Overview
- Congress’s legal office filed the appeal on October 3, signed by public prosecutor Manuel Eduardo Peña Tavera, before the Second Transitional Constitutional Court of Lima.
- The filing asks a higher court to revoke the judgment and to declare Castillo’s amparo inadmissible or unfounded, arguing legal errors and harm to the Legislature.
- Congress contends that ongoing constitutional accusations against Castillo disqualify him from the benefit under Law No. 26519.
- Judge Alexis Anicama had ordered Congress to grant a lifetime pension effective December 8, 2022, finding a violation of equal treatment and referencing comparable precedents.
- If the appeal is admitted, the case will be sent to a Lima constitutional chamber for evaluation in a virtual hearing with the parties.
