Overview
- Images published by Cuarto Poder show adviser Renzo Basurco proposing to Shirley Orué, confirming a romantic relationship previously denied by Congresswoman Ariana Orué.
- Basurco holds an Asesor II post in Orué’s office with a monthly salary of S/10,000 despite reporting no prior state experience in public records.
- Orué insists the hire complied with congressional rules, says Oficialía Mayor and Human Resources approved it, calls the coverage a smear, and describes the photos as old.
- Podemos Perú leader Arón Espinoza said the party has requested Orué’s descargos and urged the Congress Ethics Commission to invite her to explain the hiring.
- Reporting also cites a 2021 police intervention listing Basurco and Shirley together and a company they formed in July, Africa Producciones Perú S.A.C., which legal experts say raises conflict-of-interest concerns.
