“This is a distraction that indicates fear in the palace”: parliamentarians spoke about the march called today

Ungrouped congressman, Edward Malagain dialogue with RPP Newsrules on the so-called march “The Capture of Lima” that sympathizers with the government of the President Pedro Castillo called today, Thursday, to the streets of the capital.

In this regard, he described the specified march as “distracting maneuver” promoted by the executive as a result of various issues and investigations involving the head of state.

“I think we are getting caught playing in a rather obvious, rather theatrical red herring that seeks to create a popular narrative about a battle between two powers. I think we’re really digressing, we’re not talking about important issues like public policy, climate change; [y]first of all, because of the scandals that surround the executive branch,” he said.

He also described as “irresponsible”that such demonstrations are taking place, given their ‘struggle in the streets’ connotation.”

“What does he do Lock This is nothing but drowning flip flops. It’s a distraction that shows the fear, the fear they feel in the Palace; because, unfortunately for them, the siege of investigations, the siege of the actions of political control over Congress”, he claimed.

In addition, he said that measures such as today’s show that parliament should promote “faster” vacancy against Peter Castillo.

“We’ll have to put our batteries in Congress and promote the vacancy faster and ask that whoever takes over, mistress boluart or lord Williamsthat general elections are called ahead of schedule, with a minimum of reforms,” ​​he said.

“It is strange that the protesters reached Congress”

On the other hand, congressmen from the bench popular update they arrived at the headquarters of the Legislative Assembly, despite the fact that Congress President José Williams suspended all activities in said state power.

congressman Jose Cueto, a member of this bench, noted that the arrival of the parliamentarians of his group was a response to an already scheduled meeting. In turn, he criticized the head of the Lima police station, saying that he “did not 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.

In turn, the first vice-president of the parliament, Martha Moyano He ruled on the response of the President of the Congress to Prime Minister Aníbal Torres on the issue of confidence.

“It’s not that we answered the trust question, there’s no mistake in that. The issue of confidence was not raised because it is raised at the plenary session. This must be taken into account. What we have rejected is a letter in which they ask to be called immediately, urgently, in order to release them from all terms, so that a bill can be passed to repeal the law that just regulates the issue of trust management and which constitutional Court declared constitutional, up to the demand that they themselves put forward,” he explained.

At the end of this note, the protesters who arrived at the front Congress they were already dispersed and concentrated in different parts of the historical center of the capital.
