The allies of the vacancy They will not give up in their attempt to denounce the president for treason Pedro Castillo with the aim of disqualifying him from public service.
Despite the fact that the Constitutional Court (TC) declared founded last Tuesday the habeas corpus of the president and ordered Congress to nullify this case, the opposition clings to continuing with this process.
The Permanent Commission of the Congress The final report on the complaint of treason against President Castillo is scheduled for its session today. Sources from the Board of Directors told La República that the head of Parliament, José Williams Zapata, will not submit the file to a vote or debate. He will basically give an account of the TC’s decision and announce that the file will be returned to the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations to reformulate the accusation.
This newspaper contacted the president of the Subcommittee, Lady Camones, to ask her what this means. The congresswoman from the Alliance for Progress (APP) responded: “It is looking for new motivation, as indicated. A more sustained motivation. The constitutional denunciation will enter the qualification again in the SAC”.
This newspaper insisted on it. Will the complaint not go to the file despite the fact that the Court said that the process should not continue?
“The Constitutional Court does not have the file, has to annul everything from the qualification report to the final report and it raises in some way a new process”, claimed Camones.
This means that the case, from Camones’ point of view, will return to its initial stage, but it does not mean that Congress will send the treason complaint to the file.
Since this accusation was made public, which has as its basic support President Castillo’s statements in an interview on CNN, about the possibility of an outlet to the sea for Bolivia In our territory, jurists such as Pedro Grández, Omar Cairo and Ernesto Álvarez stated that it lacks support and is risky.

This was reflected on November 16, when, in a hearing before the plenary of the TC Regarding habeas corpus, magistrate Gustavo Gutiérrez asked the congressional attorney, Yuri García Cano, if the opinion of the head of state is an attempted crime.
“Do you mean that Is the figure of treason against the homeland based on the interpretation that is being made going to condemn the opinion itself? Or did the president take further actions after giving his opinion in the media?” Gutiérrez insisted. “Materially, we have not put it in the report. As you said, there is no material act, “acknowledged attorney García.
In the ruling party, they also rebuked the president of the Subcommittee, Lady Camones, for having supported such a complaint. Let us remember that when the final report was approved –supported by Diego Bazán, of Avanza País–, Camones voted in favor and marked the tiebreaker so that the file, which recommends disqualifying the president for five years, prospers and advances to the Permanent Commission.
Yesterday, at the SAC session, his former benchmate Heydi Juárez, who now belongs to Podemos Peru, claimed Camones. “I call your attention. You are the one who chairs the Subcommittee,” Juárez exclaimed. “We are not in a position to attract attention, it is understood that the vote was not based on my decision,” Camones stressed. But his former apepista colleague insisted: “We cannot make a fool of ourselves.”
But in Congress they do not reflect and will persist with the accusation.
They denounce them for a matter of trust
Yesterday the Integrity Civil Association filed a complaint with Congress for violation of the Constitution against President Pedro Castillothe first Minister Hannibal Torres and the rest of the cabinet due to the question of confidence that Torres filed last week to demand the approval of a regulation that repeals the law against the referendum.
The argument of the complaint is that the prime minister cannot request confidence for the approval of a law, since that is the exclusive competence of the Congress.

Jorge Montoya, Popular Renewal
“From our point of view, it seems strange to us (the ruling of the TC), but we have to respect it. Congress has to accept it. The TC is the last word, but Congress must close the case”.
Wilson Soto, Popular Action
“For us, the disqualification of President Pedro Castillo for five years is for violation of articles 32, 54, 110, 118 paragraph 1 and 2 of the Political Constitution.”
