Con 58 votes in favour, 46 against and six abstentionsthe plenary session of Congress approved the interpellation motion against the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Cesar Landa. As is known, parliamentarian Jorge Montoya presented the measure due to the declarations of the president peter castle at the United Nations General Assembly in the US
The head of Parliament, José Williams, suggested that the minister go to the Legislative Palace next Wednesday, October 19 at 6:00 pm; However, this would not be possible because Landa has a scheduled trip to Mexico and various European countries, so he would only be back in Peru on the 21st of this month. In this sense, the date to summon him to the hemicycle will be defined in the next few hours.
The proposal of the Renovación Popular legislator proposes that the foreign minister answer a total of 31 questions that include questions about the president’s statements, the Malvinas Islands issue, Peru’s position in the Sea Convention, the reestablishment of diplomatic relations with the Saharawi Arab Democratic Republic and bilateral relations with Morocco.
During the exposition of the motion, Montoya maintained that a lack of preparation has been evidenced in the people who present the country’s policies abroad on relevant issues, such as the situation of the Malvinas Islands or relations with the Saharawi Arab Republic.
Interpellation to César Landa raised by Renovación Popular
The spokesman for Renovación Popular —and promoter of the interpellation motion—, Jorge Montoya, maintained that the speech of peter castle in the General Assembly of the United Nations in the USA was “not very technical and highly ideologized”. In this sense, he considered that “seriously damaged foreign policy and the good image of Peru”.
