Carlos Anderson: “It has been more than demonstrated that there is no desire in Congress to advance the election”

Ungrouped congressman Carlos Anderson Decided at the first session of the plenary session of Parliament of the second ordinary legislative assembly scheduled for today, which will reconsider the vote on the promotion of general elections.

In this regard, MP Anderson Ramirez He stated that the National Representation did not intend to approve a constitutional amendment allowing for said elections.

“Admiral Montoya He was very skillful at the end of the last legislature. By requesting a retrial, you have prevented a retrial in Constitutional Commission and we could speed up the time (…) I don’t think the revision will take place today. It has been more than demonstrated that there is no desire in Congress to advance the election,” he said in a News Extension.

In addition, the parliamentarian believes that even within the framework of Constitutional Commissionpresided over by Member of Parliament Hernando Guerra Garcia, there is no desire to approve the proposal for before the general election.

“In the Constitutional Commission, we will have the same story (…) I am convinced that everything we have seen in recent months, this apparent interest of Fujimorism in promoting elections, was not real. In fact, It gave exactly the results that I think they expected, that everything gets stuck and that in the end everything changes in such a way that nothing changes (…) I also do not believe that if it is seen in Constitutional Commissiongo fast,” he said.

In this sense, he blamed Fujimorismo for not approving the proposal for a general election in April 2024.

– I do not believe them at all, because I saw it in the acts. If there was such a conviction, the December vote would have been ratified in January, and that’s it, we would have already talked about the advance; but they came up with the idea that it should be 2023 and we have already seen what happened. It’s not about doing something in a hurry (…) I don’t believe them at all,” he said.

“In Congress, semi-dark management”

On the other hand, when asked about the alleged abuse of contracts for goods and services by the administrative leadership of Parliament, Congressman Anderson He argued that “there has always been a somewhat vague handling” of this aspect of the Legislative Assembly.

“Let’s not forget that Congress has a budget of more or less S/73 million a month, more than S/800 million soles a year. They have 4000 workers. I think if we call everyone to find out who is who, we’ll find a lot of ghosts. There has always been a semi-obscure Congressional decision,” he said.

“The entire Peruvian state is full of these dark cases, where logistics are key, all processes are falsified. A state of emergency has been declared in order to be able to directly bid. These are injuries that recur at all levels of the state, including Congress”, he added.

Given this, he felt that parliamentarians should receive “more detailed information” about “key decisions” that are made at the administrative level. “They asked me about rugs? No. By a law firm? Neither one nor the other. These are third-party solutions,” he stressed.

In the same time, Anderson Ramirez pointed to the president’s “lack of leadership” Dina Boluarte which, in his opinion, is expressed in his decision not to travel in person to testify before the prosecutor’s office investigating the fatal events that occurred at the protests.

“If prosecution Do you have specific questions, what is the difference between doing it digitally and not doing it directly with the belief that it is true? I think it would be very important to see this, because we would see a real person, and not someone who reads a teleprompter or slips of paper that their lawyers give them. Especially when it comes to speaking the truth in the face of justice. It would be very powerful,” he said.

“This says very little about the leadership qualities of the president. Such a vital issue for people’s emotional health (…) we can’t leave it up to typical times prosecution”, he added.
