Overview
- Congress’s Permanent Commission is slated to take up the final report at 9 a.m. Monday in the Sala Grau of the Legislative Palace.
- The report, approved on June 20 by the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations in a 12–3 vote, cites Article 45 of the Constitution and possible violation of Penal Code Article 399.
- The complaint, filed by former lawmakers César Gonzáles and Manuel Merino, alleges unjustified salary increases, late-term appointments to key posts, and omissions of COVID-19 biosecurity protocols during her tenure as congressional president.
- If the commission backs the recommendation, a simple-majority vote would advance a 10-year disqualification that would bar Vásquez from holding or seeking public office.
- Vásquez says she was not formally notified of the hearing and characterizes the process as political persecution aimed at impeding her right to run for Congress.
