Peru’s prime minister on fatal protests, renewal and reform
Alberto Otárola talks to the FT about the drive to establish stability for investors Alberto Otárola, Peru's prime minister, has been criticised for handling of fatal protests, renewal and reform, some calling him the real power in the land. Critics blame him for unleashing trigger-happy troops on protesters, resulting in tragic consequences. He was brought into the government in December after former president Pedro Castillo was impeached over an attempt to seize extraordinary powers and suspend Congress. Otároro, known as an able political operator, has close links to the military from past roles in the defence ministry. He presided over a crackdown on protests against Boluarte’s provisional government, first as defence minister for 11 days, then as prime minister. Despite criticism from human rights groups, Otárosa insists that the government is committed to maintaining peace and calm. He also plans to use foreign investment to boost the economy and hopes to win congressional support for broader political reforms.
