Resumen
En este caso, se impugna la Ley 31399 en Perú. El problema principal consiste
en determinar si la ley cumple con los requisitos y procedimientos
constitucionales para su aprobación, y si su contenido vulnera principios
constitucionales. También se cuestiona si las restricciones adicionales al
referéndum y la condición de aprobación previa del Congreso violan el derecho
de participación política directa de la ciudadanía y otros derechos
constitucionales y de derechos humanos.
El análisis identifica problemas secundarios relacionados con la limitación del
ejercicio del derecho de participación ciudadana, el equilibrio de poderes, la
participación en la elaboración de un nuevo texto constitucional y el respeto a
los límites constitucionales por parte del Congreso.
Se concluye que la Ley 31399 no cumple con los requisitos constitucionales,
vulnerando principios constitucionales y derechos fundamentales. Además,
viola el derecho de participación política directa de la ciudadanía al establecer
restricciones adicionales y condicionar la convocatoria del referéndum al
Congreso.
Se recomienda revisar y enmendar la ley, asegurando su conformidad con la
Constitución y respetando el derecho de participación política directa. También
se sugiere promover una participación ciudadana más directa en la elaboración
de un nuevo texto constitucional, en consonancia con la democracia
participativa y el interés general.
En resumen, la Ley 31399 en Perú no cumple con los requisitos
constitucionales, vulnerando principios y derechos fundamentales. Se
recomienda revisar la ley y fomentar la participación ciudadana en la
elaboración constitucional.
This case revolves around the constitutionality of Law 31399, which has been challenged by the Executive Power in Peru. The main problem concerns whether the law complies with the requirements and procedures established in the Peruvian Constitution for its approval, promulgation, and content, and whether it violates the constitutional principles of generality of laws and the constitutional amendment process outlined in Article 206. Additionally, the law establishes additional restrictions on the exercise of the right to a referendum, conditioning its convocation to the prior approval of Congress. The secondary issues include whether these additional requirements justifiably limit the direct participation of citizens in public affairs or constitute unjustified restrictions that violate the principle of popular sovereignty enshrined in Article 45 of the Peruvian Constitution. Furthermore, it is questioned whether the law's provision requiring prior approval by Congress for a referendum on total or partial constitutional reform affects the balance of powers and the autonomy of the people in making fundamental political decisions, contravening the democratic principle and the rights of political participation established in Articles 43 and 2.17 of the Constitution. It is also examined whether conditioning the convocation of a constituent assembly through a referendum prevents a more direct citizen deliberation and participation in the drafting of a new constitutional text, thereby undermining the principle of participatory democracy and the pursuit of the general interest. Lastly, it is analyzed whether Congress, in exercising its legislative powers and establishing restrictions on referendums through Law 31399, has respected the material and formal limits set forth in the Constitution, ensuring the coherence and unity of the legal system regarding the exercise of constituent power.
