in the middle of a new political crisis and an eventual presidential vacancy on the table, the focus is also placed on the president of the Congress, Maria del Carmen Alva, because legislators from their own caucus were involved in the last corruption scandal. On Alva would fall the conduction of an eventual transition; however, the action-populist group is also immersed in the crisisso its leadership in the Parliament.
In addition, in these seven months of management, Alva was also unable to build a solid leadership in the internal forum and before the citizenry. This was reflected in the recent Ipsos survey, which showed that 62% rejected his management. This could lead some groups to ask the AP to step aside in the presidency of Parliament, because in the face of this severe crisis, convening voices are required to generate consensus.
SIGHT: Karelim López commits Pedro Castillo in acts of corruption
On his Twitter account, the former Minister of the Interior, Carlos Basombrío, maintained that it is “much healthier for the country if they all leave”, otherwise “we are going to stay with the followers of Bermejo, Cerrón, with the Movadef, with the five ‘children’ (referring to the committed AP legislators)”.
The position of the alternate spokesman for Fuerza Popular, Eduardo Castillo, was as follows: “Peru cannot be anyone’s farm. If Castillo and Boluarte leave, Alva should take over, unless the benches take the context into account and there is a different political consensus.”
The Board of Spokespersons will define today, at 9 am, if the vacancy motion against Castillo proceeds. At 6 in the afternoon there will be a special plenary session where the issue would be addressed.
There is a consensus between APP, Podemos, Renovación Popular, Avanza País and FP to continue with the vacancy motion. Even Congresswoman Ruth Luque (Together for Peru) was in favor of finding a way out “within the rule of law” through “resignation, constitutional accusation or vacancy.”
KNEW THAT
- Today, Congress will see the censorship promoted by the Free Peru and Democratic Peru bloc against two members of the Board of Directors: María del Carmen Alva and Vice President Lady Camones.
