Peruvian President Castillo refuses to attempt to challenge | Political Issues
The right parties filed a lawsuit in Congress in October, alleging corruption.
Peruvian President Pedro Castillo declined trying to blame, when the Congress in South America voted against his plans to move forward.
The petition, launched in October by right-wing parties, voted 76-46 on Tuesday when protests against the left-wing leader flooded the streets of Lima’s capital.
Castillo was selected by razor-thin in July but saw his own popularity declining between cases of corruption and widespread protests in mining communities.
Castillo’s party, Peru Libre, joined him on Monday, although he has been at loggerheads over his views and is sometimes considering assisting him to step down.
They called for an attempt to seize the wings of the hands.
“False opposition has failed, influence has failed, the blow of democracy has failed,” Peruvian Libre leader Vladimir Cerron said on Twitter after the vote.
The insistence on his removal, with the help of the ousted right-wing candidate and presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori, seems to be gaining traction in recent days after Castillo held talks with various political parties.
Rest room
Prior to the vote, hundreds of protesters rallied in Lima and against Castillo, a former teacher from an agricultural family who took office and promised major cultural change.
“We want him to continue working,” Maria Lazaro Cornelio, an opponent of Castillo, told Reuters. “We want him to keep his word about the things he promised.”
Andres Capelletti, an opponent of Castillo, said: “We, the citizens of democracy, will not continue to allow this person to remain in the State House for one minute.”
“It is the responsibility of Congress to remove him,” he told the Associated Press.
The vote offers a chance for Castillo to retire as prosecutors investigate allegations of corruption.
Three opposition parties on the right wing, with 43 seats in parliament, filed an appeal after investigators found $ 20,000 in the President’s House bathroom allegedly owned by former Presidential secretary Bruno Pacheco.
Last week, local media reported that prosecutors were also present planning to interview Castillo An investigation into two former military officers has reportedly been fired for refusing to promote Castillo’s remarks.
Anti-corruption cases have been rampant in Peru, which has had five presidents since 2016.
In 2018, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski resigned from the minutes before the presidential vote.
Centrist Martin Vizcarra resigned last year after nine opposition parties agreed to file a counterclaim. They cited corruption and mismanagement of the country as a result of the coronavirus epidemic.
