Overview

  • The committee is set to meet at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 3, to determine whether to admit the complaint and start a probe.
  • The review follows Cuarto Poder footage showing advisers doing domestic tasks in her congressional office, including cutting her toenails and cooking.
  • Members moved to consider the case ex officio after the broadcasts raised concerns about potential misuse of state-paid staff.
  • Vásquez denies irregularities, calling the report a revenge by former employees and saying the videos were taken out of context.
  • Adviser Edward Rengifo Pezo defends his conduct as humanitarian and claims she is seriously ill, while the agenda also includes a separate file on alleged salary cuts to former staff (File No. 216-2024-2025/CEP-CR).
