Overview
- The Congressional Ethics Commission voted 7–1 with one abstention to admit a complaint against Lucinda Vásquez and begin an investigation.
- Cuarto Poder’s report showed advisers performing tasks such as giving a pedicure and preparing food, alongside claims of nepotistic hiring and salary cuts framed as unrepaid loans.
- Vásquez appeared before the commission and requested due process, arguing the images are from last year and do not constitute ethical flagrancy.
- A five‑minute video of Kira Alcarraz threatening a journalist was screened, but a 3–1 vote with five abstentions blocked admission of that case, which will return in a later session.
- Both legislators will be summoned to present their defenses, and potential penalties under congressional rules can reach up to 120 days of suspension without pay.
