Adrián Peña, was forced to resign his position as minister on Monday after being discovered that he lied to the country by posing as a graduate in Business Administration, when he did not finish his degree at the Catholic University of Uruguay. He left office, and will assume the seat in the Senate, which was questioned by former prosecutor Jorge Díaz on the Lado B television program, this Wednesday the 31st.
Díaz argued that it is not good for democracy that politicians who lie continue to operate, that politicians who offend through social networks or commit crimes continue in their positions, and are not tried because they have parliamentary immunity. “It is not the same in this country to be a politician than a common citizen,” he pointed out, marking his discrepancy with the yardstick that the interpretation of the law measures the common citizen and the politician.
