  "account": "Peru's President Keiko Fujimori's decree powers request now appears to be surviving in a more limited form, covering only public security and the El Niño weather emergency. This compromise emerged after a committee draft had initially advised rejecting the request entirely. On 1 October, a compromise text was announced, limiting the powers to the aforementioned two areas. This decision was reached after the Deputies' Constitution Committee debated the matter for two days. The committee paused on 30 September without voting, but reached an agreement on a text during discussions on Wednesday. The proposal, which draws on contributions from various parties, covers public security and El Niño, including support for farming. Despite initial opposition, major opposition parties have signaled their willingness to accept cuts to the original request. The government has dismissed the idea of a confidence vote against Congress, dismissing it as a \"conspiracy theory\". The exact wording of the compromise has not been made public.",
