Item type:Publication, Tribunal Constitucional del Perú y conflicto de poderes(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-05-23)In Peru, the Constitutional Court has jurisdiction to resolve unconstitutionality and conflicts processes in a single instance, and must do so through the interpretation of constitutional norms, as it is the highest body of control and interpretation of the Constitution. This research analyzes the position assumed by the Court in the face of conflicts between Congress and the Executive Power during the unstable political period 2016-2021. In the control of the laws and the modifications to the Rules of Congress approved by the parliamentary majorities elected in 2016 and 2020, the dissolution of Congress decreed on September 30, 2019 by the Executive and the vote of confidence, established important guidelines of constitutional interpretation; however, this did not occur in matters such as the control of the presidential vacancy due to permanent moral incapacity, the extraordinary emergency decrees issued by the Government while the dissolution of Congress lasted and the rules incorporated in the New Constitutional Procedural Code on votes in the Court for the resolution of constitutional processes.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Peru in 2023: From polarization to the conservative and populist coalition during the government of Dina Boluarte(Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, 2024-08-01)2023 was a very particular and significant year in Peru. It was the year of Dina Boluarte’s government, who, as vice president, succeeded the ousted Pedro Castillo at the end of 2022 to complete the 2021-2026 presidential term. Remarkably, given the experience of Castillo’s government, the circumstances of his impeachment by Congress, and the characteristics of Peruvian political dynamics post-2016, the expected scenario was the continuation of a dynamic of polarization and political and social confrontation. Unexpectedly, we witnessed the formation at the heights of institutional politics of a majority that crosses right-wing and left-wing groups, centered around conservative and populist values opposed to various institutional reform initiatives implemented in recent years, accompanied by relative citi-zen demobilization. Although this seriously delegitimized the government and Congress, the absence of viable short-term alternatives generated relative stability. The problematic aspect is that Peru’s fragile democracy seems to be captured “from below” by various local leaders and particularistic interests, a consequence of the extreme weakness of political parties, constituting a peculiar and dangerous path of democratic deterioration.
