This paper analyzes the purpose, scope and political effects of the vote of confidence, which the Council of Ministers can present to Congress, from its regulation in the Peruvian Constitution. The author also evaluates the content and effects of the reform introduced in the Rulebook of Congress that discourages the use of the vote of confidence and limits its scope. Finally, the paper discusses the judgment of the Peruvian Constitutional Court that declares said reform as unconstitutional.
