On May 11, 2022, ten congressmen from the Free Peru parliamentary group announced their resignation due to a disagreement over the election of the new magistrates of the Constitutional Court, without prior discussion.
[1] However, congresswoman and former minister Katy Ugarte contests the resignation after this event, but alludes to a group agreement that had been prepared for a long time, and whose press conference was scheduled for the same day.
[2] On May 14, the ten resigning congressmen, from the "teaching wing" of the Peru Libre party, announced the creation of the "Magisterial Block of National Concertation" group.
Those affected are the third spokesman for the group, Edgar Tello, and 3 other members, Francis Paredes, Paul Gutiérrez, and Lucinda Vásquez.
[5] This presidency of the Education Commission is the main point of divergence between Peru Libre and the teaching wing, since at the beginning of the legislature in July 2021, the presidency of the commission had been granted to the Popular Renewal party, positioned on the right, due to the bad negotiations of the leaders of the Free Peru, Waldemar Cerrón and Guido Bellido.
