Overview
- As of Friday, September 11, twelve deputy committees have issued opinions and 52 deputies in committee votes have rejected the executive request but the lower house still needs 65 votes in a full plenary to block the delegation.
- Two committees — Environment and Defense — issued favorable opinions and several parties showed internal splits when individual deputies broke with their blocs.
- Leaders of Juntos por el Perú, Ahora Nación and Obras formally asked Prime Minister Luis Galarreta for a new, narrowed request limited to security and disaster risk management including El Niño.
- Legal and procedural questions are escalating as experts and senators note the Senate can review or modify what deputies approve and Senator Jacques Rodrich will ask the Senate Constitution Committee for a formal opinion on how far those changes can go.
- Key remaining committee votes, including Economy, will shape the outcome and determine whether urgent measures on crime and disaster response move quickly by decree or remain subject to prolonged bicameral bargaining and later parliamentary review.
