Edgard Reymundo, from Cambio Democrático-JP, said that they will vote in favor of the ruling, noting that the political situation is quite complex.
“It is one of the viable measures, but the position of the bench is that a referendum for a new Constitution should also be considered at the same time,” he said. The spokesperson for Fuerza Popular, Patricia Juárez, affirmed that she will continue to support him in plenary.
“Of course, if it is an opinion that comes from a commission that is chaired by a member of the bench and that we have also voted in favor of the Constitution,” said Juárez.
He considered that there is discontent not only from the Executive but from the Legislative, And if the congressmen have to leave for President Pedro Castillo to leave, they are willing to cut his term as well.
He added that the current legislature can be extended until February and see this matter. Alejandro Soto, from Alianza para el Progreso, reported that his bench “without a doubt” will support the proposal in plenary, when noting that the congressmen of his party voted in favor of the opinion in the Constitution.

The alternate spokesman for Acción Popular (AP), José Arriola, He said that his bench is fragmented and, therefore, he can vote in any direction on this opinion.
“My bench is not an example of anything. This game. Some vote against, others in favor, others abstain and others do not vote. That only happens on the AP bench, unfortunately,” she said. In a personal capacity, he stated that he is against the ruling and that the congressmen who want to leave should resign.
The spokesman for Peru Libre (PL), Flavio Cruz, said that although they have not defined a position, they are always based on the vote of their members in commissions. Waldemar Cerrón, Alex Flores and Jaime Quito voted against the ruling. It is expected, then, that if they reach plenary they vote on this opinion in the same sense.
“It is a fool that the right puts up because it does not want this government for anything. I don’t see anywhere that they really want an early election. It is not an adequate way out, what we need is for a referendum to be called for a new Constitution”, said Jaime Quito.
The spokesman for Renovación Popular, Jorge Montoya, indicated that they will not support the initiative. “It is a populist measure because it sounds good to people and the times are not real because it has to be approved in two legislatures,” he said. He stated that if he did not appear before the closing of this legislature in December, he would see himself in the next two in 2023. “He does not arrive, unless everything is run over,” he declared.
