Lima (EFE).- The Government of Peru regretted this Saturday that Congress has not agreed to advance the general elections to October of this year and urged the benches “to place the interests” of the country above, in the midst of the social crisis and politics that has left 64 dead since December in the Andean nation.
“We regret that the Congress of the Republic has not been able to agree to define the date of the general elections where Peruvians can freely and democratically elect the new authorities,” said the Peruvian Presidency in a message posted on Twitter.
The Peruvian Parliament rejected this Friday to advance the general elections to October, after debating a project in this regard for more than 8 hours, after which the president of Congress, José Williams, reported that a request for reconsideration had been raised that will be discussed on Monday to determine whether to vote on the proposal again.
