Overview

  • The Primera Sala Constitucional de Lima on Nov. 10 denied the electoral authority’s request to suspend the court-ordered processing of Unidad Popular’s registration.
  • Judges held that the Constitutional Court’s precautionary measure does not block continued review of the file because it applies only to previously issued resolutions.
  • The panel reaffirmed constitutional protections for judicial independence and said no other state body may intervene in jurisdictional decisions.
  • The court dismissed the JNE procurator’s claims of interpretive error and lack of motivation in the prior ruling.
  • The JNE has filed a criminal complaint against the chamber’s judges for alleged disobedience and resistance to authority, a move criticized by the JUSDEM judges’ association as undermining judicial independence.
