Item type:Publication, Resistencia democrática frente al abuso legislativo: participación ciudadana en la defensa del Estado Constitucional(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-19)Since 2016, Peru has been experiencing a gradual democratic erosion, driven primarily by the abusive power of the Parliament, which has resulted in legislative authoritarianism since 2022. From that point onward, the constitutional framework has been undermined, and laws have been enacted that violate fundamental rights and the most basic principles of the constitutional Rule of Law. Far from proposing solutions contrary to constitutional democracy –typical of populism and autocrats– the author argues in this article that the most legitimate and effective way to confront this threat lies within the institutional framework itself, specifically through the mechanisms of citizen participation provided for in the Peruvian Constitution. Therefore, what is proposed is the practical implementation of political and participatory rights so that citizens can develop a strong democratic resistance, particularly through the use of legislative initiative in its passive dimension or, failing that, through the abrogative referendum to remove unconstitutional regulations approved by Congress from the legal system.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Debates sobre bicameralidad: perspectivas y retos(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2025-12-19)This round table discussion examines the return to bicameralism, a reform that has raised new doubts regarding its viability. Although Peru was governed under this system in the past, the main current criticism lies in the fact that this measure was approved despite its rejection by the population in a referendum, which seriously compromises its legitimacy. The authors agree that this change is risky: it alters the balance of powers in favor of the Parliament, increases public spending, and does not ensure faster processes. Ultimately, this reform does not resolve the main problem: Parliament’s lack of representation, a debate from which the reader may draw their own conclusions.1
