Vladimir Cerrón mocks justice again, now with a 47-minute virtual speech at the Peruvian Freedom Congress | Policy

Liberal Peru Party leaders in hiding Vladimir Theron,not only Daily Pronunciation On Saturday, he also attended a special party rally remotely, while authorities insisted they were looking for him and that he would be caught.

The congress is hosted by the National Executive Committee (CEN). Free PeruCerrón participated via the Zoom platform. He spoke to the audience for 47 minutes.

He experienced connection problems during his speech and, near the end, responded to a tirade from party members with hand gestures, suggesting his participation was live (see video).

However, until the release of this note, the party leadership had not confirmed whether it was a live link or a recording.

The event included the participation of the Second Vice President of Congress, Valdemar Theron; Peru’s Liberal Party spokesman Flavio Cruz, lawmakers Americo González, Kelly Portalatino and Maria Aguero, and other leaders and activists.

Yuri Castro, secretary of the Liberal Party of Peru in the Lima Metropolitan Region, told Business News that the event took place at a civil construction union site in La Victoria (Lima). Although he attended the rally, he said he could not specify whether Ceron’s message was real-time.

That same Saturday, Interior Minister Juan José Santiváñez again said Cerrone would be captured, even adding that he knew his location.

“I know we’re close. I know we know where it is. We know where he is and hopefully we can bring him to justice as soon as possible,” he said in an interview with the media.

However, when asked what allegedly prevented his arrest despite his location being known, he said: “We have to see. We know the radius where it is, the jurisdiction. We also need geolocation devices. “We are using them now.”

Last Thursday, Theron also posted a video on the social network X in which he appeared to be talking about the Venezuelan elections.

El Comercio recently reported that last July alone he published more than 460 newsletter posts discrediting investigations against him and commenting on political events.

“He knew nothing would happen to him.”

Former Interior Minister Mariano González noted that Ceron was not afraid to appear at Free Peru events because “he had peace of mind knowing that nothing would happen to him.”

“He controls those who are supposed to be looking for him. There are serious doubts about the government’s performance in the search process. When you want to search, all you have to do is to form a team and other necessary procedures,” he said in a conversation with El Comercio.

For González, “the government is solemnly committed to protecting Theron.”

The former minister added that not only the executive branch “turned a blind eye” but also the Congress of the Republic.

“The creation of the congressional board shows that everyone is turning a blind eye to this. It has political backing. The Democratic Bloc (composed of the Popular Force, Progressive Alliance, Peruvian People’s Party and National Alliance) has capitulated and surrendered to the power of Theron and his company. This is not a question of left or right. Insecurity and corruption have no political color,” he pointed out.

Santiváñez ‘made fun of citizens’

Former Interior Minister Carlos Basombrío assured that “at this point, it would be naive for anyone to believe that the government is interested in capturing Vladimir Theron.”

For Basombrio, Santiváñez “made fun of the citizens” by insisting that Theron would be captured immediately.

He added that when it was learned last June that Theron was hiding at a property in Huancayo, “the police did not put in place surveillance measures to prevent him from escaping, until they had permission to enter, they did nothing and he escaped. “This goes against all professional police practice.”

At the time, Santiváñez blamed the judiciary for allegedly taking five hours to authorize a search of Theron’s property. Police ordered to move from Lima to Huancayo to perform the operation.

Furthermore, the operation was conducted two days after receiving crucial information on Theron’s whereabouts.

Basambrio noted that “in general, (Santibanez) is a minister who has served impunity on various issues. (…) It is not the first time that he has said that they already knew where Theron was. Obviously, if this news had reached him, he would have left that place. Only an accident or bad luck on the part of Mrs. Boluart’s government could have led to this arrest. (…) Theron has reason to be confident.”

Asked if the rest of the republic’s parliament would reprimand the interior minister, he said: “Of course, of course. What happens is that this minister is completely in line with the values ​​and interests of the parliament on a series of issues related to the protection of corrupt people and other types of criminals. (They don’t touch it) not even for rose petals.”

fallacy

In a speech to the Free Peru Congress, Cerrone again referred to the alleged political persecution against him, noting that his party is “suppressed by a legal war.”

Ceron has been in hiding since October last year, when the Junín Municipal Provisional Criminal Appeals Chamber approved a sentence of three years and six months in prison for conspiracy. Wanka Airport Case.

The court found him guilty of arranging the signing of a contract for the construction of Junín Airport without authorization from the Civil Aviation Administration. In 2014, when he was governor of the region.

In addition, the Sixth Preparatory Investigation Chamber of the National High Court recently sentenced him to 12 months of preventive detention in the Antalsis case. This is the second preventive prison sentence for Cerrón, who also received a 24-month prison sentence for alleged money laundering through Perú Libre.

Speaking in parliament, Theron assured that activists will not lose confidence that “the party will win the electoral process again.” Your presidential candidate and winner of the 2021 elections, Pedro Castillowas placed under preventive detention for launching a coup.

Another time, he denied that there was fraud in the Venezuelan elections and that dictator Nicolás Maduro intended to remain in power. “The Venezuelan people are in danger of being invaded. (…) He has decided to continue on the revolutionary path,” he said.
