The Congress of the Republic agreed today to grant investigative commission powers to the Supervision group to investigate the clandestine meetings held by the president Pedro Castillo in the house of the Sarratea passage, in Breña.
The motion was approved with 79 votes, 39 against and zero abstentions.
The Peru Libre caucus and Juntos por el Peru were the ones that voted against this proposal, the rest of the parliamentarians supported the measure and the only one who did not cast their vote was the legislator Lady Mercedes Camones Soriano, from the Alliance for Progress. .
During the plenary session, the congressman of Podemos Peru, Enrique Wong, thanked the press for the dissemination of the videos in which it is corroborated that Castillo went to the aforementioned house to have appointments with public officials and state providers without a record of those encounters. The program Cuarto Poder was the one that made the recordings.
Congressman Américo Gonza (Peru Libre), for his part, questioned this decision and exclaimed “why don’t they let the president govern?” He argued that pretexts are being sought because “we refuse to accept that a man of the people won the elections.”
