The Constitutional Court (TC) rejected the jurisdiction claim that the Congress had presented against the Judiciary after this last institution restored Inés Tello and Aldo Vásquez. Judges Hernández Chávez, Morales Saravia and Gutiérrez Ticse abandoned the debate after failing to impose a presentation in favor of Congress, while judges Pacheco Zerga, Domínguez Haro, Monteagudo Valdez and Ochoa Cardich spoke in favor of the Judiciary.
Since the minimum votes of five were not reached to declare a jurisdictional claim founded, it was rejected. With the law approved in Congress, which is reduced to four votes, there would be a ruling against it; However, the rule has not yet come into force since it would need to be sent to the Executive and, if it is not observed, promulgated.
Constitutionalist Omar Cairo described the TC’s decision as “comforting.” “The highest body of constitutional justice in the country has demonstrated independence and complete remoteness with the regrettable modification of the Constitutional Procedural Code carried out by Congress. The failure of the prolonged parliamentary attempt to seize their positions from Inés Tello and Aldo Vásquez is a sign that The recovery of institutions in Peru is still possible,” he expressed.
