MADRID, 8 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
85 percent of Peruvians surveyed in the latest survey by the Institute of Peruvian Studies (IEP), published this Sunday, disapprove of the management of Congress, while 67 percent do not endorse that of the country’s president, Pedro Castillo.
The survey, which was conducted between August 1 and 4 by 1,208 people, nevertheless reflects a small increase in acceptance from June to August from 19 to 24 percent. In addition, the president’s disapproval in June was 71 percent, so it has dropped four points, the RPP station reported.
The approval of Pedro Castillo reaches 19 percent among the country’s high and medium incomes. In terms of geographical division, the Peruvian president receives more support in the south (33 percent) and in the east (28 percent), while his disapproval is greater in the north and center of the country, where it reaches 67 and 73 percent. cent, respectively.
Regarding the role of the Congress of Peru, 75 percent of those surveyed disapprove of its performance at the moment in which the first year of the legislature is completed. Only 21 have responded that they approve of Parliament’s work.
The work of the president of Congress, María del Carmen Alva, is disapproved by 61 percent of those interviewed, according to ‘La República’.
Among the reasons for disapproving of Parliament’s work, 35 percent believe that “they are not interested in people, they only think about them.” Another 28 percent believe that there is a lack of trained people, while 21 percent believe that they do not allow the Executive to govern.
In recent days there has been a confrontation between part of the Peruvian Congress and the Peruvian Congress, because the latter has prevented the president from attending the inauguration of Gustavo Petro in Colombia, thus damaging Peru’s image abroad .
The reason for not letting Castillo leave the country –every time the Peruvian president leaves the country, Congress must approve it– is that the president has five investigations open by the Peruvian Prosecutor’s Office in which he is accused of crimes of corruption, personal concealment or obstruction of justice.
