Edward Rengifo Pezoadvisor to the congresswoman Lucinda Vasquezbroke his silence in an interview with RPP after being photographed cutting the parliamentarian’s toenails in her congressional office.
Rengifo Pezo rejected the accusations of misuse of time, calling them “completely false.” He justified his action as a “humanitarian act” of solidarity and empathy, explaining that he decided to assist the congresswoman due to her delicate state of health, since she “has advanced cancer.”
“They are totally false. But what I want to say before saying, I want to give the humanitarian theme. What action would you take if you saw a person who is limping, who has certain, let’s say, discomfort? So, one out of empathy, one for a matter of humanity, what you do is approach that person and ask them what they have,” he emphasized.
