Resigning from the Board of Directors Digna Calle told La República that her colleagues do not advance elections because of “the salary they receive.”
the admiral(r) Jorge Montoyabelonging to popular renewalopined on the sayings of the congressman Digna Calle after resigning from the Board of Directors of Parliament. The decision of the legislator was based on the general rejection of the early elections. There are four constitutional reform projects that are inoperative. Street told this media that “the salary they receive” is the main argument for which the “fathers of the country” persist in their seats, despite 89% of national disapproval.
In dialogue with Radio Programas, Montoya responded that he felt “offended” by Calle’s allusions. “I have not entered Congress for the money, I have entered to serve my country (…) I do not accept these accusations that we do nothing,” he said.
The right-wing congressman proclaims that the Legislature must stay to fulfill his term of office until 2026. His narrative about the current social conflicts also coincides with that of the president Dina Boluarte: the “international bullies” would finance the marches, as well as profiles linked to “terrorism”, illegal mining and drug trafficking. Just like the first president, Montoya has not presented evidence.
In his opinion, “there is no solution with the early elections and Congress has already made its decision, there are no early elections. (That is) the will of Congress (…) let’s not waste time on that.”
