The executive branch, reportedly at the request of Keiko Fujimori, has presented Congress with a package of 66 legislative powers to be granted for a period of 120 days. The proposed powers cover a wide range of issues, including security, terrorism, employment, interest rates, mining, tourism, water management (specifically SEDAPAL), and even the potential repeal of the Professional College of Artists. Congress now faces the decision of how much of this extensive authority to delegate to the government. The request signals a significant push for executive control over lawmaking. This move has sparked debate about the balance of power within the Peruvian government. The implications of granting such broad powers are currently under scrutiny. The source, Lima Gris, first reported the development.
