This case revolves around the constitutionality of Law 31399, which has been challenged by the Executive Power in Peru. The main problem concerns whether the law complies with the requirements and procedures established in the Peruvian Constitution for its approval, promulgation, and content, and whether it violates the constitutional principles of generality of laws and the constitutional amendment process outlined in Article 206. Additionally, the law establishes additional restrictions on the exercise of the right to a referendum, conditioning its convocation to the prior approval of Congress. The secondary issues include whether these additional requirements justifiably limit the direct participation of citizens in public affairs or constitute unjustified restrictions that violate the principle of popular sovereignty enshrined in Article 45 of the Peruvian Constitution. Furthermore, it is questioned whether the law's provision requiring prior approval by Congress for a referendum on total or partial constitutional reform affects the balance of powers and the autonomy of the people in making fundamental political decisions, contravening the democratic principle and the rights of political participation established in Articles 43 and 2.17 of the Constitution. It is also examined whether conditioning the convocation of a constituent assembly through a referendum prevents a more direct citizen deliberation and participation in the drafting of a new constitutional text, thereby undermining the principle of participatory democracy and the pursuit of the general interest. Lastly, it is analyzed whether Congress, in exercising its legislative powers and establishing restrictions on referendums through Law 31399, has respected the material and formal limits set forth in the Constitution, ensuring the coherence and unity of the legal system regarding the exercise of constituent power.
