Congresswoman Sigrid Bazán announced the presentation of a motion of censure against the President of Congress, José Jerí Oré, who currently holds the position of President of the Republic in a responsible manner. According to Parliament’s regulations, 66 votes are needed in the Plenary for the censorship to prosper and his Government to end.
“José Jerí should not be in office one more day! As president of the Congress in charge of the Presidency of the Republic, what corresponds is to censure him. That is why we are collecting signatures to present a motion to demand his immediate censure. Peru cannot continue in the hands of the same people who lie, cover up and govern with their backs to the citizens,” he published in X.

In the motion of censure, it is also questioned that, under Jerí’s leadership, effective measures have not been adopted to combat the advance of delinquency and organized crime.
“That, Jerí Oré has demonstrated suspicious and extremely risky behavior for the country, by holding meetings with private businessmen, at night and outside the Government Palace. In fact, as ‘Punto Final’ reported, Jerí used the ‘presidential coffer’ of going to the chifa owned by Zhihua Yang, in San Borja, at dawn,” he mentions in the motion of censure.
“The president entered the place at 10:18 pm on December 26 wearing a hood that covered practically his entire face. At his side was a person with a cap, who today is known as the Minister of the Interior, Vicente Tiburcio,” they add.

In addition to the motion of censure promoted by Sigrid Bazán to force the departure of José Jerí, there is another legislative initiative that is advancing in Congress. The congressman Segundo Montalvo (Free Peru) promotes a motion for a presidential vacancy against Jerí for alleged permanent moral incapacity, due to the unofficial meetings he held with Chinese businessman Zhihua Yang, first in a chifa in San Luis and then in a minimarket in Cercado de Lima.
Montalvo confirmed that this request, which also includes criticism of the attempted privatization of Petroperú through a supreme decree, already has 14 signatures of congressmen who support the vacancy. Among them are Wilson Quispe, Ruth Luque, Elias Varas, Flavio Cruz, María Agüero, Isaac Mita, Jaime Quito, Alex Flores, Silvana Robles, Susel Paredes, Hamlet Echevarria, Sigrid Bazán and Elizabeth Taipe.
