Karol Paredes: “We cannot go to early elections if there are no reforms”

Karol Paredes, congressman for Acción Popular, expressed his opposition to the possibility of early election this year without the approval of the electoral reform. In this sense, he believed that this issue should be treated responsibly before its approval.

“We cannot get ahead of the election if there is no reform, and what’s more, when we talk about this issue, it’s because we have to go to 2023, always improvising, not planning anything, not following the procedures or the Constitution itself. I think we should think in the country if we are fully responsible and if we believe that six presidents have passed. There were also congressional elections. What are the benefits that the population has received? “program.

On the other side, Walls argued that Dina Boluarte’s government was legitimate because there was constitutional succession after the vacancy Pedro Castillo. In addition, he considered that she should remain until 2026.

“I think it makes sense (for him to stay until 2026). First, you have to respect democracy because Ms. Dina was part of the board and what she did was take this position through succession, which is also constitutional,” he added.

On another occasion, the parliamentarian also commented on the package of measures for Puno. In this sense, he believed that the President Dina Boluarte one should think more about the country, and not individualize investments in one region.

Election debate continues

The plenary session of the Congress rejected this Friday by 62 votes against, 41 votes in favour, and two abstentions, the request of Congressman Jorge Montoya (People’s Renewal) to reconsider the vote that approved the resumption of the debate to move forward the general election for this legislature.

With this decision, the national representation ratifies that constitutional reform initiatives related to the promotion of elections will be the subject of study and opinion in the Constitution and Regulation Commission.

Congressman Jorge Montoya was in charge of presenting the arguments of his request, which sought to archive submitted electoral promotional drafts by showing that he is critical of those benches that support cutbacks in executive and legislative mandates.

After congressional consent, non-group parliamentarian Carlos Anderson believed that what was decided in the plenary session was “better than nothing”, since his colleague Montoyaas he said, “he intended it not to even be discussed” promotion to elections

“We must continue to try, tuning in to what the population demands (…) We have lost legitimacy, as well as the executive branch. There is a request for a new start,” he said. News RPP.
