The problem addressed in this article is the political and constitutional viability of referendum as a mechanism for constitutional change in Peru. This is a controversy that was revived as a result of the proposal of former president Pedro Castillo, which consisted of carrying out a constitutional reform through a referendum to affirm the figure of the Constituent Assembly. Likewise, the constitutional legal framework that generated divergent interpretations has been article 32, paragraph 1 of the Peruvian Constitution, which recognizes that a total reform of the Constitution can be carried out through a referendum. Furthermore, although it may seem like a new controversy, in reality, it is old and this is observed in the different interpretative trends generated within the framework of the Peruvian Constitutional Court, which are contrasted in this article. To this contrast, we add the analysis of this problem based on the analysis of a Latin American case: the use of the referendum in Venezuela for constitutional change (1999). Finally, it should be mentioned that the purpose of the article is to make visible the tensions between representative democracy and direct democracy, as well as to reflect on what would be the most consistent interpretation with the protection of the right of citizen political participation in Peru.
