The president of the Peruvian Judiciary, Elvia Barrios Alvarado, has issued an invitation this Saturday for President Pedro Castillo and the head of Congress, José Williams, to meet this Sunday in a Council of State to adopt decisions that «guarantee the democratic governance» of the country, according to a press release.
Specifically, Barrios Alvarado hopes that talks can be held «based on inter-institutional dialogue» within the framework of the Constitution, after Castillo has renewed again the Council of Ministers following a loss of confidence by the House.
The meeting of the body has been set for 12.00 noon on Sunday and is a meeting of the high officials of the three Peruvian powers, which usually aims to address urgent issues for the country. In addition, the Attorney General and the President of the Constitutional Court also frequently participate, according to ‘La República’.
The refusal of the Congress to support the proposal of the now former Prime Minister Aníbal Torres to reform the law on referendum calls, with which the Executive intended to repeal Law 31399, a rule that since the beginning of 2022 hinders the call for a popular vote, generated the renewal of the group of ministers.
