The last session of the Plenary left pending the debate on the modification of the Law 32130, better known as the law against organized crime, and the law that seeks to include the crime of urban terrorism in the Penal Code. The route of both regulations is uncertain, despite the fact that the Legislature spent more than seven hours in session.
This was observed by the Congressman Susel Paredeswho highlighted the excess of intermediate room for each project. “We had a plenary session that started at 2 in the afternoon. Several projects have been debated. They all went to the intermission. They had Peru in the intermission,” he expressed in a video published on his official X account.
Likewise, he highlighted the series of modifications included in the rule presented by the Justice Commission. “Later, only one project has been approved that refers to attempted crimes, but later regarding criminal organization, no agreement has been reached. On top of that, they have presented us with a bill on systematic crime that modifies a lot of articles of the Penal Code, which includes new figures, which creates specialized prosecutors’ offices, which creates special units, which has really been done without any seriousness and in the end we have come to nothing,” he indicated.
Susel Paredes rejected police repression
Also, the parliamentarian rejected therepression and police abuse exercised by the National Police of Peru against protesterswithin the framework of the transport strike that began last October 10. In this context, the parliamentarian demanded the departure ofMinister of the Interior, Juan José Santiváñezand that of the president of the Council of Ministers, Gustavo Adrianzén.
“The repression against those who protest to live in peace, to work without being killed is unacceptable. Go home Santivañez, go home Adrianzén. We are a country adrift,” he wrote in a publication on X.
His statement was accompanied by a screenshot of Latina in which the police repression committed against the protesters was displayed.
Through another publication, the legislator recalled the large number of groups that join the protest and support the main request: the repeal of Law 32108. “Comex, Cofiep and other business associations agree with the transporters and citizens: Law 32108 must be repealed because it hinders investigation and makes it difficult to punish crimes. Are we not going to hear this claim?” he wrote.
In this context, he questioned that the request of the transporters is not heard and only the modification of the law against organized crime is proposed but not its repeal. “The Board of Spokespersons convenes in plenary session tomorrow, Friday at 2pm and they do not include a repeal of Law 32108 that relaxed the prosecution of organized crime, they only propose modification. Do they want to set the country on fire?”, he published on October 10.
