TV investigative journalist Nuria Piera presented more details of the complicated drama behind the would-be double identity of Santiago deputy for the Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), Luis Rene Fernandez Tavarez.
After her investigative journalism show aired on Saturday, 26 June 2021 on Channel 9, the deputy prepared a video where he says he has nothing to hide. He explains he was registered as Luis Rene Fernandez Tavarez by his father. As reported by Piera, Luis Rene already had an ID as Luis Rene Guzmán Fernández when he was issued the second birth certificate.
The journalist says she has received documents that indicate that the family story of migratory fraud began when a sister of the today congressman, Gladys Yolory Guzmán Fernández, went to the United States as a minor at the request of Agustín Antonio Peña Fernández, first cousin of her father. Peña Fernández would declare the child as his daughter and changed her name to Gladys Yolory Peña Guzmán.
The update on N Digital explains that years later, the congressman’s sister would return to the country and marry her biological father, Luis María Guzmán Peña, who took the identity of a deceased brother-in-law, José Félix Fernández Gómez.
Then Gladys Yolory Guzman Fernandez, under the identity of Gladys Yolory Peña Guzman, petitioned for her father-husband so he could move to the United States.
On the other hand, the deputy’s mother, Beatriz del Carmen Fernández Gómez, took the identity of her deceased cousin, Miledy Antonia Tavárez Gómez.
Meanwhile, the director of the electoral division of the ruling Modern Revolutionary Party (PRM), Arsenio Devárez told N Digital that the party would seek the annulment of the deputy seat given the conflicting situation.
