LOOK: Congress: Benches will give the names of the informal miners “captured” by their parties
Yesterday morning, Franco Bequer, in the company of four other informal miners from his union and members of the celestial party—Luis Ángel Mayta, Ithiel Espinoza, Magno Palomino and Javier Bernal—entered the Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre building, in the that the Energy and Mines Commission operates, to stick its nose into the expansion of the Reinfo, and participate in the work table to prepare the text of the report that will be voted on today at 2:00 p.m.
Today, while the Plenary Session was in session in the Chamber, Franco and Bernal once again entered Parliament. This time, to meet with Congresswoman Elizabeth Medina, from the Magisterial Block bench, a group to which the president of the Energy Commission, Paul Gutiérrez, belongs, remembered for having defended Movadef, from Sendero Luminoso, in an interview with this newspaper .
However, at the meeting last Wednesday – in which it was agreed to extend the questioned Comprehensive Registry of Mining Formalization (Reinfo) for one year, and give it an additional year, by supreme decree, if necessary – there were also two representatives of the informal miners, who are active in two parties with seats in Parliament. They are: Adolfo Valverde, from Perú Libre, from the fugitive Vladimir Cerrón; and Jaime Apolaya, from Together for Peru (JPP), of Congressman Roberto Sánchez.
Jhonny Taboada, from the Ahora Nación party—of Alfonso López Chau—, without a seat in Parliament, was also present at Wednesday’s meeting (we must not forget that, last week, José Farfán, a member of the Modern Peru party, who also did not has a bench in the Legislative Assembly, as revealed by Perú21, he was received with Taboada by the spokesman for the Fuerza Popular bench).
POPULAR FORCE: BANKS MUST GIVE NAMES OF INFORMAL MINERS OF THEIR PARTIES
The spokesperson for Fuerza Popular, Arturo Alegría, told Perú21 that the groups must give the names of the informal miners “captured” by them, and who are active in their parties, to find out if they want to generate “political returns.”
“I regret that these types of solutions for a large sector of the population. We are talking about about 80 thousand people involved in the formalization process, are politically captured by improvised parties to generate political revenue… Those who are part of a political party and they have an interest in handling this politically that they are clear, that they define it, what cannot happen is that in the middle of a debate on a public and big problem for the country, the political parties want to grab this like a flag. It is a serious matter. mistake, because not only It politicizes a serious problem in the country, but it also shows whether other interests exist,” he said.
As recalled, today, starting at 3:00 pm, the session of the Energy Commission begins in which the debate on the report that proposes extending the Reinfo for one more year, and an additional year if necessary, will resume. through a supreme decree.
