Request for extraordinary powers to Congress
The ministerial cabinet asked Congress for extraordinary powers to legislate on pacification, reorganization of the State, private investment and promotion of employment. This request was made in a context of increasing political violence and conflict between branches of government.
The ministerial cabinet appeared before the Congress of the Republic to request that extraordinary powers be granted to the Executive Branch. These powers were to legislate in four specific areas: national pacification, reorganization of the State, private investment and promotion of employment. This request was framed in a context of intensified political violence and tensions between the Executive and the Legislature. Congress subsequently granted these powers, which were used by Fujimori's government to issue 126 legislative decrees in November of the same year.
