Among the moves in Congress, the parliamentarian announced that he will distance himself from the faction led by José Luna. Which political party will he join?
Speaking to the press, the congressman Carlos Zevallos announced that he will resign the Podemos Peru benchafter learning of the admission of his colleague Darwin Espinoza, who left the parliamentary group of Popular Action amid serious allegations against him.
“I have no problem with the issue of Guido Bellido, I do not want to talk about the issue of Mr. Darwin Espinoza, I have no problems with him, but I have already said it in a Sunday program that If he joined the Podemos bench I would have retired and I am on the verge of doing so.“I simply have to have a meeting with the bench because I do not want to harm the bench,” he said.

Let us remember that both legislators shared a bench with Acción Popular, so Zevallos was involved in the ‘Los Niños’ case due to an error by an effective collaborator.The decision has already been made, I am withdrawing from the benchI am going to submit my letter of resignation, I have already spoken with the spokesperson, Mr. Luna,” he said.
It should be noted that Zeballos indicated that his departure from Podemos will take place after the distribution of commissions, as he does not want the party to lose one of the three working groups that correspond to it.
“At this moment the bench can have three committees, and if I suddenly withdraw, I could be in danger of obtaining a third committee and I would be harming the work of a colleague, and that is the last thing I want,” he said.
