Overview
- The Lima Judiciary’s Third Constitutional Chamber admitted Espinoza’s amparo for processing, a procedural step that allows a merits review.
- Espinoza seeks to annul the 10-year disqualification imposed by Congress as well as the legislative resolutions approved against her.
- The court stressed that admission does not resolve the case and that a later ruling will address the legality of Congress’s actions.
- Her petition argues Congress exceeded its constitutional powers and violated due process, and claims the sanction even facilitates a criminal accusation.
- A final judgment could nullify the congressional measures and restore Espinoza’s political and functional rights if the court rules in her favor.
