Flor Pablo also specified that “personal and partisan interests weighed more than those of Peru”, in relation to the protests that are taking place in the country, the same ones that have unleashed more than 50 deaths.
“Personal and partisan interests weighed more than those of Peru and we could not provide a way out of the political and social crisis we are experiencing. (…) After weeks of debates in Congress, we reached the only certain point: the majority did not He wants to leave. No opinion prospered,” he said.
Archive project of the Executive
The Constitution Commission of the Congress archived the project of advancement of general elections promoted by the government of Dina Boluarte. The benches of Avanza País, Renovación Popular, Alianza para el Progreso (APP), Acción Popular, Podemos Perú and Perú Libre opposed the initiative in the context of the political crisis.
Parliamentarian Alejandro Cavero presented a point of order that demanded that the second paragraph of article 78 of the Regulations of Congress be respected; that is, for the initiative to be debated, it must have the approval of the majority of the commission, otherwise, the holder would send it to the archive and it cannot be seen unless agreed by half plus one of the legal number of congressmen.
