Overview
- Congress’s Ethics Commission approved a preliminary investigation into the lawmaker over the alleged public exposure of minors from the La Casa del Padre shelter she founded.
- The outcome was suspended after Congresswoman Janet Rivas filed a reconsideration, requiring a new vote at the commission’s next session.
- Commission chair Elvis Vergara cited vote-count confusion and technical problems during the virtual meeting as the reasons for the reconsideration.
- Milagros Jáuregui denies direct control of the shelter in recent years and says the questioned images were posted by the institution’s accounts, not her official channels.
- Her party, Renovación Popular, publicly distanced itself from her actions, while critics highlight concerns about the shelter’s approach and the risk of re‑victimizing minors.
