The Popular Action bench, at the initiative of its legislator, Edwin Martínez, presented a bill that proposes to expel foreigners residing in Peru who have committed certain crimes, among which is drinking alcoholic beverages on public roads.

Among the arguments that support the legal initiative is that, according to figures from the Criminal Investigation Directorate of the National Police, from January to July 2021, about 7,000 crimes were committed by Venezuelan criminals and another 1,500 by foreigners of other nationalities.
