Journalist César Hildebrandt revealed this Monday that, moments before interview President Pedro Castillo At the Government Palace, the president expressed his interest in having an “important presence” on the state channel, TV Peru.
“I am going to tell something that I thought I would not tell, but I think it is time to do so. I went to visit President Castillo for an interview. At one point, we were left alone. President Castillo told me regarding his interest in me having a significant presence on channel 7 to ‘confront corruption’”. Hildebrandt said on his weekly podcast.
The press man indicated that “with extreme politeness” he told the head of state that “he was going to think regarding it.”

“But the truth is that I felt very bad that the president dared to tell me that before the interview. As if with that he ingratiated himself with me. As if with that he might soften my questions or buy my benevolence or my complicity. I knew that President Pedro Castillo might be capable of many things following that,” he added.
Immediately, Hildebrandt remembered that following the encounter with Castillo Terrones, a Palacio’s assistant approached him to ask him if his weekly had state to which the journalist replied that “he neither has it nor wants it.”
“Now that I tell these two things, and one of these things, you will realize why I have the opinion that I have now regarding Pedro Castillo. Conflicts of interest? Yes, then, inelegance? Yes, vulgarity? Yes, well,” he asserted.

At another point in your program, César Hildebrandt commented on the latest Ipsos Peru survey, which shows that the 66% of citizens disapprove of Pedro Castillo’s management.
“2/3 of Peru is not with you, it disapproves of you following your management. He does not disapprove of it a priori in a prejudiced way. Not because you are a rural teacher, chotano, foul-mouthed. No, because of your management,” he said.
