Observations on the 1992 Budget Law
On December 31, 1991, the Executive enacted the Annual General Budget Law, making observations to 15 of its 313 articles, in an unprecedented act that created a constitutional crisis. This fact paralyzes the activities of the public sector by creating a legal vacuum not foreseen by the Constitution.
The Executive Branch, in an unprecedented act, promulgates and publishes in the official gazette El Peruano the Annual General Budget Law, making observations to 15 of its 313 articles. This fact creates an unprecedented constitutional crisis by not fully enacting the law sent by Congress. By making these observations, the President creates a legal vacuum not foreseen by the Constitution, paralyzing the activities of the public sector. This event marks a significant point of tension between the Executive Branch and Congress, anticipating major conflicts to come in 1992.
