“The parliamentarians in the exercise of their functions can express, defend and promote ideological, programmatic and party positions without this constituting an infraction to the duty of impartiality or neutrality,” says the text signed by the president of the Constitution Commission, Arturo Alegría.
This text also clarified that legislators could not do political proselytism at the schedules in which the sessions of the parliamentary or plenary commissions were developed, unless previously asked for a license without enjoyment.
Although the proposal had the support of the Popular Force Banks, Alliance for Progress, We are Peru and Honor and Democracy, it only managed to obtain 52 of the 66 votes, which needed to be approved.
On the other hand, the benches together for Peru – Voices of the People – Magisterial Block, the Socialist Bank and the Popular Democratic Block were opposed.
On April 25, President Dina Boluarte issued Supreme Decree 054-2025-PCM in which, among other things, it prohibits public officials from propagating political organizations or candidacies.
After the legislative proposal was not approved, the second Montalvo congressman of the Peru Free Bank requested the reconsideration of the president of Congress, José Jerí, in order that the text prepared by the Constitution Commission will be voted again by the Plenary.
