The congresswoman’s closest circle Ariana Orue ( Podemos Peru ) was exposed. A recent report by Fourth Estate showed that Renzo Nicolás Basurco Echandíaadvisor II with a salary of 10 thousand soles, maintains a close relationship with the legislator’s sister, Shirley Orue. Links don’t just appear in photographs and social gatherings. They are recorded in police reports that report interventions in which both were protagonists, including an arrest in 2021 where Basurco was arrested for driving under the apparent effects of alcohol and Shirley Orue He ended up snatching documents from a police officer in a state described as drunk.
The presence of these interventions in official documents and the subsequent arrival of Garbage to a position of trust in the Congress fuel suspicions of conflict of interest. The current parliamentary advisor has no previous experience in the State, according to the sworn statement presented by the Sunday newspaper. Furthermore, his professional career before landing in the Parliament She had been linked to temporary jobs in security services and audiovisual work in a district municipality. Despite this, he joined Orué’s office in an advisory level II position, one of the best paid.
The report also shows that the relationship between Garbage and the congresswoman’s sister is not circumstantial. Police documents from 2019 already narrated discussions, accusations and tensions between the two, as well as previous work collaborations, including their joint time at the Municipality of Carmen de la Legua. Today, that closeness has been consolidated with the creation of a joint venture called África Producciones Perú, dedicated to events and communication.
The congresswoman has avoided answering clearly about the role of Garbage in his office and about his bond with his sister. Even when evidence and police records describe a romantic relationship, Orue He insists on denying it and attributes to the press an attempt to interfere in private matters. The criminal lawyer Cecilia Madridconsulted by the Sunday newspaper, considered that these actions could have legal consequences: “The fact that there is a connection with a relative of the congresswoman, who is ultimately the one who appoints him, may lead to an indication of some existing conflict of interest that should have been declared by both this person and the congresswoman,” she declared.

Parliamentary coordinator took congressman to the gym
The case of Renzo Basurco It is not the only question in the work environment of Ariana Orue. The report also documents that its parliamentary coordinator, Alex Paredesis used to take her to the gym in the mornings, before legislative sessions. Although the congresswoman maintains that it is support outside of working hours, the images show that the worker follows a schedule imposed by herself and remains waiting while the parliamentarian carries out her physical routine.
Paredes, whose position involves being a liaison with the electoral district and addressing citizen demands, ends up fulfilling functions outside of public service. According to public administration specialists consulted by the Sunday newspaper, this use of state human resources for personal activities could even constitute embezzlement, given that the benefit is private and has no relation to congressional work. The follow-up reveals that, after the gym, the congresswoman returns home with her security and only then addresses Parliament, sometimes arriving late to the plenary session.
“It is the congressman who establishes the work schedule of his workers. If this boy begins to do activities at a time imposed by the congresswoman, below 9 in the morning, which is normal, it is a schedule that she has imposed on him. This is an extra-work function that this man performs,” he declared. Jose Cevascoformer senior congressional official.
