Tanya Ramirez of Fuerza Popular calls her party’s proposal to push the election irresponsible.

Congressman for the People’s Force Tanya Ramirez He once again called irresponsible his party’s proposal to postpone the elections to 2023; however, he denied that it caused friction on his bench. On the contrary, the parliamentarian recalled that the previous proposal (elections 2024) had already been determined in Congress.

“Having a different attitude is not being a rebel. To have a different and well-founded position is not to be a rebel. This is not to say that we should all think the same way, after all, we live in a democratic country, we are the Democratic bench, and I think that my position or my other teammates should be respected, ”he said.

In an interview with the RPP, Congresswoman Fujimori said that for her, the protest “has ceased to be legal” because incidents of violence were reported during the demonstrations. Similarly, he calculated that the session, which resumes this Wednesday, February 1, will not receive the necessary votes to approve early elections.

“We don’t have an official opinion yet. As I understand it, from the Chairman of the Constitutional Commission (Hernando Guerra Garcia) that they are still negotiating, and if not, then I have already said publicly that they will fall. There are no votes because there is no agreement, they do not come to a consensus. They’ve been there since yesterday and won’t do it in three hours,” he said.

“The truth is that I have to be honest and I don’t see any way for them to reach a consensus since the position of the sector is to never open the doors for consultation to the Constituent Assembly (…) Yes (Dina Boluarte) feels in the ability to put things in order, why not (stay), this is what suits him, and if not, then he should step aside,” he added.

Early Elections: Congress Postpones Debate Again

Today, Board of Directors of the Congress announced that the plenary session was adjourned until tomorrow, 1 February, starting at 11:00. A project to advance the elections was due to be considered this afternoon, but it was again shelved due to a lack of consensus among the parliamentary benches.

On Monday, the re-discussion of the initiative to advance the elections was approved by 66 votes after last Friday’s failure to garner 87 votes. However, the situation continues without a visible solution.

Congressman Fujimori Patricia Juarez said yesterday at PTR that they are seeking to submit a replacement text that will enable them to obtain the 87 votes required to approve the draft in this legislature, which has been extended to 10 February by order of the Board of Directors.

“The benches that ask for a lot understand that there is something that cannot be fulfilled, at least for now. The final proposal is being finalized. If the proposal of one of the political forces is accepted, then we will not be surprised at the high number of votes,” he said.

Alberto Otarola also spoke out the day before, asking parliament to approve a project to advance the elections as soon as possible, as called for by President Dina Boluarte.

“As for the bill announced by the President of the Republic to advance the elections, I repeat that we are waiting for this decision with the understanding that all the democratic benches will discuss it, and I am sure that they are very urgent about the situation in the country,” he said. .
