The Peruvian press thinks that today's motion to impeach (called a Motion for Presidential Vacancy) will pass with 57 votes, 5 more than the 52 necessary [Link] . 37 Libre members will reluctantly rally behind president Castillo (Castillo's having a pretty open row with Libre party chief Vladimir Cerrón).

The next step for Congress is the impeachment itself, which will require 87 votes. If Castillo were removed, entirely possible, VP Dina Boluarte takes over. If Boluarte were also 'vacated', the President of Congress, María del Carmen Alva, takes command, who would then call for new elections to take place six months later.

This never ends.

Castillo reaping the whirlwind.

24-hour turmoil visits our hapless president. His ministers, one after another, venomously, sometimes violently resign - an "irrevocable resignation" slams our latest minister to depart on Sunday [Link] Now his prime minister, his second in 6 months, rushed toward the exit yesterday, decrying the "impossibility of achieving consensus for the benefit of the country" under her boss [Link] A Fujimori-dominated Congreso, on alert for another excuse to impeach, needn't scour too hard to find one.

Lima province is a first-order admin division that should be here with the regions instead of under Lima region. [Link]
