Ricardo Valdés cuestiona permanencia con Keiko: "Los indicadores hablan en contra de Óscar Arriola"

Ricardo Valdés, a security expert, analyzes in Perú21 the first measures taken by Keiko Fujimori's government in response to the wave of crime and questions the lack of indicators and short-term strategies to measure results. Valdés argues that the Executive branch should clearly communicate its objectives for reducing common crime, combating extortion, and confronting criminal economies such as illegal mining, logging, and human trafficking. The expert also raises the need for police reform, although he cautions that it is a long-term process that must begin while the police continue operating. Among his proposals are recovering inoperable police vehicles, modifying the labor regulations at police stations, improving nighttime patrols, and investing in technology and intelligence to combat organized crime. One of the central points of the interview is the situation of the General Commander of the Police, Óscar Arriola. Valdés questions the results of his administration and points out a contradiction between the figures used by the police and other justice system operators. He also believes Arriola should consider stepping down for the good of the institution. Furthermore, Valdés comments on Lima Mayor Renzo Raya's proposal to allow EMAPE personnel to use firearms during surveillance duties. The expert considers this measure "senseless" and maintains that internal order and citizen security are constitutionally the responsibility of the National Police. #LaVozDel21 #RicardoValdes #Insecurity #CitizenSecurity #NationalPolice #OscarArriola #Crime #Extortion #PoliceReform #Government #KeikoFujimori #Peru #PeruvianPolitics #Lima #Congress #Peru21 For the latest news from Peru and the world and more content like this, visit our website peru21.pe
