The journalist Jaime Chincha, during his program From Fact to Saying, made reference to the attack suffered by Congressman Alejandro Cavero at the Lima Art Museum. Videos shared on social networks show the congressman with his shirt torn and without glasses, while he is accompanied by security personnel towards the exit, amid shouts such as: “Get out, shit!” and “It doesn’t do anything for the country!”
In communication with Epicentro.TV, Cavero said that he was with his friends at the aforementioned party in Centro de Lima when a woman began to insult him and record him. This made the legislator uncomfortable, so he took his cell phone away. During the fight his shirt and glasses break. In the recorded videos, the woman can be heard saying: “Give me my cell phone back.”
“No attack has justification, but Mr. Cavero should not have taken the cell phone from the lady who was recording it. When a person is public, he has to sulk. Even then he starts recording and that is also an attack. You cannot take away his cell phone. cell phone to someone like that. That’s attacking someone. The only thing you had to do was leave the place,” the journalist reported.
Jaime Chincha on Public Budget 2025: “It was an improvisation”
At another time, the journalist recalled that, in just two hours, the Plenary Session of Congress approved the Public Sector Budget Law for Fiscal Year 2025 in the session last Saturday, November 30. The opinion, which was approved by a majority in the Budget and General Account Commission of the Republic, establishes a total budget of more than S/251 billion.
This rule is not only notable for the speed with which it was approved, but also that it was done without the deputy minister of finance, a position belonging to the Ministry of Economyessential to address the budget proposals, since he is in charge of matters of public budget, treasury, public debt, accounting, supply and fiscal management of human resources, his office being responsible for articulating the financial administration of the public sector.
This was confirmed by the journalist Jaime Chincha, during his program From Fact to Sayingin which he commented on the public budget approved by Parliament. “If you don’t know how to spend, why increase it?” Chincha highlighted.
To complement this, he interviewed the economist Eduardo Recoba. “It has been a very politicized budget. There is an actor that has almost smuggled itself in, which is Congress, jumping on the bandwagon of spending that does not correspond to it,” he said.
“This budget has been in Congress since September. Historically, between 15 to 20 days have passed between it being debated. Something that has not been seen in this legislature. In addition, this budget did not include a vice minister of Finance in its discussion because there was none (…) We have to be attentive because there are very opaque, very strange things here about the participation of Congress in the discussion,” he added.
