First modification:
In Peru, President Pedro Castillo will face what would be his second impeachment motion since he took office on July 28, 2021. The motion is promoted by Jorge Montoya, a congressman from the Popular Renovation party, who began collecting the necessary signatures to take the petition to Congress as a result of the alleged revelations of the businesswoman Karelim López, who affirmed that President Castillo would be involved in acts of corruption.
For the motion to reach a first instance, that is, for its presentation to Congress, the signatures of 26 legislators and 52 votes are necessary to start a debate in the framework of a political trial.
Later, if 87 of the 130 members of the Congress of the Republic vote and support the motion, President Castillo would be removed from office. So far, four opposition parties with 53 seats in the legislature have said they support the motion.
Attention in Peru is also focused on the presentation of the full cabinet led by Aníbal Torres, president of the Council of Ministers of Peru, to request a vote of confidence by Parliament. This would be the fourth cabinet in seven months of government and the third to request the confidence of Parliament.
In this edition of El Debate we take a look at the political situation in Peru from the hand of our guests:
– Alexandra Ames, political scientist.
– Luciano López, political analyst, constitutionalist and professor at the law schools and postgraduate schools of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.
