on Friday said she is confident that Parliament will grant the Executive Branch the requested legislative powers to fight crime.
During her speech, the Head of State said the Executive and Legislative Branches, joined by the Judiciary, will act to enforce the rule of law in Peru.
The president pointed out that the intention behind said request is to approve more than 30 regulations to fight crime.
These include measures against criminal actions such as mobile phone theft and robbery for later use or sale.
Democracy
Furthermore, President Boluarte said "Peru is consolidating its democratic regime hand-in-hand with its institutions," including the Legislative and Judicial Branches.
In this sense, the Head of State pointed out that "the work of judges and prosecutors is essential in this task."
Moreover, the top official reminded citizens that judges' main task is to resolve conflicts, adding that they also have an important duty of promoting legal certainty and guaranteeing people's rights.
Mrs. Boluarte also said she seeks to fill a legal vacuum, establishing the possibility that foreigners who are captured in flagrante delicto cases can be expelled from Peru. Therefore, a regulation would be added to the Penal Code, she indicated.
