Assistants say Castillo drank some substance and didn’t remember speaking.

Guido Bellido, Pedro Castillo’s former chief of staff, said this Friday (9) that the imprisoned former president “may have been encouraged” to dissolve Congress and “doesn’t remember” reading the coup d’etat that led to his removal from office.

“‘Why did you do the reading?’ (About the decree that dissolved the Congress). He replied that he did not remember” conspiracy.

“There are indications that the president had to read the dissolution message, and whoever wrote the text did so in order to provide an argument (imposition) for the vacant seat, because until then they had no votes (in Congress) to determine who the architects of this fall were.” said Bellido on Twitter.

Lawmakers argue that Castillo was under the influence of the substance. In the networked message, Bellido raises the theory that Castillo was “out of his mind” and requested toxicological testing.

“Casillo’s psychological state as he read the message to the nation indicates that he was out of his mind, suggesting that he may have been encouraged[to read the message]. An urgent toxicology test is required.”

The version that Castillo acted under the influence of a substance was also considered by him. Guillermo olive oilone of his lawyers.

What I do know is that when the former president read this message written by others, minutes before he was given a drink, supposedly water. AND He felt dizzy after drinking the water.

“Everyone could see that he was shivering, and I think he had calmed down a bit.”

Congress had planned to discuss Castillo’s impeachment last Wednesday (7). However, the president stepped forward and announced in a televised speech three hours ago that the Congress was dissolved, the curfew was enforced and he would rule by decree.
