And he added: “Otherwise, it will be evaluated at the time (the closure of Congress). We do not rule out that possibility.”
But shortly after the minister appealed to the figure of declarations “misunderstood” and remarked that he never led to the closure of Congress.
“Respectful of the Constitution and democratic institutions, I must clarify that my statements referred to the Constitutional authorization of the vote of confidence procedure. I have never offended Congress or any Power of the State,” Chero wrote on his Twitter network account.
Minister summoned by Congress
By then, Congresswoman Rosselli Amuruz had already sent a letter to the president of Congress, Maria del Carmen Alvato summon the minister to the next session of the Standing Committee to explain his alleged recommendation to dissolve parliament.
The document ensures that Chero, in his capacity as minister, should not make statements of this type, since he fulfills the function of “legal advisor” to President Pedro Castillo.
After a year, the Peruvian parliament must appoint a new Board of Directors, made up of the president and three vice presidents, after Alva’s year in office, characterized by permanent confrontations with the Executive.
Citizen disapproval on the rise
Congress records a citizen disapproval 79%, according to a survey by the company Ipsos Peru.
“Would you say that you approve or disapprove of the Congress of the Republic? Disapprove: 79%. Approve: 14%. Does not issue an opinion: 7%”, indicates in the study, published by the local newspaper El Comercio.
In a poll last month, disapproval of Peru’s parliament was 75%.
Among the reasons for disapproval, the corruption and the one that “congressmen only care about their personal interests” appears as the highest with 61%, followed by the fact that legislators “are not making laws in favor of the population” with 36%.
At the close of the first year, Congress approved the return to the two-chamber system, with 71 votes in favor, 45 against, and six abstentions.
Since the 87 votes that would give a qualified majority among 130 parliamentarians were not reached, the initiative must be submitted to a referendum which, judging by the polls, will hardly prosper.
