Loyalty Over Merit? Peruvian Minister's Allegiance Sparks Debate

Peruvian Minister's Allegiance Questioned: Loyalty Over Merit in Boluarte's Cabinet? Peru is buzzing with discussion about the appointment of César Sandoval as Minister of Transport. Sandoval, previously a close associate of César Acuña, now shows unwavering loyalty to President Dina Boluarte. This has led to questions about whether merit or political connections are the deciding factors in ministerial appointments. "Te hacen un examen: defiende a la presidenta… y si lo haces bien, eres ministro," states one of the video's hosts, highlighting the perceived importance of loyalty over competence. The video showcases Sandoval's enthusiastic support for Boluarte, contrasting it with his past relationship with Acuña. This situation underscores concerns about transparency and potential cronyism within the Peruvian government. While the government has not directly addressed these concerns, the video's analysis sparks a crucial conversation about the qualifications and political allegiances of those in power. The public deserves to know if appointments are based on merit or loyalty.
