The Vice-President of the Republic and Minister of Development and Social Inclusion , Dina Boluarte, spoke in the morning through her official account of Twitter on the rejection in Congress of the presidential vacancy motion against President Pedro Castillo. In his message, he pointed out that “the vacancy agenda” cannot affect political stability any more.

He added that there is a new opportunity for the opposition and the Government to work together to end national interests.

VACANCY DOES NOT CONTINUE

The Plenary Assembly of the Congress of the Republic rejected the second motion for presidential vacancy against Pedro Castillo, submitted by a group of opposition benches. The motion won 55 votes in favor, 54 against and 19 abstentions. In this way, the proposal went to the archive, as specified by the president of the Legislative, María del Carmen Alva. The vote took place after five hours of parliamentary debate and before that the president presented himself with his lawyer.

In order for the vacancy to have materialized, according to article 113 of the Constitution, a qualified vote of not less than 2/3 of the legal number of members of Congress was required. In other words, if all 130 legislators were present at the session, 87 votes would be needed to remove Castillo from office.

Earlier, President Castillo appeared before the national representation to respond to that motion. During his speech, he asked the plenary of Congress to vote for democracy and against instability, in addition, he said that this resource lacked sustainable resources.

He then traveled to Puerto Bermudez, in Cerro de Pasco, where he called for putting aside confrontation and attacking a common enemy such as inequality, poverty and indifference.

VIVIAN OLIVOS'S POSTER AGAINST PEDRO CASTILLO

Boluarte also raised her voice in protest at the behavior of Congresswoman Vivián Olivos, who during the hemicycle hung a sign with the message: vacancy and described what happened as “a lack of respect”.

“The country demands a democratic spirit of us even in the political discrepancy. We reject the impasse that arose in the debate over the vacancy in Congress, following a lack of respect for the presidential inauguration by Fuerza Popular,” Boluarte wrote on his Twitter account.

The Peru-Libre bench was the first to reject this behavior that altered the tranquility in the way the debate on the vacancy motion against Pedro was taking place Castle.

Despite the ruling party's requests for Olivos to withdraw the cartel, the parliamentarian ignored it, which caused some political party legislators to approach her seat, generating turmoil and disorder in the plenary. Given this, the president of the Congress, María del Carmen Alva, had to suspend the session.

The one who also spoke to this was Guillermo Bermejo former Peru Libre. The parliamentarian also used his Twitter account to reject this action.

“That's why they wanted the president to come, to set up their circus and be a global shame. Immoral coup drivers,” wrote the national representative of Democratic Peru on his Twitter account.

In turn, Susel Paredes, a congressman of the Morado Party, also spoke out against the fight of the ruling and opposition benches for the cartel. “Because of these facts, citizens reject congress. A provocative opposition and a governing party that falls into provocation,” he wrote.
