Congressman Luis Ángel Aragón was chosen as the Popular Action candidate for the presidency of Congress after the censorship of the parliamentarian of the Alliance for Progress, Lady Camones, who was removed from office due to the questions against him for the audios that starred with the leader of APP and candidate for the Regional Government of La Libertad, César Acuña.
The current head of the Transport Commission surpassed his colleagues Edwin Martínez and Karol Paredes, current president of the Parliamentary Ethics Commission.
According to sources from La República, another agreement reached by the bench of the lampa is to vote again as a block. This in order to “recover the trust of citizens and the prestige of the party.”
Precisely, the struggles within Popular Action were evident in the plenary session, where two sides could be identified: the block of parliamentarians organized by Karelim López as ‘Los Niños’ and the group led by the former president of Congress María de Carmen Alva.
disciplinary process
The agenda of the bench meeting contemplated the evaluation of the beginning of a disciplinary process against María del Carmen Alva. However, this point could not be debated because the group prioritized the election of its candidate for the Board of Directors.
A sector of the bench wants Alva Prieto to be investigated and eventually sanctioned for agreeing to chair the Foreign Relations Commission when the title was going to fall on Raúl Doroteo. The former president of Congress managed to take over the ownership of the aforementioned working group with the support of Renovación Popular, Fuerza Popular, Alianza para el Progreso and Avanza País.
According to spokesman Elvis Vergara told Canal N, the sanction that could be imposed on María del Carmen Alva “ranges from a warning to the expulsion of the bench.”
