“We are democrats as much as we are frontal against Odebrecht mega political-business corruption. Today, with an aspiring effective collaborator, they intend to break the democratic government and achieve impunity. We demand rapid investigation, whoever falls! but never coup plotters or vacators”, Roberto Sánchez, who is also Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, posted on Twitter.

“It is unfortunate that they want to pass off the statements of Mrs. Karelim López, an aspiring effective collaborator, as a truth when there is not even evidence, to do so is to call the vacancy as the right does”, wrote Isabel Cortéz on social networks.

“Gravity of the facts deserve to find a way out”

Unlike her bench colleagues, the JPP spokeswoman, Ruth Luque, supported the tax investigations and summoned those involved “clarify the reported facts and make themselves available for investigations”.

“I reaffirm my position to strengthen effective collaboration mechanisms that serve as a bridge to discover serious acts of corruption that damage our institutions.”, he added in his Twitter post.

Likewise, in allusion to President Pedro Castillo, the legislator considered that “the seriousness of the facts” merit “finding a way out within the rule of law: resignation, constitutional accusation or vacancy.”
