Peru: President Humala defends sacked PM

  • 9 years ago
After Peru's Congress fired Prime Minister Ana Jara and the entire Cabinet, President Ollanta Humala said that Congress acted irresponsibly and that Jara had taken steps to restructure the Intelligence System when no one else was brave enough to do so. Humala has not said who he will name to replace her on Tnursday night. Leftist lawmakers have said they weren't comfortable about right-wing leadership of the move to fire the PM, but on the other hand they could not support a government that has been spying on social movement leaders and pushing for anti-labor legislation. Rael Mora reports from Lima for teleSUR.
