Malaga criticizes the president’s message Congress, Eduardo Salhuana.
What flavor does the president’s message leave you? Congress?
Unsatisfactory. He has focused a lot on administrative matters, on saying that the office is going to be reorganized. That is administrative responsibility. And the Prosecutor’s Office will be responsible for criminal responsibility. But for me, the most important thing is political responsibility. You cannot be president of Congress and at the same time the arm of APP (Alliance for Progress) in Congress. The arm of César Acuña, Richard Acuña and Luis Valdivia, especially the latter, who has been directly associated with Jorge Luis Torres Saravia. It is not a whim to say that APP has political responsibility.
More concerned in him than in him Congress.
It seems that Salhuana He is an expert at talking a lot and saying little. What I would expect from a president of the Congress It is that you give everything for your institution. This scandal has stained the 130 congressmen. It is very offensive that citizens think that Congress is a brothel, a brothel. It is serious, what is happening is very serious. And that the president of Congress comes out very calmly to say that they are going to provide facilities and they are going to evaluate the directors of the offices… He should be furious, he should be the most furious person and more on top of everything that is being done about it . The fact that there are people linked to a party involved in this reveals a traditional practice in Congress: the hoarding of positions. Every time a new Board of Directors takes office, the positions are redistributed. But the offices you mention Salhuana They are those of the DGA (Directorate General of Administration), they are offices of Parliament. But those that are distributed among the members of the Board of Directors are not being touched.
In APP there is a struggle.
I don’t know that there is a fight. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we remember the infamous audio with which Lady Camones was censored. They censured Lady Camones for much less. And with leaked APP audio. Imagine how they will gouge out their eyes. That happens to APP for not thinking better about the candidates for the Presidency of Congress.
The agenda is not clear. He Congress Chinese has not started his term.
One wonders what they are going to do there. It is a state issue. The geopolitical context is very important. China is entering the region with great force. That in this context, Peru having been a guest of APEC and the president having met with the Chinese president, is practically a sign of submission, of loss of sovereignty. Because if these were technical issues, they would have invited delegations from the tourism and foreign trade or foreign relations commissions.
In 2023 there was also a debatable trip to China…
Yes. The president of Congress You should be very careful with everything that concerns China. There is a big absence in this discussion, which is Fuerza Popular. Fuerza Popular is quiet. They obtained a personal statement from Héctor Ventura that he would not support censorship. This reveals that the alliance with APP It is too important for Fuerza Popular to question it. This is unfortunate. Congress is not only complacent with the Government, but with themselves. It is the pinnacle of the otorongo does not eat otorongo. This is the Democratic Bloc, not even Cerronism. Incredible.
The Permanent Commission cannot censure the president of the Congress.
Look, I am not the expert on procedures, but as far as I understand, first of all, we would have to wait for the legislature to restart, because a high number of congressmen are needed. However, an extraordinary session may be called in order to evaluate a motion of censure. Of course, that would have to be decided by the Board of Directors and the spokespersons, and as we have already seen, there is not much interest in it. The other alternative is that, if censorship does not occur, Salhuana could step aside due to a democratic attitude. He could make the grand gesture via a resignation, which has already ruled him out, or a leave of absence. You can request a license for one month while it is investigated. And if it is not finished, extend it. In theory everything is possible. It depends on political will.
The Prosecutor’s Office has just visited the Congress.
The Prosecutor’s Office sees the criminal matter. I focus on politics. It was not appropriate to give the signal that dismissing the senior officer would end the problem. Yeah Salhuana If he were president of Peru and there was a scandal like that, what awaits the country? That is why I opposed his appointment and that of any of APPexcept Lady Camones. APP He brought the rapist, the money-changer, the audio mole… Isn’t that enough jewelry?
Does censorship move?
It would be wrong to move something so serious on a personal basis, because I am a member of a bench. There are discordant opinions within Avanza País. I understand that the bases are very upset and are waiting for a firm response. There is still no consensus, because we have not met. Many are traveling.
PLEASE NOTE
“Congressman Williams should be asked why he made that decision. If I were you, I wouldn’t go (to China).”
“Does Salhuana think how offensive and degrading this is for all the women who work in Congress? All the comments that many professionals have to endure thanks to the irresponsibility of APP. Not a word in his defense?”
“Salhuana was careful to mention the presence of the union leaders. There is a situation that is not clear.”
