister had not resigned.
