Peruvian Congresswoman Lady Camones has stated she financed her recent trip to the Vatican and subsequent meeting with Pope Leo XIV using her personal funds. She clarified that no financial support was requested from, or provided by, either the Peruvian Congress or the Executive Branch for the journey. Camones made this declaration to address potential scrutiny regarding the costs associated with international travel for public officials. The meeting with the Pope’s representative occurred recently, but details of the discussion have not been publicly released. This disclosure aims to demonstrate transparency and accountability regarding her participation in the Vatican event. Camones’s decision to self-fund the trip avoids potential conflicts of interest and public criticism.
