The experienced press man questioned the president peter castle and told him that a resignation from his position would be “a patriotic gesture.”
“Mr. President Pedro Castillo, a resignation would be a patriotic gesture.

The former Minister of the Interior had requested Gallardo’s retirement, since the changes that the latter intended to make would reduce the efficiency of the fight against crime and corruption; however, as he did not receive a response from the head of state, he chose to resign.
“That is a thunderous silence, because it says a lot, (the president) has expressed a position of clear and direct support for the Commander General of the Police,” said the former supreme prosecutor in an interview with La República on Sunday, January 30. In the end, Castillo accepted Guillén’s resignation and also sent Gallardo into retirement.
At another point in his podcast, Hildebrandt referred to the former president of the Council of Ministers. “And today Mirtha Vásquez left, stoic, patient, political, put up with too much and tolerated almost everything,” he said.
