Overview
- The Executive formally sent Congress a 120‑day request signed by President Keiko Fujimori and Prime Minister Luis Galarreta that asks for about 66 delegated measures on security, taxes, regulatory simplification, employment and development.
- Six of eight ordinary lower‑house committees issued consultative reports advising against the broad delegation because they say the package lacks the material precision required by Article 104 of the Constitution.
- Three opposition blocs — Juntos por el Perú, Obras and Ahora Nación — formally asked the government to resend a narrowed request limited to security and El Niño response in order to secure quicker, higher‑consensus action.
- The Chamber of Deputies’ Constitution Committee declared itself in permanent session and summoned Defense Minister Rafael Belaunde to explain the request, with the minister scheduled to appear on September 14 to clarify military roles and technical details.
- Officialist senators have publicly suggested the Senate could restore items the lower house excludes, creating a procedural dispute that could force negotiations, slow urgent measures and shape how Congress and the executive share lawmaking power; separately the government asked the Senate to authorize Fujimori’s UN trip from September 21 to 25.
