Peru PM reaches Congress to introduce confidence motion

The projects in question are parliamentary immunity, banning sentenced people from becoming candidates for public office, allowing the population to participate in the selection of candidates at primary elections, removing the preferential vote, guaranteeing the political participation of women —by relying on parity and alternation—, and prohibiting dirty money from entering the political campaigns.

President Martin Vizcarra on Wednesday called on lawmakers to approve the bills without violating their essence.

Likewise, he urged Congress to reconsider its decision to close the file on the constitutional complaint against ex-Attorney General Pedro Chavarry.
