congressman Diego Bazan He declined to confirm that his bench would not support, without prior evaluation, a replacement text to advance the 2023 elections. However, he recalled that if the proposal did not win 87 votes, a referendum would need to be held, adding to the time limit for the eventual announcement of elections leading to them being held in 2024.

In an interview with RPP News, Diego Bazan criticized the president of the republic, Dina Boluartefor announcing last Sunday that if the consensus in Congress to advance the election is not successful, the executive branch will submit two legislative initiatives for constitutional reform so that a general election can be held this year.

“In this climate of political uncertainty, a direct threat to Congress was unnecessary. If she wanted to introduce her after all this process, that turns out to be the way out, but her message that she poses this threat to Congress is very unnecessary. Ms. Dina Boluarte must respect that there are processes and that they are judged by Congress,” he said in a Everything is known.

Diego Bazan considers it legitimate that the sector is in favor of advancing elections for 2023; however, he elaborated that another group in the country is asking Congress to “act responsibly.” In addition, he expressed regret that the formulas proposed in this proposal lead to such consequences as the suppression of internal elections in parties.

“Primarily, Preliminary country He does not intend to extend his stay in Congress, he wants the processes to be followed in an orderly manner. (…) I believe that what the population is demanding is legal, that it is valid: they are definitely tired of the political class, but we must be responsible as congressmen, ”he said.

Finally, the parliamentarian considered that if the president Dina Boluarte resigns, the head of Congress, Jose Williams, should call a general election, not just a presidential election, as some in Parliament are suggesting. He added that his position is that the transitional government is “sustainable” and that he is betting on the governability of the country.

“The big problem is that we don’t have a vision for the future. If we get into a situation of pressure that we are under on the street, the only thing we are going to create is that the next Congress and President will fall into absolutely the same (…) This is just a transitional process, this departure must be arranged orderly,” he added.

Ultimatum from Dina Boluarte to Congress

President of the Republic Dina Boluarte said last Sunday that if there is a consensus in Congress on early electionThe executive branch will present two legislative initiatives for constitutional reform so that general elections can be held this year.

The president’s announcement came a day after violent protests that left a man dead in central Lima. The head of state criticized parliament for not approving early elections despite the citizenship announcement.

” Congress of the Republic discussed postponing elections to 2023. And, as we already know by now, a fruitless debate that has not led to anything concrete, except for a revision that will be discussed tomorrow and which, we hope, deserves a second reflection, given the seriousness of the situation. I repeat that this vacuum is unacceptable for Peru,” he said.

Regarding his bill, he argued that elections would be held on the second Sunday in October, which would shorten the terms of the executive, the Congress, and the Andean Parliament.

“It is envisaged that the President of the Republic calls the general elections for the second Sunday in October 2023. Congress may enact other laws necessary to hold the 2023 general elections before February 28 of this year, without applying the time limit provided for in Article 4 of the Organic Electoral Law,” he added.
