Congress members Cecilia Chacón and Mauricio Mulder sent a letter to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) in which they expressed their rejection of "the intention to criminalize the policy of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the legal authority".
In the same article, it is stated that, in accordance with the Political Constitution, in its article 93: the members of Congress represent the Nation. They are not subject to an imperative mandate, not to an interpellation. They are not responsible to any authority or court for the opinions and votes they issue in the performance of their duties.
In response, the two parliamentarians declare that "to ignore the content of the Constitution and the statute of the parliamentary function implies a violation of the fundamental rights of the popular representation and that can not be tolerated".
It should be noted that this letter comes in a context in which the political leaders of Fuerza Popular and the Aprista party are involved in judicial investigations relating to the Odebrecht case.
Added to this is the demand of the judiciary asking Parliament to enforce his sentence to five years and six months in prison for the "Gasolinazo" trial against Congressman Edwin Donayre.
