In the last days, the Congress once again demonstrated its proclivity to generate indignation among citizens. To the revelations about their expenses and requirements, were added the answers that the parliamentarians left to defend themselves.
In the denunciation of the change of service of the concessionaire of the Congress, from a modest menu to a sophisticated and expensive buffet, there were those who said they did not remember or those who minimized everything.
For this reason, faced with justifications that bordered on impudence, the president of the Red de Ollas Comunes, Fortunata Palomino, described it as an offense that Jorge Montoya he will make fun of the fact that in Congress they want to serve him “third-class food.” “This gentleman should eat as he produces. They don’t do anything, they just sit down, have their lunch, his coffee. While Peru is abandoned, ”he said.
In the Executive they also called on the congressmen to correct and not have more privileges. The Minister of Development and Social Inclusion asked them to be more sensitive and to be “in tune with the situation.”
from the same LegislativeThey have already requested that information be sent on the contracting of the concessionaire and the attentions in the ‘events’, as they now call the plenary sessions.

Something similar was answered by those who reported year-end trips as if they were for work; but no one was as bold as Juan Lizarzaburu, as reported by El Foco. He used tickets and per diem from Congress to visit his family in Spain. And, although he spent more than S / 200,000, he says that everything is in order. As he reads it.
