(CNN Spanish) --

The former president of Peru Martín Vizcarra spoke exclusively with Fernando del Rincón of CNN en Español about what he believes may be the way for the country to overcome the serious political crisis that it has been dragging for years.

"I believe that the way out of the political crisis we are experiencing is for the government of President (Pedro) Castillo to leave, but Congress also has to take a really important measure to step aside," said Vizcarra.

"I believe that the way to get out of the delicate situation in which we find ourselves is, using the constitutional mechanisms, to advance the elections. But not only presidential but also congressional.

"And that can be done... through two ordinary legislatures so that there is a constitutional modification so that, for the only time, the term of office of the president and Congress is not five years, but one year. or 18 months, so that there is also an orderly transition, let's see the light at the end of this tunnel that we are going through".

Vizcarra said in the interview that, in addition to this, citizens also have to assume their responsibility "to elect better authorities."

"It's not just about Castillo leaving. Citizens don't endorse and support the actions of the current Congress either," added Vizcarra.
