Peru's justice minister resigns

Written By:Joseph Maiyo/BBC   , Posted: Sun, Jul 18, 2004

Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo has announced that Justice Minister Baldo Kresalja has resigned. Mr. Toledo said Baldo Kresalja offered his resignation because he opposed a new law regulating the broadcast media. Mr. Kresalja was against the fact that the law allows up to 40% foreign ownership of Peru's radio and television stations. The resignation comes at a difficult time for President Toledo, whose approval rating is below 10%. Mr Toledo is struggling to rebuild his credibility after losing several ministers in corruption scandals. The outgoing minister also said that the law relies too heavily on self-regulation at a time when many of Peru's media tycoons are involved in corruption scandals linked to the former President, Alberto Fujimori.
