‘Mary’the former employee of the parliamentarian’s office Freddy Diaz who denounced him for rape, expressed his “indignation and disgust” at the decision of the Plenary session of the Congress of the Republic of shield the legislator and not approve the proposal of the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations to disqualify him from public service for 10 years for violating the magna carta.
“The first thing I felt is that they are mocking my case. Not only my case, but many cases or of many women and people who dare to denounce, and that people with power can simply get away with it in this country,” the victim told Canal N.
The woman “absolutely” denied having had a relationship or “something sporadic” with Diaz Monago and regretted that congressmen have used that false statement to vote abstaining from the disqualification.
“Some congressmen have come out in their favor saying ‘well, all that is justifiable because we supposedly had a relationship.’ What a pity for them! The first thing I felt was hate, but then I just felt sorry, because how is it possible that they show so much machismo? You really have to work a lot in Peru on this because it is not possible that women representatives of the homeland, former Ministers of Women have simply decided to turn their backs on me and many women who dare to denounce”, said ‘María’.
“They have taken my case only to put their political interests above and today it has been demonstrated with the 21 votes in abstention, because abstention is like saying ‘you know what…, you can get away with it.’ (…) The only thing I have left is my integrity and dignity, and even that he wants to steal from me, ”she added.
Victim of Freddy Díaz: “My fight is not Congress”
‘Mary’ He indicated that he had “a little hope” that justice would be done within Congress; however, he clarified that he always made it clear that their fight will be defined in the Judiciary.
“I had a little hope. Anyway, I had already discussed it with my psychiatrist and it was very clear that my fight is not Congress, it never has been. I can’t expect anything from Congress. My fight has always been in the judicial field, and that is where I will go to the end. I am not going to arrest, I am going to see him imprisoned. Those 10 years of disqualification that they wanted to give him are not going to help him at all for the 25 years that he is going to spend in prison ”, pointed.
