Peru: Political parties announce support for vacancy motion to remove Dina Boluarte from office

teleSUR English

In Peru, political parties that once supported President Dina Boluarte have now declared their backing for a congressional motion to remove her from office. The decision marks a dramatic collapse of her governing coalition, citing her “permanent moral incapacity” to address escalating public insecurity and organized crime. This shift leaves Boluarte in a state of extreme political fragility, with virtually no support in Congress. The vacancy motion, seen as a direct response to the deepening crisis of legitimacy and governance, is expected to be debated and voted on in the coming days.  #teleSUREnglish #PeruCrisis #DinaBoluarte #VacancyMotion #PoliticalShift #CongressionalDebate #GovernanceCrisisPeru
