On October 17, the Constitutional Court (CC) of Peru designated magistrate Carlos Ramos to decide whether the CC is to admit or not the appeal presented by the president of the Permanent Commission Pedro Olaechea against the dissolution of the Congress enacted by president Martín Vizcarra. The magistrate must present his decision on October 29. 

Next Tuesday, Ramos will have to justify, in front of the full court, the reasons for and against Olaechea’s request in order for the CC to decide whether or not to admit the competency claim. If the court proceeds to study the measure, it will have to analyze and decide if Vizcarra acted in accordance with the Constitution or if he violated it by dissolving Congress.
