Second Vice President of Congress Henry Wongin dialogue with RPP Newsreferred to the recent resignations of Congressmen Gladys Echaise and Héctor Acuña of the Alianza para el Progreso (APP) faction at the stage of creating lists of candidates for the Board of Directors.
“After this was a bench with a lot of congressmen, from a tiger turned into a kittenbecause the problem is that Gladys Echaise has resigned, others will follow. Hector Acuña has already resigned from what is considered going to pull 7 (congressmen) who signed a petition to become president (of the next board of directors),” he said.
In this regard, he compared these APT resignations to what happened in Parliament between 2017 and 2018 with a group led by the then congressman. Kenji Fujimori.
“Very similar to Avengers that Keiko’s problem with Kenji is that they broke up. Same thing will happen here.. I believe that out of 15 participants in the APP caucus they will stay with 5and it will be another mini bench,” he said.
Next board of directors
In addition, the parliamentarian pointed out that for the next parliamentary term, the “Board of Directors consultationgiven the current political situation.
“The ideal would be a board of directors that unites. Times change. A year ago, we did not think that the political situation would be as difficult as the one we are experiencing now, and that the Board of Directors would be required for consultations, where represented most of the movements are benches,” he said.
Similarly, Congressman Wong did not rule out possible participation in the next board of directors of Parliament and indicated that he “in conversation” to form a “coordination bench”.
“Conversations are held with different benches to see how it is consulting table, as I call it. Why do we need to restore confidence and attract more investment,” he explained.
In this sense, he emphasized that there was a possibility that in the said consultation bench, congressmen from Free Peru.
“May be. There are many congressmen from Peru Libre who They also seek to organize. There are many laws that brought us into agreement, as in the case of this binding parallel law (…) It was almost a vote in this unanimous”, he referred.
bicameralism
On the other hand, Congressman Wong referred to the proposal to return to the bicameral system, which was discussed yesterday in Parliament. Full and expressed confidence that it would be approved without the need referendumin the next legislature in August.
“I’m pretty sure because we asked revision. Remember we came with 72 votes so only 15 votes left. And many did not go, because it was done only on 114 congressmen. And there are a lot of them too Free Peru who asked for this bicameral thing to be we discussed to the next legislature in August. That’s why I’m sure he’ll come out”he decided.
As you know, yesterday the proposal to return to the bicameral system did not get 87 votes, for which it should be submitted to a referendum. In this regard, the parliamentarian said that citizens oppose the proposal because “ignorance”.
“Perhaps there will be better political control, better laws, which are made taking into account the fact that the Senate is a review chamber, reflexive. But the important thing is that () developed countries have something in common that they have, in addition to free market economic systemthis is bicameralism. Who only has one camera? Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba, countries that are not developed”, he explained.
