The first vice president of Congress, Lady Camonesassured that the National Executive Committee of the Alliance for Progress “is going to be drastic” with the sanctions imposed on the person who broadcast an audio in which the parliamentarian is heard describe the Popular Action bench as a “criminal gang”.
In statements to Canal N, Camones Soriano specified that the party “is already taking action” and will soon communicate the results of the proceedings.
“I understand that they are inquiring about proximity because two voices are heard, Mr. (Luis) Iberico and I. Given the closeness (of the people who were around) it is warning or determining who it could be. That is a result that the Executive Committee will give in due course. In fact, they are going to be drastic with the sanctions that are applied (to the person who leaked the audio). We are definitely in a private space, of political conversation, and many things can be said,” he said.

The first vice-president of the Parliament also tried to justify the qualification that she used against the Popular Action legislators: “I was quite intense that day, quite indignant with some behaviors that we have had within the caucus. My spirits were quite high and I think that under those conditions I issued those qualifiers. I admit that I was wrong because not even being in a private space should I have expressed myself in that way.
Lady Camones indicated that members of the APP leadership, Secretary General Luis Valdez, Omar Chehade, Francis Alisson, Luis Iberico, an adviser from his office, Eduardo Salhuana, and other people whose names she does not remember were at the scene.
When asked if she believes that her colleague from the bench has released the compromising recording, the congresswoman indicated that she does not consider that Salhuana Cavides “has reached that issue.”
