Who shielded and saved Freddy Díaz, accused of rape, from disqualification?

Shame. 10 days have passed since the year 2023 began and the Congress of the Republic already has all the spotlights on it after the rude shielding that it granted today, Tuesday, January 10, to parliamentarian Fredy Díaz, accused of having raped a worker in his office on the premises of Parliament.

A week before, the Permanent Commission unanimously approved the final report that recommends disqualifying for 10 years for the exercise of public function Freddy Díaz for the crime of rape, and although, at first it was thought that it would follow the same route in plenary; The surprise was great when the proposal was sent to the archive. Only 60 voted in favor of disabling it and 66 votes were required by regulation.

But, Who were the parliamentarians who protected the legislator? 21 congressmen were those who voted in abstention, while two voted against. Guess who? The defendant was one of them and the other was Luis Picón Quedo, another not grouped.

Among the 21 congressmen, Luis Gustavo Cordero Jon Tay (accused of assaulting a woman and spreading her intimate video), Héctor Valer (accused of family violence) and Guido Bellido (famous for making misogynistic statements) stand out, who save the necks of Freddy Diaz.

What is Fredy Díaz accused of?

As is public, the events were recorded on July 27 at the congressman’s office, located in the congressional building on Jirón Azángaro. That night, the then legislator from Alianza para el Progreso –according to the testimony of the aggrieved woman– “pressured her to toast” for the election of Camones as president of the Legislature.

In that place, moreover, there would be doped, outraged and even kidnapped by preventing him from leaving the premises. To justify the execrable act, Díaz later maintained that he had a “sporadic relationship” with the complainant, a version that was emphatically denied by her.
