Renovación Popular proposes limits on Keiko Fujimori’s legislative powers

Deputies Roxana Rocha and Frank Krklec of the Renovación Popular party have submitted a substitute text to the Constitutional Commission regarding the legislative powers requested by President Keiko Fujimori’s government.

The original request sought a 120-day delegation of legislative authority across various sectors. The Renovación Popular proposal aims to strictly delimit these powers to four specific axes: fighting citizen insecurity, disaster risk management and prevention of the El Niño phenomenon, economic reactivation and job creation, and the modernization and simplification of state management.

The deputies emphasized that the initiative is intended to prevent the granting of broad or open-ended powers to the Executive branch. They have requested that the Commission of Constitution, Regulation, and Foreign Relations debate this substitute text before proceeding with the final report on the matter.
