“What Congresswoman Juárez has requested is an inhibition because she considers that I have an animosity towards her, something that I totally reject. I am the president of the Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations and today the complaint has been qualified but without ruling on the merits, today it has been qualified to see if that complaint meets the requirements to admit, according to the Article 89 of the Regulations of Congress”, he declared to Infobae.

The former member of Alianza Para el Progreso (APP) pointed out days ago through her Twitter account that Camones has a rejection of her person. “I have accepted all the investigations, I only ask for impartiality and objectivity, that the president of the SAC, who has publicly shown her animosity towards me, be inhibited in this case. What objectivity could you expect there?” Heidy Juárez wrote.

“I am not the one who has filed the complaint, I am not going to take charge of the investigation because I am president and in the face of complaints I do not take charge of the investigations. These cases are delegated to the congressmen who form the subcommittee and after the investigation they formulate a final report that is supported, debated and voted on. It is not that Lady Camones has to vote to see if she has indications of having committed these crimes or not. It’s not Lady Camones, it’s the referee. The 24 members of the Sub-Commission,” she added.

In addition, he maintained that it is not possible to inhibit himself because he does not have a “direct interest in what is going to happen to her.” [Heidy Juárez]”.

According to the president of the SAC, Juárez must support his defense before the Subcommittee.

For legislator Lady Camones, all of Juárez Calle’s accusations against her are strategies to defend herself in the “Mocha salaries” case. “I understand that they are strategies, I don’t know if they are valid or not, but they are strategies. Everyone knows how they defend themselves. I take it as a strategy that he is using to defend himself against the accusations that are being made about a possible salary cut, “Lady Camones told this medium.

In communication with this medium, the former president of Congress denied these statements and specified that all the stages that the accused will have to face will have a legislative and not a personal cut.

“The defense that is at the time of the investigation. And she’s not going to do it to me, she’s going to have to defend herself to the entire Sub-Commission, not to Lady Camones. I circumstantially, morally, only president. But the defense is before all the members of the Subcommittee, ”she said.

The Subcommittee on Constitutional Accusations, led by legislator Lady Camones, approved the processing of the complaint against Heidy Juárez for the “Mocha salaries” case. This decision was made after the complaint of four of her workers who accused her of cutting her salaries as Parliament workers came to light.
