Del Solar Condemns Travel Ban on PPK: "Unjustified Abuse of Power"

Former Peruvian Prime Minister Salvador del Solar has criticized the 18-month travel ban imposed on former President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski (PPK). Del Solar, in a statement on his X account, called the ban an unjustified measure. He highlighted that Kuczynski attempted to travel to the United States before the ban was in effect, arguing that this demonstrates the ban's disproportionate nature. The controversy underscores concerns about the treatment of political figures within the Peruvian justice system. The video accompanying this news report shows Kuczynski in a wheelchair at an airport, further illustrating the situation. Del Solar's statement reads in part, "The word 'excess' falls short to describe this abuse against former President Kuczynski." This incident has sparked a debate about the fairness and proportionality of the Peruvian judicial system.
