Overview
- The session is scheduled for 4:00 p.m. local time in the Francisco Bolognesi room under a hybrid format led by committee chair Elvis Vergara.
- The complaint was opened ex officio to assess an alleged ethical breach after Kira Alcarraz reportedly threatened reporter Marycielo Del Castillo during questioning about an alleged irregular hire in her office.
- Reports say Alcarraz told the journalist she would “slam” her against a wall and remarked that the reporter “is still alive,” comments that spurred press freedom concerns.
- Committee member Auristela Obando said that any sanction decided in relation to the threat could be applied immediately.
- The agenda also includes qualification resolutions involving Ruth Luque, Jaime Quito and Wilson Quispe, and proposed outright rejections of complaints against Patricia Chirinos and Norma Yarrow.
