The Peruvian Defense Minister presents his resignation

MADRID, 4 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The Peruvian Defense Minister, Daniel Barragán, presented his resignation to the president this Saturday through a letter in which he referred to "personal reasons" and thanked Pedro Castillo for the opportunity.

"I express my deep gratitude to the head of the Joint Command of the Armed Forces, to the general commanders of the Air Force, Navy, Army of Peru; and to the military and civilian personnel of the Defense sector, for their support and teamwork to achieve the strategic objectives of the sector", can be read in the letter released through Twitter.

Barragán had assumed the position on September 23 to replace Richard Tineo who was assuming the equivalent position in the Ministry of Transport and Communications.

The resignation has led different congressmen to talk about Pedro Castillo preparing a coup that Barragán has not been willing to support, something that Castillo has flatly denied and has stated that his Executive has no intention of closing Parliament in order to avoid a vacancy motion.

The Presidency of the Council of Ministers has also been quick to deny these rumours. "The Government of the people is respectful of democratic principles, which is why we call on all good Peruvians not to fall into speculation about an alleged breach of the constitutional order. The Executive reiterates its absolute respect for all the powers of the State" , has declared through Twitter.
