Ministro de Justicia pide al Poder Judicial resolver casos de Chavín de Huántar y El Frontón antes de expresar “indignación pública”

Minister of Justice and Human Rights Ernesto Álvarez has publicly called on the Peruvian Judiciary to reach final verdicts in the Chavín de Huántar and El Frontón cases before expressing public indignation regarding executive actions. The minister’s remarks follow ongoing tensions between the executive and judicial branches concerning the handling of these high-profile human rights and legal proceedings.

While asserting that the executive branch maintains a commitment to the separation of powers, Álvarez defended the right of government officials to criticize judicial resolutions, noting that such critiques are protected under the constitution. The request highlights the friction between the branches of government as they navigate the legal resolution of these long-standing cases.
