Sumario:This round table discussion examines the return to bicameralism, a reform that has raised new doubts regarding its viability. Although Peru was governed under this system in the past, the main current criticism lies in the fact that this measure was approved despite its rejection by the population in a referendum, which seriously compromises its legitimacy. The authors agree that this change is risky: it alters the balance of powers in favor of the Parliament, increases public spending, and does not ensure faster processes. Ultimately, this reform does not resolve the main problem: Parliament’s lack of representation, a debate from which the reader may draw their own conclusions.
