LIMA - Peru’s centrist president, Martin Vizcarra, on Friday announced he would ask for a vote of confidence from the opposition-run Congress that would empower him to dismiss lawmakers if it is rejected.
Under Peru’s constitution, presidents can dissolve Congress if the legislative body delivers two votes of no-confidence in his government or its proposed policies. The current Congress has already withdrawn its confidence in the government once. “It’s clear democracy is in jeopardy in our country, due to the congressional majority’s actions to take over institutions in order to guarantee impunity for itself,” Vizcarra said in a televised speech.
