Posso spoke out when the President proposed that the National Assembly might be responsible for the countries state of affairs in 2024. The Minister of the Interior, Mónica Palencia, was facing impeachment over her role in the arrest of a disgraced politician inside the Mexican Embassy. Posso noted that the law was being used to control politicians but ministers must face that this was necessary as the executive must "be accountable to the Plenary". She lauded the State Attorney General, Diana Salazar, who has not rejected the impeachment moves against her.{{Cite web |date=2024-09-03 |title=Lucía Posso: El Gobierno quiere echar la culpa de todos los problemas a la Asamblea |url=https://www.teleamazonas.com/lucia-posso-juicios-politicos-asamblea/ |access-date=2024-09-05 |website=Teleamazonas |language=es}} On 3 September the assembly carried a resolution that delayed the impeachment of Palencia.{{Cite web |date=2024-09-04 |title=Mónica Palencia invita a asambleísta Pamela Aguirre hacer historia en la justicia política, procesal y constitucional |url=https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/politica/monica-palencia-pide-a-pamela-aguirre-hacer-historia-en-la-justicia-politica-nota/ |access-date=2024-09-05 |website=El Universo |language=es}}
