During his tenure, Castillo Terrones had appointed as prefects and sub-prefects teachers related to Fenatep, a union that derived from Conare-Sutep, the most radical faction of the teaching profession. Also to people related to Peru Libre and, even, to signatories of the Movadef planillions, the political arm of the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso.
One of the 312 sub-prefects removed yesterday is that of La Victoria, Jesusa Ccori Fundar, endorsed with her signature Movadef’s request to be a political party, according to an investigation by the newspaper El Comercio. According to said media, 41% of the prefects and sub-prefects appointed by the former president were members of the pencil party.
At the beginning of 2022, Pedro Castillo met in the Palace with several of the sub-prefects appointed in his Government.

The region where the highest number of dismissals was recorded was Ayacucho with 46. Precisely, the protests against the Boluarte Zegarra administration and Congress left 10 deaths in that area of the country. The deaths of these citizens are investigated by the Public Ministry.
