In Fuerza Popular there are practically two or three who are not going to vote for any changes, in Avanza País they indicated that April would be a reasonable date, as I understand it, one or two will not be convinced there either. In our case, most of us support this initiative, some colleagues who think otherwise. I mean precisely by collecting signatures from different shops that we could, and we estimate that we could get 66 votes,” he said.

Disputes in the cafeteria

On the other side, Eduardo Saluana considered “unfortunate statements” to justify his colleagues in defense of the smorgasbord in full days of Congress.

“These are clearly unfortunate statements. I think that an official should have enough nobility to recognize when there is a mistake of this kind. There is a mistake, so I asked the president to remove the buffet and restore our small menu of 20 soles on full days, otherwise there will be no lunch, and we, congressmen, can calmly accept this,” he said.

On the possible extradition of former President Alejandro Toledo from the United States, Eduardo Saluana He expressed his “disappointment” and “regret” that a character who “helped” the Madre de Dios region “so much” ended up in “difficult circumstances”.

“This fact gives us several signals: if someone commits an illegal act, if they allegedly act illegally, the law and the national and international legal system work (…) we are returned extradited here with all the guarantees of due process. The former president of Toledo can tell his truth or be held accountable with all guarantees, and if the judiciary determines responsibility, it will impose appropriate sanctions on him,” he said.
