Valer was appointed prime minister by President Pedro Castillo on 1 February 2022, following the resignation of Mirtha Vásquez. Following his designation as Prime Minister of Peru by President Pedro Castillo, it was revealed that his daughter and his wife had denounced him for physical abuse in 2016.[5] On 5 February 2022, before the confidence vote requested for that day was even scheduled by congress,[6] Valer announced that he would resign from his position and denied the accusations, saying that the right-wing elements of Peru were responsible for the reports.[2][7]
When discussing in Congress about those killed in the Juliaca massacre during the 2022–2023 Peruvian protests, Valer issued a terruqueo attack by placing an image of a hammer and sickle near the images of the victims, stating that the dead held "the attitude of those who use the masses and who militate in the Shining Path, who continue to have a communist ideology".[8]
