Overview
- The Superior Court of Moquegua ordered the immediate suspension on Saturday of any promulgation, signature, ministerial refrendo or remittance to the official gazette for the autógrafa derived from Project of Law 11658, and said the pause stays in force until the amparo is finally resolved.
- The court’s order explicitly binds the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and Congress to comply with the suspension and warns that officials who fail to obey face legal consequences.
- The measure follows a precautelar admitted by the court after the procurador público of the Gobierno Regional de Moquegua filed an amparo challenging the law’s effects on regional territory and rights.
- The resolution sets a penalty of ten unidades de referencia procesal for noncompliance and requires copies be sent to the Ministerio Público for possible further action.
- The decision arrives days after the Executive returned observations on the autógrafa and has prompted Moquegua’s governor to propose a strictly technical mesa de diálogo with Tacna while the judicial process proceeds; the autógrafa must be promulgated and published in El Peruano to take effect so the suspension prevents the law from entering into force for now.
