“It’s a slap in the face to poverty,” said Fortunata Palomino, president of the Network of Common Pots of Lima, in dialogue with Radio Exitosa. Furthermore, he questioned the fact that an ordinary person spends S/ 3.60 eating at the soup kitchen, a country father has the advantage of S/190 per day.

Alvarado’s criticism also targeted the congressman Jorge Montoya (popular revival)who made controversial statements.

Accessed this morning by the Sunday report Fourth power who discovered the high cost of food in the Legislative Assembly, Montoya indicated that the cost of food does not reveal a misuse of the money of the State nor a fraud committed by the Congress.

He asked reporters from the aforementioned TV show that if they ate food “third”. “First they don’t care to ask for premium meat and chicken, what do they want to ask? Third? I ask the person and the channel that did the reporting, what are you eating? Food from third class for sure. For them to ask that question and be surprised, I imagine they have to be on that side,” he said.

In this regard, the president of the Red de Ollas Comunes de Lima responded loud and clear to the parliamentarian of Renovación Popular. “What Mr. Montoya said is a great offense. I should go to a nearby common pot one day, in El Agustino, which is close to the Cercado de Lima, so you don’t spend a lot of gas,” he pointed out.

Palomino considered that the legislator of the celestial bench should ask for luxuries, but pay for them “with his salary”. “In the markets they gave us bones, fish heads. (…) These gentlemen (members of Congress) do not represent us. I don’t know what you mean by third-rate food, what we eat in communal pots, so what is it?” he said.
