“Many have indicated that this (to summon the president) had to be done through impeachment. But you have to be clear. Article 117 of the Constitution indicates the reasons why a political trial could be initiated and corruption issues are not indicated, ”he added.
Along the same lines, Bazán Calderón recalled that one of the steps in the impeachment process for a president It is a presentation before the national representation, in order to offer the defense of the questions for which it is sought to declare “morally incapable”.
“If we want the president to finally break his silence, we have to initiate a vacancy process. It wouldn’t necessarily end with him going home, but it would be achieved that he has the courage to go personally, and not send his lawyer to Congress and answer a series of questions, “he explained.

Diego Bazán describes Pedro Castillo’s refusal to prosecutors as “painful”
At another point in the interview, the congressman Diego Bazan classified as a “painful” act that the president Pedro Castillo has not authorized the access of the prosecutors to the office of the Secretary of the Presidency. In that sense, he hopes that in the next few days “a clear message will be issued by the Executive.”
“We don’t have to get to have a motion for vacancy more than destabilizing. We do not want to be that Congress that seeks unreason. We have plenty of reasons to do political control and supervise. I hope the Executive reacts. Otherwise, at some point that will break down and we will have to appeal again to a possible vacancy motion ”, added.
