Congressman Guido Bellido (Perú Bicentenario) blamed the President of the Republic, Dina Boluarte, and the INPE for the possibility that it could happen to Castillo Terrones.
“We ask international organizations to address the health and legal situation. On the other hand, we demand a comprehensive and timely evaluation of your health,” he wrote in his personal X account.
In addition, Bellido urged the Constitution Commission, controlled by Fujimori, to consider his bill seeking amnesty for Castillo to get out of jail. “I urged the Constitution Commission to attend to my bill and issue a favorable opinion to save the life of Pedro Castillo,” he added.
The former Minister of Women, Anahí Durand, also mentioned that the Boluarte Zegarra regime “must ensure their right to health and is not doing so.”

Raúl Noblecilla, who was Castillo’s lawyer and former vice minister of Territorial Governance, questioned that “the parliamentary left has shown a concern and solidarity never seen before.”
“I wish they had shown this attitude from the moment the illegitimate regime hijacked democracy. “Hypocrites!” wrote Noblecilla.
