Lawyers will investigate the JNE for the Vizcarra case


In view of the fact that on the same day they received the request to publish the minutes of the debate that allowed the candidacy of Martín Vizcarra, the members of the National Elections Jury Jorge Salas Arenas and Jovián Sanjinez will be investigated by their respective Bar associations.

“The deontological norms are perfectly applicable, this is the Lawyer’s Code of Ethics, because as established in article 3“ (…) The probity and integrity of the lawyer’s conduct, whatever the field in which he or she works It is essential for the proper functioning of the justice system, ”says Jorge Cambero Alva, from the Loreto legal profession, in a letter to the president of the National Board of Deans, Paul Espinoza.

As is known, the journalist Ricardo Uceda revealed that Salas and Sanjinez had changed their criteria regarding the obligation to declare ownership of company shares. They applied it in previous cases, but decided to modify it to fit the position in favor of the former president’s nomination to Congress.

Luis Arce Borja, also a member of the JNE Plenary, asked on February 10 to investigate this complaint, as well as to publish the official records. That same day, the majority rejected their application.

Salas would be submitted to the Ethical Committee of the Arequipa Bar Association, and Sanjinez to that of the Huaura union, where they are affiliated, respectively.
