Digna Calle resigns Second Vice Presidency of Congress due to the blocking of the early elections (Spanish)

The Congress Member of Podemos Peru Digna Calle Lobatón also announced that she will request a license without pay to legislate "without charging a sol."


The Congress Member of Podemos Peru Digna Calle irrevocably resigned from the Second Vice Presidency of the Board of Directors of Congress because of the Constitution Commission archiving the project of President Dina Boluarte on the advancement of general elections for October 2023.

In a video broadcast on her social networks, Calle Lobatón maintained that Congress and President Dina Boluarte "do not want to take responsibility for the crisis facing the country" and recalled that Parliament has developed "4 sessions, 11 votes and 20 hours of debate without necessary consensus".

"It's clear, they don't want to leave, they don't want to give up their salaries or privileges. Since April 2022, 9 months ago, I presented the 'We're all leaving' bill to advance the elections to 2023. ...without finding any answer," she said.

For this reason, Calle Lobatón resigned from her position on the Board of Directors chaired by José Williams with the support of his Podemos Perú bench. She also announced that she will request her license without pay, as dhe did previously with other parliamentary benefits, so she will continue to legislate "without charging a sol to the State."

"I resign with the hope that the Board of Directors will be recomposed, and a truly democratic and representative formula will be established. From the democratic center we believe that a new Board of Directors can be the door for President Dina Boluarte to resign and call the 2023 General Elections. Dear country, here there is a provincial woman of principles who resigns listening to the people and without minimizing it," added Calle in the video posted on her social networks.

Only Two Grades of Gasoline to be Sold in Peru as of January 1, 2023 (original) The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) reported that only two grades gasoline, regular (91 octane) and premium (97 octane), will be sold at the country's taps. Minister of Energy and Mines Oscar Vera Gargurevich clarified that this measure will not affect the increase in fuel prices. Only two types of gasoline will be marketed in Peru from January 2023. MINEM reported that simplification will not increase prices and will be implemented gradually. As of January 1, 2023, the adaptation process for the sale of regular and premium gasoline and gasohol (‘gasoholes’) in Peru will begin. This is within the framework of a simplification process that seeks to promote the Ministry. In this way, gasoline and gasohol of 84, 90, 95, 97 and 98 octanes will give way to only two fuels (91 and 97 octane) that are more efficient and with less sulfur load at a national level in line with what happens in other countries ...
