While the Plenary Session of Congress debated the bill against urban terrorismthe parliamentarian of Fuerza Popular, Olive trees livedrevealed that she is a victim of extortion. The particular thing about his revelation is the phrase he used, when comparing himself to a citizen. “You feel like just another citizen. That being a congressman and having security, you suffer from extortion,” he expressed. At another time, he referred to the event again, indicating that he feels fear and that he hopes that Congress can reach an agreement regarding the regulations.
Like her, the Peru Libre parliamentarian, Pasión Dávila, indicated that he was also a victim of extortion. Prior to both legislators, the president of the Commission of the Oversight and Comptroller’s Office revealed that Congressman Héctor Acuña has been being extorted and even a grenade was left for him outside the school that he owns, in Trujillo.
On the other hand, Olivos expressed his concern regarding the increase in crime and indicated that he previously requested that a plenary session be held purely on security, but his request was ignored. “We are tired of intimidation, of extortion, of not being able to live day to day, of seeing that we post on social networks,” he described.
