A Senate hearing in Lima was halted after a shouting match between a left-wing senator and Interior Minister César Astudillo on October 10. The committee was reviewing bill 00013-2026-2031-S, which would allow the executive to legislate by decree on citizen security and El Niño.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The debate over executive decree powers relates to how Peru addresses crime and extortion gangs. Peru is a US free-trade partner and a top supplier of copper and gold, and the speed of action against extortion gangs shapes risk for foreign firms, travelers, and investors.
