This Monday the 6th, a new leaked audio of the president of Congress, Maria del Carmen Alvain which she attacks former president Martín Vizcarra for having dissolved Congress with a Fujimorist majority in 2019. Despite the fact that the then Government had been denied two issues of trust, the pro-government considers that the former president closed Parliament because “the Armed Forces They were confiscated.
“But now the Armed Forces are with us,” warns Alva Prieto immediately.

Given this, the constitutionalist Omar Cairo warns that María del Carmen Alva would have violated the Magna Carta. He specifically warns of an alleged violation of article 46, which establishes that “no one owes obedience to a usurping government or to those who assume public functions in violation of the Constitution and the laws.”
“What has been intended with the use of the Armed Forces and with the use of the vacancy institution in a distorted manner is to displace and put an end to the mandate of the president and vice president, which is provided for in the Constitution for five years, and reduce it to one year. It has been tried to usurp political power and with the support of the Armed Forces”, Cairo declares to La República.
In that sense, the alleged infraction of the president of Congress would have to be analyzed by the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations in order to determine if there are arguments to accuse Alva Prieto before the plenary session.

“Constitutional infractions are punishable by impeachment,” says Cairo.
“The Permanent Commission would have to accuse the president of Congress for violating article 46 and, in addition, the articles that regulate the presidential term, which are article 112 —which says that it is five years— and 111 —which says that the presidential ticket is elected for the same term—. She would assume power against what the Constitution says, using the Armed Forces and the vacancy institution. Therefore, the sanction would be suspension, dismissal or disqualification. In this case I think that, due to the seriousness of the infraction, the disqualification could be for up to 10 years”, points.
