With the objective of achieving an agenda on the reforms that Peru needs, LaMula.pe and Útero.pe began, this Wednesday, a series of dialogues with various political actors to think about #ThePeruWeWant.
In the first ‘Mulera terrace’which included the participation of former ministers, former congressmen and representatives of civil society, Rolando Toledo, director of the Peruvian Scientific Network (RCP), stressed that these meetings are a space to talk from different positions about what to do and how to help the country out of a “unprecedented political crisis”.
Toledo pointed out that this presentation coincides with the report on Peru from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR)“which shows us the drama of what we have experienced between December and February, the unforgivable murders by the forces of order and the need for justice.”
“But one of his main recommendations is dialogue. For us, this is a meeting, an element of dialogue from which we want to talk among all about what Peru we want, cow we imagine that we can get out of the crisis, to listen to each other, from the different perspectives, the different dreams that we have, so that among all of us systematize those positions and that it be a more mature dialogue, understanding what it is that we are wanting and the different perspectives that we have on the different topics of our national activities,” he said.
For his part, the former Vice Minister of Territorial Governance, Raúl Molina, explained that this campaign arises from the question about what would happen if the citizen requests are fulfilled advancement of elections, closure of Congress and resignation of President Dina Boluarte.
“We began to wonder if the situation for the mobilized people would really change if those flags materialized. In the discussion, the need for a more expanded, more open dialogue appeared, which included more Peruvians, who could deepen behind those flags, what changes does the Peruvian state need to make it effectively a State that responds more and better to the people, especially our people in the most rural areasfurther away that they have not been able to enter the market circuits in which many Peruvians entered in the years of greatest growth,” said Molina.
Molina made reference to some “loose proposals”, but which have “views very from the center, very much from the institutional superstructure, which They do not look at Peru or the Peruvian State with the complexity that even the last municipality has”. In this sense, he pointed out that the institutions of the Peruvian State must be designed to serve the citizenry more and better.
“We said that there are no spaces, Congress is not the space and in the most public arena, more citizen, there are not enough spaces, especially in many of the country’s provinces, in those that mobilized, that their people mobilized in December and January to discuss more broadly and people can have a more in-depth look at what needs to be changed. That’s where this project of the ‘Terrazas Muleras’ began to discuss what could be a more articulated agenda with a national view of what needs to be changed in the Peruvian State”highlighted the former vice minister.
This first meeting dealt with the political system. The second ‘Terraza Mulera’ will be about decentralization and the organization of the National Government. The following meetings will be about public management systems, the justice system and its relationship with the actions of law enforcement and, finally, the economic system.
In this regard, Molina acknowledged that “the discussion about the economic regime is the one that scares everyone the most in the Constitution”, but he proposed to discuss it “from what should be the adjustments in what we have been doing in recent years to manage to include all those who were left out”.
“It has worked up to a certain point, but there are other aspects or edges of the economic regime that is in the Constitution that they have not worked and we are not arguing seriously enough. What is it that needs to be changed? Suddenly it’s not the Constitution, suddenly it’s the way to understand it and apply it in that dimension,” he said.
Molina stressed that the objective is that the participants in the ‘Terrazas Muleras’ “cann discuss, contribute and contribute to expanding the public dialogue on absolutely substantive issues.” Finally, he announced, an agenda “as articulated as possible that encompasses these dimensions of change” will be presented to feed the discussion in the more political arena when there are new elections.
In this first ‘Terraza Mulera’ on the political system, former minister Marisol Pérez Tello, former presidential adviser Carlo Magno Salcedo and political scientist Gonzalo Banda participated as panelists. Likewise, former ministers Mirtha Vásquez and Gloria Montenegro, former ministers Hernando Cevallos and Pablo de la Flor, former congressmen such as Sergio Tejada, the rector of the National Engineering University (UNI), Alfonso López Chau, among other representatives of civil society.
