Peruvian President Dina Boluarte said on Friday, September 6, that her country “will never be on the side of dictatorships that bring hunger and underdevelopment to their population” and ratified her demand that the minutes of the presidential elections held in Venezuela be published.
“We will not be part of an electoral fraud; we will not support a dictatorial government. We are a democratic nation that respects the rule of law, institutions and the Constitution,” the president emphasized during an official activity.
He recalled that in recent weeks, his country has demanded that the Venezuelan authorities present the minutes of the elections, which according to the National Electoral Council (CNE) were won by Nicolás Maduro, while the opposition says that it was his standard-bearer Edmundo González Urrutia.
“He who owes nothing, fears nothing, let it be counted ballot box by ballot box, vote by vote. If the opposition has presented the minutes on the Internet, granting victory to its candidate, it is up to the government to do the same and present its minutes, in order to resolve this situation once and for all,” he said.

Boluarte said that the reshuffle he made this week in his cabinet of ministers, which included the replacement of political scientist Javier González-Olaechea by diplomat Elmer Schialer, does not imply a change in his country’s foreign policy.
Our foreign policy remains unchanged, and our position on the situation in our sister country of Venezuela remains firm and unchanged,” he said.
The ruler made these statements a day after the president of the Council of Ministers, Gustavo Adrianzén, He stated that Peru has not recognized González Urrutia as the elected president of Venezuela, despite the fact that on July 30 the then foreign minister stated that this was the Peruvian position.
“We have no official communication from the Peruvian State recognizing this condition for Mr. González Urrutia. We have asked for a recount to be done (…) because we also understand that it has to be within the framework of the electoral process where these (voting) records have to be reviewed,” said Adrianzén.
Regarding Peru’s position, the Prime Minister said that the Foreign Ministry has issued various official statements that “hope that the minutes will be delivered” and that “it is essential that these results be subject to review.”
He advocates “democracy”
Schialer later said that his country “will continue to support the Venezuelan people in their struggle for democracy and freedom.”
“With regard to Venezuela, I want to emphasize that there is no turning back. Peru will continue to maintain its firm and unwavering position of demanding respect for the will expressed by the Venezuelan people in the presidential elections of July 28,” he stressed.
He also recalled that his country has “resolutely rejected the arrest warrant issued against Mr. Edmundo González Urrutia” and said that “what is happening in Venezuela is of the utmost importance for Peru and the region, and is also of the greatest concern.”
González Urrutia, the standard-bearer of Venezuela’s largest opposition coalition, has been recognized as the winner of the July 28 presidential elections by the United States, Argentina, Uruguay, Ecuador, Panama and Costa Rica.
