Lima. El presidente de Perú, el izquierdista Pedro Castillo, anunció este viernes que decidió “recomponer” su gabinete ministerial, lo que implica la salida del repudiado nuevo primer ministro, Héctor Valer Pinto, al que uramentó hace apenas tres días.

“He tomado la decisión de recomponer el gabinete ministerial”, declaró Castillo en un breve mensaje al país por televisión, sin mencionar a Valer, quien estaba cuestionado por la oposición -e incluso por algunos ministros- tras la revelación de que fue denunciado por supuesta violencia doméstica en 2016. El próximo gabinete que designe el mandatario será el cuarto en sus seis meses de gobierno.
