Not for much getting up early – I

ignore

Ignoring a resolution of the Constitutional Court, which questioned the early morning sessions of the Legislative Plenary as it considered them a violation of the rights of citizens to be informed of the votes and other decisions, the Board of Directors chaired by María del Carmen Alva prolonged the plenary session on Thursday until 5 am yesterday, Friday. The claims of some parliamentarians were useless…

Not for too early – II

pretexts

“There are many issues on the agenda. Normally we have not held plenary sessions until so late, the legislature is already ending”, was the response of the head of Parliament, who, if we remember correctly, offered at the beginning of her administration that they would not return to these bad practices. Why then did they extend the period until July 8? Very hardworking they turned out.

in the executive

They don’t want to work

On the opposite shore was the Executive. Just two weeks ago, President Pedro Castillo declared, very loose of bones: “Famine is going to hit those who do not work, the idle.” Well, it seems that the president quickly forgot about his warning. First, his government declared a holiday on Monday the 13th for the Peru-Australia playoff match and yesterday announced that next Friday the 24th will also be a non-working holiday for public sector workers for Farmers’ Day. How easy they take it!

Acuna’s word

on deaf ears

The casting vote of the president of the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations, Rosío Torres, which allowed the constitutional complaint against Manuel Merino to be filed for the death of the young men Inti Sotelo and Bryan Pintado, has left his Alianza para el Progreso party in a bad light. And it is that not a few remember the “indignation” of its leader Cesar Acuña for what happened in the demonstrations of November 2020 and his demand that those responsible be punished. Words to the wind… once again.

Guido Bellido

will not apply

And anticipating the “surprises” that the head of state has announced for his message on July 28, the congressman for Peru Libre Guido Bellido assured that he will not run for the presidency of Parliament for the period 2022-23. In addition, he ruled out that he is “in the bolo” of possible replacements for Aníbal Torres in the premiership. Wow, what a relief! Finally good news.
