Abstract

In this article, the Magistrate Eloy Espinosa-Saldaña, who has not agreed with the decision made by the Constitutional Tribunal in response to the request for Vacancy due to Permanent Moral Incapacity of the President of the Republic of Peru, develops the arguments why the request should have been declared founded. Also, it explores the form of government included in the Peruvian Constitution of 1993, as well as the presidential vacancy and the cause of permanent moral incapacity in Peruvian constitutionalism. In addition, it analyzes whether Congress, in the use of its powers and attributions, could interrupt the regular exercise of the President.
