00:00And we go to Peru, where Congress elected Congressman JosĂŠ MarĂa BalcĂĄzar as the new interim president
00:06following the destitution of far right-wing politician JosĂŠ GĂŠry.
00:10The appointment in the Peruvian parliament focused on the election of the head of the board of directors
00:15who will assume immediately the interim presidency of the country.
00:21It should be noted that GĂŠry's removal has led to an institutional crisis
00:26and has exacerbated the nation's political landscape in times of crisis.
00:30In this sense, the new leader's main responsibility will be to guarantee the country's democratic transition
00:37towards the upcoming general elections schedule for April 12th.
00:46The result of the vote, Kel, is as follows.
00:50Candidate number to 46 votes.
00:52Candidate number for 60 votes.
00:55Blank zero votes.
00:57Invalid votes, 34 votes.
00:59Blank zero votes.
01:01Invalid votes, 3 votes.
01:03Consequently, Congressman BalcĂĄzar has been elected president of the Congress of the Republic
01:09and has therefore been proclaimed as such.
01:13And once the parliamentary vote was completed and the results were published,
01:17JosĂŠ MarĂa BalcĂĄzar was earned in at least a context of political transition.
01:22In his first message to the country, he committed to defending national sovereignty.
01:29I, JosĂŠ MarĂa BalcĂĄzar, swear by God, by the country, and by all Peruvians who have faithfully
01:38served as president of the Republic, which I assume in accordance with the political constitution
01:43of Peru from this moment until July 26, 2026, that I will defend national sovereignty.
01:50The physical and moral integrity of the Republic and the independence of its democratic institutions,
01:57that I will expand and enforce the political constitution and laws of Peru,
02:02and that I will soon recognize the cultural and moral self-determination of the people.
02:12Also, JosĂŠ MarĂa BalcĂĄzar, who has assumed the position of interim president of Peru,
02:16has declared his commitment to a democratic and peaceful transition.
02:20In his speech, he assured that his goal is to ensure that the upcoming elections are conducted
02:24in a transparent manner, without any doubt, as to the legitimacy.
02:31There will be a peaceful, transparent democratic and electoral transition, with no doubt about
02:37the elections.
02:38Second, to maintain true peacefulness, and to have actions in the ministries to tackle citizen
02:44insecurity.
02:45I realize that they are not addressing the issue where they should.
02:48I have always said, MR, president, that criminal organizations.
02:52I have been in the system.
02:54I have been in the justice system for many years, and if someone wants to solve the problem
03:00of the National Penitentiary Institute of Peru, and I say, well, they are wrong, completely
03:06wrong, that problem is not solved with a few laws.
03:09The National Penitentiary Institute responds to the entire national justice system.
03:15The public prosecutor's office, the judiciary, the Ministry of Justice, criminology institutes,
03:22universities, otherwise we cannot solve it, and on top of that, organized crime is no longer
03:28a crime, as it traditionally was, national, no longer.
03:32The Aragut train, for example, has connotations of international terrorism, and well, that is
03:39why it should be punished by any country in the world, but we have to discuss this, and
03:44we have to sit down with thinking people, with people who really want to bring peace to this
03:48country.
