El pleno del Congreso empezó a abordar ayer el informe final que recomienda acusar al expresidente Martín Vizcarra por los delitos de organización criminal y otros, a propósito del caso conocido como ‘Vacunagate’. Sin embargo, el tema no llegó a debatirse ni a someterse a votación al solicitarse un cuarto intermedio, quedando aún en suspenso. La sesión continuará este jueves.
The Peruvian Congress is considering accusing former President Martín Vizcarra of criminal organization and other crimes related to the "Vacunagate" scandal, involving irregular acquisition of COVID-19 vaccines. The debate and vote on the accusation have been suspended after a recess was requested. Vizcarra, who already faces two prior Congressional disqualifications, declined to attend the proceedings, waiving his right to immunity and requesting the Public Ministry investigate the charges without political bias. The accusation alleges Vizcarra led a criminal organization that illegally acquired vaccines for personal and political gain, falsifying his vaccination card to appear as a trial volunteer.
