The denunciations about $18 million (being moved) to a bank account in Singapore during my trip are completely false,
And $18 million in three Japanese banks, completely false. That I have two factories in Panama, also completely false. This is part of the counter campaign of some people.
The investor knows quite well that we don't have anymore the widespread terrorism here in Peru.

I want to assure your excellency that I am occupying myself permanently and jointly with my team to achieve a solution as soon as possible to this crisis, the principal objective being the safeguarding of the health and life of those who are inside.
The liberation of those who commit murder and terrorism is unacceptable.
What we are doing in fact is recovering and progressing and sustaining the recovery of our democracy.
