Fujimori's security initiatives and legislative push

Overview

In September 2026, the Peruvian government declared 60-day states of emergency in the Ica region, Tumbes, La Libertad, and strategic zones in Lima and Callao to combat rising crime. These measures suspended certain constitutional rights while authorizing the National Police and Armed Forces to maintain order. Concurrently, political tension escalated as lawmakers filed a motion of censure against Interior Minister César Astudillo, citing a surge in lethal violence and the murder of journalist Susy Aponte Polo.

Legislative proceedings faced significant disruption on 15 October when the Senate Constitution Commission suspended debates on delegated powers due to a lack of quorum. This followed a walkout by four opposition parties protesting the inclusion of seven additional points not approved by the Chamber of Deputies. During the session, Commission President Carlos Mesía rejected a motion regarding the Senate’s authority to modify the lower house’s text, prompting Senator Martha Moyano of Fuerza Popular to remark that “being authoritarian is not so bad” to maintain order.

On 25 October, the Senate approved the delegation of legislative powers to the Executive for 90 days, focusing on citizen security and El Niño response. The final text includes 27 specific powers, an increase from the 20 points originally proposed. Analysts noted that the approved measures omitted economic reforms, such as simplifying procedures for micro and small enterprises (mypes), despite high public support.

Concurrently, the government extended the state of emergency in Lima and Callao for 60 days, effective 28 October, via Supreme Decree No. 142-2026-PCM. This extension maintains the suspension of rights regarding movement, assembly, and the inviolability of the home, while establishing a Unified Command between the National Police and the Armed Forces to combat organized crime.
