PERU: Can the return of a senate restore stability?
Peru’s congress approved two constitutional reforms on 6 March, voting to resurrect the senate which has not sat since 1992 and allowing the immediate re-election of legislators. The reforms are likely to prove unpopular with the public, which overwhelmingly rejected them both in a referendum in 2018. Whilst there are some sound technical arguments for a return to a bicameral legislative system, lawmakers’ claims that they are acting solely in the name of national stability has been met with some scepticism given congress’ reputation as a highly corrupt and self-serving institution.
