Peru21 has revealed that Somos Perú, the new Lizarzaburu party, will present a preliminary question so that the report can be reviewed again by the Ethics Committee because the sanction is extreme, said its spokesman, Alejandro Soto.
The vote on this file was postponed two weeks ago because Lizarzaburu was traveling.
And the second report on the ‘mochasueldo’ case is also scheduled, which recommends the 120-day suspension of the congressman of Acción Popular, Jorge Flores Ancachi.
The agenda also includes the second vote on the constitutional reform bill that eliminates regional movements and allows, for the only time, the re-election of mayors and regional governors.
