• Peru Pedro Castillo overcomes the opposition's first check by only six votes

María del Carmen Alva

, president of the Peruvian Congress, faces a motion of censure promoted by the radical sector of Peru Libre (PL) just days after President Pedro Castillo avoided the initiation of an 'impeachment' to remove him from the Presidency.

A new scandal in the troubled political hornet's nest in Peru that, this time, has originated in Spain.

Alva traveled to Madrid last week to meet with Spanish parliamentarians, both in Congress and in the Senate.

In one of those meetings, there was

an attempt to "destabilize" Peru

, according to PL's complaint, confirmed by Podemos deputy

Antón Gómez Reino

.

Speaking to local television, the vice president of the Congressional Foreign Affairs Committee confirmed that

Alva questioned the legitimacy of the

Pedro Castillo government on the eve of the parliamentary procedure against him.

"It is outrageous that a representative and president of Congress comes to my country to leave her own country very bad," stated Gómez Reino.

PL maintains that

the president of Congress violated the separation of powers

and promoted foreign interference in internal affairs.

The radical caucus proposes that the Peruvian ambassador in Madrid,

Eduardo Pérez del Solar

, be called for consultations to explain what happened.

Alva ranks second in the order of presidential succession in the event that Castillo was "vacated" (dismissed), after Vice President

Dina Boluarte

, who also serves as Minister of Inclusion and Social Development.

"We have never seen such a situation, not even with non-democratic countries. Meetings between parliaments always take place in terms of cooperation, collaboration, twinning," commented PSOE deputy

Noemí Villagrasa

, secretary of the Commission. The words of the Spanish parliamentarian are part of an audio broadcast by the Peruvian media 'Hildebrandt en sus Trece', in which it is assured that

Alva intended to obtain a statement from the Spanish Parliament

in which he made sure that Castillo has no legitimacy and that Peru it has fallen under the clutches of communism.

Alva is a member of Acción Popular (AP), which supported President Castillo in Tuesday's vote. His party is not part of the most radical opposition either, with

Keiko Fujimori

at the head, who first tried to accuse the winner of electoral sabotage, without providing evidence, and then unsuccessfully pushed the impeachment attempt.

"The story that is built in the magazine is totally false,"

replied the legislative president, who has the support of a Spanish VOX deputy

Víctor González Coello

who affirms that Alva's words "were cordial and polite."

Even, added the congressman, the president's entourage assured that they gave their confidence to Castillo's cabinet despite the fact that they did not like the proximity to the Shining Path or the criminal record of some of the ministers.

Alva's trip to Spain was the most bumpy, as she was forced to carry out a test to rule out Covid-19, after the positive one announced by the president of the Spanish Senate,

Ander Gil

.
