Julián Palacín Gutiérrez, president of Indecopi, said that three congressmen with conflicts of interest, one of them due to the case of the Construction Cartel, seek to convert the institute into a National Autonomous Organization (OCA) to rid the companies involved from the investigation on going. Is about Adriana Tudela placeholder image, Patricia Juarez and Gladys Echaíz, members of the Constitutional Commission of Congress.
The Prediction relapsed in bills 0193/2021-CR, 555/2021-CR and 656/2021-CR, Constitutional reform law that elevates Indecopi as OCA (hereinafter, Onadecopi), proposes the appointment of a Board of Directors for the body in which the President of the Republic and the Ministers of State do not participate. Currently, the position of holder of Indecopi is trusted and depends on the PCM.
“The constitutional principle of separation of powers, provided in Article 43 and the Fourth Title of the State Structure of the Political Constitution of Peru, is being violated. This prediction aggravates the underlying problem of our institution, which are revolving doors and conflicts of interest, ”the statement said.
According to Indecopi, Adriana Tudela placeholder image, a congressman from Avanza País and author of PL 0193/2021-CR, held meetings in her office with representatives of the construction companies OHL and TP SAC, involved in the case of the Construction Cartel and with fines that would amount to S / 10 million 947 thousand 640.
As to Gladys Echaíz, Indecopi maintains that the Alianza para el Progreso congresswoman should have been inhibited from voting on the prediction in controversy, because one of her sons works as a technical secretary in one of the organization’s rooms, currently under scrutiny due to conflicts of interest with sectors of the industry.
“Which implies the absolute nullity of all sessions of the Constitution Commission in which she participated with voice and vote in the debate. This is unacceptable in parliamentary procedure, ”says Palacín Gutiérrez.
In the case of Patricia Juarez, of Fuerza Popular, Indecopi considers that her condition as former president of the High-Level Administrative Disciplinary Processes Commission of the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima (MML), during the management of the now investigated former mayor Luis Castañeda, discredits her participation in reforming to the regulatory body.
“I request the president of the Congress of the Republic (María del Carmen Alva) and the members of the Board of Directors to adopt, within the framework of the powers established by the Regulations of the Congress of the Republic, the necessary measures so that it is thoroughly investigated to the president and secretary of the Constitution and Regulation Commission and the corresponding responsibilities of the law are determined, because the approved prediction contains opinions of external lawyers, which would be biased or linked to the Construction Cartel “, ends the document .
