Chamber of Deputies delegates 90-day legislative powers to Fujimori government on security and El Niño

After a session of more than 12 hours, two earlier rejections and a reconsideration, the Chamber of Deputies approved delegating legislative powers by 66 votes to 34 with 24 abstentions. The powers run 90 days and cover two areas: security (extortion, hired killings, organized crime, cybercrime) and El Niño response (emergencies, humanitarian aid, agriculture, infrastructure, housing, water). The Government had requested eight areas; Prime Minister Luis Galarreta criticized the omission of key tools such as Armed Forces support in citizen security. The text still requires Senate approval.
