Overview
- The commission advanced a combined predictamen by 10–6 with 3 abstentions, with support chiefly from Fuerza Popular, Perú Libre and Alianza Para el Progreso.
- The proposal would modify Law 30916 to let the JNJ designate provisional prosecutors and supernumerary judges and change leadership rules, including a two‑year Supreme Court presidency by seniority and a two‑year fiscal de la Nación elected by the Junta de Fiscales Supremos.
- A Lima constitutional chamber annulled the JNJ’s expedited disciplinary sanction against Luis Arce Córdova for lacking a legal basis under Constitutional Court jurisprudence and ordered his reinstatement as a titular supreme prosecutor.
- The supreme prosecutor seat implicated is currently occupied provisionally by Lourdes Bernardita Téllez Pérez, creating immediate implementation questions for the Ministerio Público and the JNJ.
- The bill now moves forward in Congress, and the JNJ must decide whether to execute the court order or pursue a competential challenge before the Constitutional Court.
