Overview
- The Permanent Commission did not debate the constitutional complaint against Senate candidate Mirtha Vásquez despite its placement as the first item on Monday’s published agenda.
- Congress’s official X account had previously announced the case would be taken up on December 29, creating contradictory messages about the schedule.
- President of Congress Fernando Rospigliosi said the inclusion was an error and noted he had stated on December 17 that the presentation would be rescheduled once to ensure due process.
- The complaint cites alleged violations of Article 45 and a possible offense of incompatible negotiation, and the final report recommends a 10‑year disqualification from public office.
- Ahora Nación, the party backing Vásquez, alleges the process is being used to sideline a rival ahead of the 2026 elections, while the report’s evaluation now moves to the next legislative period.
