Luz Filomena Salgado Rubianes de Paredes (born 3 July 1949) is a Peruvian Fujimorist politician and journalist who served as President of the Congress thrice,from 2016 to 2017 as a full-term and twice briefly in 2000 in an acting capacity.
Luz Salgado studied communication sciences at the Universidad San Martín de Porres. She studied additionally for a master's degree in the Center for Higher National Studies.
In aftermath of Alberto Fujimori's self-coup on April 5,1992,Luz Salgado was elected as a member of the Democratic Constitutional Congress,which wrote a new constitution during the Peruvian Constitutional Crisis of 1992. During this period she worked closely with de facto Intelligence Chief Vladimiro Montesinos.
In the 1990 elections,Salgado ran for deputy for the Lima constituency under the Cambio 90 party,but she was not elected. Five years later in the 1995 elections,Salgado was elected to Congress under the Cambio 90-New Majority list. In the 2000 elections,she was re-elected on the Peru 2000 list and again in the 2001 elections under the Cambio 90-New Majority list but in August 2001,she was suspended from Congress.
In the 2011 general election,after a ten-year absence,she was elected to the Congress on the Fuerza 2011 list,representing Lima for the 2011–2016 term and in the 2016 elections on the Fuerza Popular list,for the 2016–2021 term,but her term was cut short by the dissolution of Congress by Martín Vizcarra in September 2019. At the time of her retirement,Salgado held the fifth position in seniority in the Congress of the Republic,with 17 years as a member of Congress in six non-consecutive terms. [1]
Cambio 90 was a Peruvian right-wing political party which entered the political spectrum in early 1990,and throughout the 1990s until late-2000 was the most powerful political party in Peru alongside New Majority,serving more as an instrumental electoral vehicle for Alberto Fujimori.
The Congress of the Republic of Peru is the unicameral body that assumes legislative power in Peru. Due to broadly interpreted impeachment wording in the Constitution of Peru,the President of Peru can be removed by Congress without cause,effectively making the legislature more powerful than the executive branch. Following a ruling in February 2023 by the Constitutional Court of Peru,the body tasked with interpreting the Constitution of Peru and whose members are directly chosen by Congress,judicial oversight of the legislative body was also removed by the court,essentially giving Congress absolute control of Peru's government. Since the 2021 Peruvian general election,right wing parties held a majority in the legislature. The largest represented leftist party in Congress,Free Peru,has subsequently aligned itself with conservative and Fujimorists parties within Congress due to their institutional power.
