The legislator Paloma Noceda denounced that she was a victim of sexual aggression by a colleague of the Parliament, during the 120-day suspension debate of the Fujimorist Moisés Mamani, accused of improperly touching a flight attendant.
Paloma Noceda said that, on her first day in Congress, a colleague assaulted her with a comment and lacked respect .
"I want to tell a personal experience, the first day I came to Congress (...) I stopped to say hello to two congressmen, one of them says to me: 'It's good that there are people like you here to make me happy about the situation'" , He said.
"At that time I did not know how to react because for that congressman he was giving a great compliment, but in reality that was an offense because here one does not come to brighten the view or the panorama to anyone, here one comes to work as an equal "Added Noceda.
"If a woman arranges herself out of respect for the institution and oneself, but that happened," said the congresswoman, who revealed a second sexual assault, which she described as "disgusting."
"One day I'm in a meeting with colleagues and I was sitting, turning my back, and that colleague comes and makes me a sort of disgusting massage in the neck. The colleague is not here a while ago. That disgusting massage to this day I have it in my mind every time I remember it, because it generated rejection, disgust, vomiting, "said Paloma Noceda.
"That's a day-to-day thing, because here the counselors have a hard time, the assistants have a hard time. Always take advantage when a woman turns her back, there they do the sweep with the look from below up, "he explained.
"That person who did this act, I made a turn, I nudged him, and the guy, like a thief in the open, started talking to me, reckless, anything, incoherent. It was not once, he tried to do it a second time at another meeting. Then I spoke with the spokesman who represented me at that time and asked him to talk to that guy, because for me he is a little guy and does not deserve to be called a congressman, "he added.
In that line, Paloma Noceda proposed the impeachment of Fujimorist Moises Mamani and said he believes in the testimony of Mrs. Lana Campos, therefore, asked for an exemplary sanction "because frankly sometimes you do not know what kind of people have come to Parliament" .
