2018 Referendum | What does the question about the immediate re-election of members of Congress imply?

One of the constitutional reforms that the government of Martin Vizcarra for the 9 December referendum is the one that establishes the immediate re-election of Congress members.

In this regard, it was pointed out that the number of Congress members who are re-elected in our country is one of the lowest in the region and that, nevertheless, this reform is being proposed in response to another restriction put in place by the government of Ollanta Humalaas the political analyst points out Caesar Campos.

"The founding of the Vizcarra government is based on a provision passed by the Humala majority by banning the re-election of governors and regional mayors, which had to be changed instead of banning the re-election of Congress members. the constant exercise of the commission of acts of corruption, "he said.

The political analyst Juan de la Puente He also considers that there are other solutions to meet the citizens' request to renew the Congress of the Republic.

"In principle, one of the characteristics of parliamentarism is historically the possibility of reelection or, in some cases, the possibility of a third or a half renewal." I think that non-re-election, in the context of incomplete reform, could be a risk, "he warned.

Moreover, the non-re-election of members of Congress does not guarantee the arrival of better cadres in Parliament and, on the contrary, promotes in all points a poorer legislature, warns the analyst. Caesar Campos.

"The danger is that we would probably have more dubious people." Secondly, it does not strengthen the political parties, because the organizational system of the political movements that they postulate is not changed and, thirdly, we will have a rather poor parliament. the intellectual point of view and experience, "he says.

The political analyst Juan de la Puente He also points out that the approval of the other political reform proposed in the referendum makes this reform even more dangerous.

"If we consider that bicamerality can not be approved, we will have a system in the future in which there will be no reelection and there is only one room, which could be a risk for the political system, "he said.

It now remains less than two weeks to organize the referendum. Are you in time to fully inform yourself of the consequences of the constitutional reforms involved in the four referendum questions?
