This Monday, the Ethics Commission of Congress did not approve the ex officio complaint against the fujimorista Hernando Guerra Garcia for having appeared at the June 27 session of the Production, Micro and Small Business and Cooperatives Commission from the beach. This, despite the fact that he had not requested the respective license.
The complaint was rejected with 5 votes in favor and 9 against. They were against the initiation of a proceeding against Guerra García Popular Force, Popular Renewal, Democratic Change, We Are Peru and Popular Action. Carlos Anderson joined this group.
These benches opposed despite the fact that the Fujimorista asked the working group chaired by Karol Paredes to review the issue: “A few days ago, due to an unhappy image, I have been the subject of criticism and comments. That is why I allow myself to make a few brief reflections, not by way of defense, because I could do so before the Ethics Commission, which I myself request to see my case”.

“I made a tremendous mistake, the mistake of wanting to do everything. Being with my daughter, attending to my issues as a spokesperson, and fulfilling my duties as a congressman, but I was wrong, one cannot do everything at the same time,” Guerra García acknowledged before the Plenary.

Hernando Guerra García: “Unfortunately, I had to work”
After being caught in session from a beach on Monday, June 27, the congressman Hernando Guerra García tried to justify his connection to the session of the Production Commission and alleged that, “according to the calculations” he made, he thought that no more parliamentary work would be carried out that day.
“I had been separated for a long time on the trip, with my family, and separated to rest as one can do and asking for permission to do so. What has happened is that, according to the calculations I had made, there were no longer going to be commissions or a plenary session, I programmed this. Unfortunately, I have had to work these days.
