Congresswomen Patricia Juarez (Popular Force) and Maria del Carmen Alva (Popular Action) had an incident with the official legislator Guillermo Bermejo (Peru Libre), who tried to speak without being given permission during the debate in plenary this Thursday.
The event occurred after the plenary session of Congress refused to approve two modifications that the Constitution Commission, chaired by Patricia Juárez, had proposed to the regulations of the Legislative Power, which, firstly, returned to declarative laws in motions, and secondly, raised the number of signatures to request the censure of the Board of Directors of Parliament to at least 20.
Faced with this result, the Fujimori congresswoman reacted by criticizing her colleagues for not having endorsed the text that had been agreed upon in her commission and which included an article proposed by Alex Flores, from Peru Libre, to make the declarative laws previously presented be processed. as such and not as motions.

“This is a very clear example that you don’t want to work meticulously. For that the people have chosen us, for a quality legislative production. It is unfortunate that we do not want to raise the level of the laws that we have to give to the citizens to correct the serious problems we have “said Patricia Juárez.
At that time, Guillermo Bermejo, with the microphone turned off, made some statements that were not captured by the audio broadcast by the Congress channel. Still, Juárez responded and called his meddling a “lack of respect” and “chivalry.”
The president of Congress, María del Carmen Alva, also intervened to silence Bermejo. “A congresswoman is speaking. The others listen in silence. I always say the same thing and I’m not going to answer you, Bermejo. Be quiet”, he asserted while the other congressman responded from his site.
Patricia Juárez concluded her presentation with a criticism of Bermejo, who is facing trial for allegedly having ties to terrorist remnants in Vraem.
“It is not only the quality of laws that Congress gives that is causing disapproval to grow, but we also have people in this room who are prosecuted for terrorism and who spend all day here. That is what this blurred image that we have is bringing us “, were the last words of the Popular Force legislator before Alva closed the plenary session.
