The Implicit Denial of the Vote of Confidence: A Critical Analysis of Judgment No. 00004-2022-CCAbstract
La sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional recaída en el expediente N.° 00004-2022-CC/TC resolvió el conflicto de competencia presentado por el Congreso de la República contra el Poder Ejecutivo, en torno a la cuestión de confianza planteada por este último respecto al Proyecto de Ley N.° 3570/2022-PE. El Congreso alegó que el Ejecutivo ejerció indebidamente su facultad al considerar denegada la confianza tras el rechazo de plano de su solicitud, vulnerando así las competencias exclusivas del Legislativo. El Tribunal, por mayoría, declaró fundada la demanda, estableciendo que la cuestión de confianza no puede ser utilizada por el Ejecutivo sobre materias que restringen o condicionan competencias propias del Congreso, y que el rechazo de plano no implica una denegatoria de confianza. Asimismo, anuló el acuerdo del Consejo de Ministros que interpretó lo contrario, reafirmando que corresponde únicamente al Parlamento determinar los efectos de sus decisiones en materia de confianza. El fallo consolida la interpretación restrictiva del uso de la cuestión de confianza y refuerza la autonomía del Congreso en el marco del equilibrio de poderes. No obstante, los votos singulares —como el del magistrado Monteagudo Valdez— advierten sobre la necesidad de establecer mecanismos de control judicial frente a un eventual abuso del rechazo de plano, proponiendo un equilibrio más funcional entre ambos poderes del Estado.The judgment issued by the Constitutional Court in case No. 00004-2022-CC/TC resolved the competence conflict filed by the Congress of the Republic against the Executive Branch regarding the vote of confidence related to Bill No. 3570/2022-PE. Congress argued that the Executive had improperly exercised its authority by considering the confidence as denied after Congress summarily rejected the request, thereby infringing upon the Legislature’s exclusive powers. The Court, by majority decision, ruled in favor of Congress, determining that the Executive cannot use the vote of confidence on matters that restrict or condition congressional powers, and that a summary rejection does not amount to a denial of confidence. Furthermore, it annulled the decision of the Council of Ministers that had interpreted otherwise, reaffirming that it is solely for Congress to determine the effects of its decisions regarding the confidence mechanism. The ruling consolidates a restrictive interpretation of the use of the vote of confidence and strengthens Congress’s autonomy within the framework of the separation and balance of powers. However, dissenting opinions — such as that of Justice Monteagudo Valdez — emphasize the need to ensure judicial oversight in cases of abuse through summary rejections, advocating for a more functional balance between both branches of government.
