Conversations about the procedures and decisions that sustain legislative and regulatory work.
A conversation about institutional memory, the legislative agenda and the practices that determine which laws advance.
Diego Rebaza Díaz
César Ponce Cortez
First edition
There is a conversation that does not always have a place. Every day, networks and publications discuss what is approved and what is rejected, but rarely the technical detail or the daily experience of those who follow legislative and regulatory activity: the procedures, methods, deadlines and formalities on which, in practice, whether a rule works or not depends.
This observation is not ours. We gathered it through conversations with clients and people in the private sector who do this work. The same thing kept appearing: extensive analysis of current events and very little space for what happens underneath.
Stories wants to be that space. A public, deliberative and accessible forum where people who closely follow public policy and changes to the regulatory framework can share their perspective and compare it with others from different parts of civil society. It is intended for those who go beyond the political soundbite and critically analyse the effects of a decision on the procedures, methods, technical work and formalities of a specific process.
A space like this works only with the support of those of you who experience every day what it means to understand legislative and regulatory changes in depth. That is why Stories is different from the rest of Parlamento.ai: it is not a place to discuss our products or state the position of a company or other actor, but a place for learning and conversation about the procedures themselves.
In this first edition, we wanted to show how professionals with different backgrounds understand three issues shaping Peru today: bicameralism, regulatory change and the use of artificial intelligence. We thank Darwin Pardavé, Diego Rebaza and César Ponce for agreeing to take part in this first issue.
