Congressmen from the Fuerza Popular, Popular Renovation, Avanza País, Acción Popular, APP, Somos Perú and Integrity and Development groups joined the initiative.
If these groups vote as a block, they would comfortably exceed the 66 votes required to approve Huerta’s dismissal for his “manifest moral incapacity and lack of suitability for the exercise of office.” He would be the seventh head of the Ministry of the Interior to fall in 14 months of Government.

The motion considers the constant and irregular changes in the high command of the National Police, as well as the unstable situation of Harvey Colchado, head of the PNP special team that provides support to the anti-corruption prosecutors led by Marita Barreto.
In this sense, it is indicated that Huerta’s departure is justified in “avoiding the continuation of similar acts that affect the institutionality of the National Police, and presumably endorse an interference in the investigations of autonomous bodies regarding the disciplinary process initiated against Colonel PNP, Harvey Colchado.
According to the Regulations of the Congress, the motion is debated and voted on between the fourth and the tenth calendar day after its presentation.
