Eduardo Pachas criticizes María del Carmen Alva for 'limiting' president's opinion: “It has no legal basis”

Following the approval of the debate on the vacancy motion against the president, Pedro Castillo, Eduardo Pachas, criticized the work sent by the president of the Congress, María del Carmen Alva, who invokes the president to advance the topics of his speech to the plenary and asks not to refer to the vacancy motion.

“The President of Congress is pointing out that the President of the Republic has to talk about messages where the issue of vacancy is not considered. That is not in the law and it has no legal basis and there is no precedent that the presidents of the Republic have been limited in the right to have an opinion, to address the country,” he said.

The president's legal defense also held that, if Castillo's message is to be limited to the country, then it should be understood that the president of Congress would be 'cutting' Peruvians' right to opinion and the right to inform the truth.

“This has no legal basis on the part of the president of the Congress of the Republic,” insisted Eduardo Pachas.

REQUESTS BY MARIA DEL CARMEN ALVA

In the document that the Legislature sent to the Executive to announce the agreements of the meeting of spokespersons regarding the president's request to give a message to Congress, María del Carmen Alva, who signs the letter, asks the president to report on the issues to be addressed and invokes him not to refer to issues related to the presidential vacancy motion against him.

“In view of the history of the President of the Republic's attendance in Congress, he asked him to inform in advance the issues he will deal with in his message,” the document states

“Likewise, considering that a motion proposing the vacancy of the Presidency of the Republic is pending , I invoke you,

petuously, not to refer to matters contained in that proposition”, he adds.

CASTILLO WILL ATTEND THE

At another time, the Board of Spokespersons agreed to accede to President Pedro Castillo's request to attend the plenary session of the Congress on Tuesday to provide a message and will receive it at 05:00pm, reported the head of Parliament, María del Carmen Alva.

“The congressmen attended the plenary session and the first thing they did is to approve my presence tomorrow. I asked for it to be at 9 in the morning, but I will be respecting the schedule set by Congress,” said the Head of State from the native community of Nauta, in the San Martín region, where he arrived to start the 2022 School Year.

A few hours later, María del Carmen Alva notified President Pedro Castillo by means of a letter that it was agreed to receive him at the session of the plenary session on Tuesday in order to convey a message to the national representation. In addition, the head of the Presiding Officers asked the president to “inform in advance the issues that his message will deal with” and invoked him to “not refer” to the presidential vacancy motion.

WHAT WILL CASTILLO TALK ABOUT?

For his part, this Monday, Pedro Castillo also referred to the approval of the vacancy motion by the Congress of the Republic, which will take place on 28 March, and said that tomorrow he would talk about what has been done in his administration and what he seeks to do.

“Tomorrow I will be in Parliament, in the first power of the State, to tell you why we came to this country, and what we are going to do for this country,” he said. He added: “I am sorry that at the same time the people continue to be tripped and the people are not heard because they have just approved the vacancy motion with something of 54 votes,” he said.

Castillo added that they have to tell the country that they haven't gotten to steal a penny. And they will say that tomorrow in Parliament. “Nothing distracts us, because he who owes nothing fears anything. Do you think that stealing a penny from the country is going to come and wait for me?” .
