Since this morning, Peru has experienced tense moments due to the dismissal of Pedro Castillo. In Peru an impeachment motion debate was underway against left-wing president Pedro Castillo for “permanent moral incapacity”, a constitutional figure that has already led to the departure of two ex-presidents since 2018.
The parliamentary session that was scheduled for three in the afternoon, Peru time, was waiting to vote on the request for the vacancy of the Presidency of the Republic, with which 87 votes were expected, something that was feasible since the opposition It has 80 legislators out of the 130 total.
