Jose Williams: “All tasks continue as usual, congressmen work”

Congress President, Jose Williams Zapatanoted that parliamentarians “normally” carry out their managerial activities, despite the march called “The Capture of Lima” it was concentrated in the early hours of the morning in front of the Legislative Assembly.

“What we have done is not convene a plenary meeting so that there are not hundreds of people in the main building, but congressmen are working, they are in their respective buildings. I’m going to be here all day until I have to leave. All tasks continue as usual,” he said.

It is worth recalling that on the eve of the Board of Directors Congress ordered “to suspend the plenary session of the Congress” and the sessions Council of Representatives”convenes on Thursday, November 10, at 9:00 am” to “ensure the safety of congressmen.”

However, various parliamentarians, including the President Congressarrived at the Legislative Headquarters to carry out various activities on their agenda.

“The performer has developed a script for today”

from my sideAlejandro Munantethe third Vice President of Parliament, indicated that the march convened today was to serve as a basis for supporting a possible confidence question.

“They have developed a scenario here this Thursday, with a march in the street, in front of Congress. The prime minister walks with all his ministers, walks along the avenue. Junin, making his way through the crowd that was going to flatter him. Then he will enter the door of Congress, raise the question of confidence, and when he comes out, he will receive the applause of this crowd. This is a scenario that they developed and, of course, it will not be implemented,” he said.

In turn, Congressman Hernando Guerra GarciaChairman of the Constitutional Committee of Parliament, called “irresponsible” the alleged political use of today’s march.

“It is very wise to seek to ensure the safety of employees, people who work in Congress (…) The Chairman of the Council of Ministers wanted to take advantage of this, to put on a performance about this march called “La”. Thomas de Lima,” and this is not only demagogic, but also irresponsible (…) and I believe that this can lead to a constitutional charge for presenting the text of the Council of Ministers,” he said.

Hours earlier, congressman Jose Cuetomember of the People’s Renewal Bench, criticized the head of the Lima police station for saying he “didn’t know” that the protesters were in favor of Lock They were about to address Congress.

“I have already stated that, in addition to informing us earlier that we have information that at 4.5 am (the protesters) are going to gather, the general was probably asleep at that time. It surprises me that such a person as a general does not have information, even if this is an unscheduled issue for him,” he said.

In this sense, he said he “does not believe” the police chief’s story and criticized the fact that the protesters were allowed to reach parliament.

“Let him say that he didn’t know, personally I don’t believe him. It seems to me in bad taste to see how, on the one hand, in the demonstration that took place last Saturday, with all the knowledge that it was notified, they kept us away from Congress. Today, because the general did not know, they arrived,” he said.
