After the president of Congress, María del Carmen Alva, will call on President Pedro Castillo not to talk about the issue of vacancy in his speech of this Tuesday, March 15 before the Plenary, the lawyer of the head of state has questioned this request, since he considers that it is limiting the right of his sponsor to give an opinion, since his request is not in the Constitution.
“The president of Congress is pointing out that the president of the Republic has to talk about some messages where the issue of vacancy is not considered. That is not in the law and there is no legal basis and there is no history that the presidents of the Republic have been limited in their right to be able to give their opinion, to address the country,” he said according to RPP.
In that sense, the lawyer considered that if the president of the Congress is suggesting to the president not to touch the points on the vacancy motion that will be debated on March 28, she would be “cutting” the right to inform Peruvians.
