Overview
- Ministers said Sunday that the pedido de facultades is in final internal review and will go to the Council of Ministers this week before being sent to Congress in the following days.
- The draft follows a Constitutional Court ruling and lists the exact laws and articles the executive wants to change, as required by the court.
- The government says the package focuses on cutting bureaucratic steps and adding technology to speed citizen services and does not include the merger or reduction of ministries.
- The request includes proposed legal changes to the National Institute of Civil Defense (Indeci) to allow faster emergency responses after cases such as delayed aid in Junín exposed procedural hold-ups.
- Officials emphasize that the measures will not reduce labor rights, and Congress retains tools such as interpellations to oversee the proposal as it moves through debate.
