Perus Congress Votes Against Motion To Impeach President Boluarte

The Peruvian Congress on Tuesday voted against the motion to impeach incumbent President Dina Boluarte.

In late January, a group of Peruvian lawmakers proposed to impeach on the grounds of "permanent moral incompetence." Nationwide protests, the declaration of a state of emergency, the abuse of power by security forces against protesters, and deaths from gunshot wounds during protests were cited as reasons for the president's impeachment.

"With 64 votes against, the plenum of the Congress rejected the admission of the motion requesting the impeachment of President Dina Boluarte," the Congress tweeted.
