Keiko Fujimori celebrates the approval of bicameralism in Peru: "A great triumph of democratic dialogue"

The leader of Fuerza Popular, Keiko Fujimori, expressed satisfaction after the approval in the second vote of bicameralism in the Congress of the Republic. She believes that this measure will provide the country with greater maturity and political stability, in a context marked by a constitutional reform that seeks to strengthen the Peruvian legislative system. On Wednesday, March 6, the proposal to establish a Legislative Branch with senators and deputies, as well as to allow parliamentary reelection, received majority support with 91 votes in favor, 4 against, and 1 abstention. This constitutional change, which had been approved in the first vote last November, was supported not only by Fuerza Popular but also by other groups such as Alianza Para el Progreso, Avanza País, Renovación Popular, Podemos Perú, and the Bloque Magisterial. "Although fujimorismo has always had a historical stance in favor of unicameralism, it is essential to be up to the changes and evolution that our country requires," Keiko Fujimori expressed on social media. The leader of Fuerza Popular highlighted the consensus reached in Congress and described it as a "great triumph of democratic dialogue." Following the approval in Congress, the bill establishing bicameralism will be sent to the Executive Branch for promulgation. With this constitutional amendment, the next Congress will be composed of 130 deputies and 60 senators, aiming to strengthen the representativeness and balance of powers in the Peruvian legislative system. This significant step in constitutional reform avoids the need for the proposal to be submitted to a referendum, as it has reached the minimum of 87 votes required for ratification. With bicameralism approved, it is expected that the country will move towards greater political stability and a more solid and representative legislative system.
