Overview
- The Pleno of the Cámara de Diputados is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, October 6 at 10:00 a.m. for a three‑hour debate on the executive's request for delegated legislation, with time shared among the six parliamentary groups.
- The Commission of Constitution approved a majority dictamen on October 1 that would delegate powers to the executive only for security citizenry measures and El Niño prevention and response for 90 calendar days.
- Fuerza Popular filed a competing minority dictamen that would restore many of the government's original requests, propose up to 50 of 66 subjects be delegated, extend the term in some versions to 120 days, and add measures to let the Armed Forces support police and give the National Intelligence Directorate operational capacity.
- The session agenda also includes an interpellation of Education Minister José Antonio Chang with 44 questions and an approved invitation for the prime minister and the interior and defense ministers to report to the Pleno, with their attendance schedule still to be fixed.
- The vote is politically charged because the Pleno can adopt either the commission's majority text or a minority proposal, a choice that would change how Peru authorizes emergency security steps and could alter the use of the military and intelligence services in domestic policing.
