In Peru, left-wing congresswoman Lucinda Vásquez has come under heavy criticism following a video in which she instructs an aide in her parliamentary office to trim her nails. The Speaker of the Congress, Fernando Rospigliosi, described this as a 'disrespect to workers' and called for an ethical review. The actions of Congresswoman Lucinda Vásquez have received extensive coverage in both the local and international press.
Congress Chairman Fernando Rospigliosi labeled the incident as 'unacceptable', calling for an ethics investigation into Representative Lucinda Vásquez. Footage unveiled by local television programs showed left-wing Representative Vásquez lying on a couch in her parliamentary office while one of her aides was seen giving her a foot massage and cutting her nails. It was noted that the scandalous photo was taken on November 6, 2024, but only recently leaked to the public.
It has been alleged that Lucinda Vásquez brought parliamentary staff to her home and had them do her housework and cooking, and it's claimed that she paid them using the state's money.
