Overview
- The 33-page proposal was presented by Deputy Catherin Palomino of Juntos por el Perú on Monday and is titled 'Law that repeals various legislative reforms that have generated normative setbacks in the fight against organized crime.'
- Palomino says the bill seeks to annul seven recent norms that she argues weakened investigation and prosecution of organized crime, including a law that moved certain police and military function crimes into military-police courts.
- The sponsor framed the move as a response to citizen demand and accused the previous Congress of passing what she called 'pro-crime' laws that reduced prosecutors' powers.
- The bill has been formally submitted for internal processing and now awaits referral to committees, committee review, debate, and floor votes, with no votes yet recorded.
- Palomino also announced a separate planned proposal to cut congressional pay to about S/8,000 and remove bonuses, a step that could intensify political debate over security policy and institutional jurisdiction if the repeal advances.
