TRANSLATION: It is considered an injustice to maintain, as some selfish groups do, a rupture of the constitutional order and of democracy in Peru. Like any democracy, the institutions carry out their tasks, including investigations to punish those who have committed abuses, offenses or crimes, regardless of the positions they hold. This is irrefutable proof that a democratic system continues to prevail in our country.
