LIMA - Peru's Congress ignored a judicial ruling on
Wednesday and continued with the questioned election of new magistrates to the
Constitutional Court, raising the tension in a country that has been waiting
for more than a month to know who will be its new president.
The decision of the parliament, dominated by a dozen
populist benches and whose mandate expires in three more weeks, led the
Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to express its
"concern" about the lack of transparency in the process.
"An inadequate process for the selection and
designation of justice operators endangers their independence," the IACHR,
an autonomous entity of the OAS, warned on Twitter, joining the voices calling
for the new Congress to be elected in the elections of 11 May. April, whoever
chooses the magistrates in a transparent process.
