said the Government will seek consensus and explain to deputies the measures included in the request for delegated legislative powers it will submit to Congress to address citizen insecurity and El Niño phenomenon.
"We will seek consensus and explain to deputies what these measures entail so they can assess them and ultimately approve them," Vinelli said in an interview with Exitosa radio on Thursday.
Likewise, the government official announced that the Council of Ministers will meet this Sunday to approve the final version of the request for delegated legislative powers, with debate expected to begin next Monday.
He noted that during the first Council of Ministers session, held last Wednesday, a draft request for delegated legislative powers was presented and distributed to all ministers for review so that the final document can be approved on Sunday.
"Yesterday, the Council of Ministers met, a draft proposal was presented, and it was distributed to the ministers. We will hold the next Council session on Sunday, when the final version will be approved," Vinelli indicated.
In that regard, the government official said the request is expected to be processed over the weekend, with debate on the document set to begin on Monday.
The Cabinet member also expressed confidence that it will receive the support of the deputies, considering that citizen insecurity is a problem that is deeply affecting the population.
"On Sunday, we will ask Congress to grant us the delegated legislative powers, and debate will begin on Monday," he stated.
Vinelli explained that the proposal includes, among other measures, allowing the Armed Forces to control the perimeter of prisons to inspect what enters and leaves these facilities.
Regarding El Niño phenomenon, the minister said President Keiko Fujimori will directly lead efforts to address its adverse effects, with primary support from the Defense, Housing, Transportation and Communications, and Agrarian Development and Irrigation ministries.
"The President told us yesterday at the Council of Ministers session: 'We want a State that is present, directly on the ground, with ministers traveling, talking to the people, and resolving their problems right there. That is what we are going to do under the President's leadership," he underscored.
