Martin Vizcarra, president of Peru, has disbanded the congress as part of his campaign against corruption

Peruvian President Martin Vizcarra has disbanded the congress in a move his opposition warns could lead to a coup d'ètat.

This, Mr. President, is a coup d'ètat

The dissolution of the Peruvian congress came only hours after the congress voted to bring a new bunch of magistrates to the Constitutional Tribunal. Vizcarra disagreed with this move. The Constitutional Tribunal decides which laws violate the constitution. The congress is controlled by the Popular Force party, still loyal to former president Alberto Fujimori. Fujimori was sent to prison for 25 years on charges of corruption and human rights violations. Fujimori's daughter, Keiko, was imprisoned on charges of corruption, which she denied.
