Apparently Pedro Castillo has decided to dissolve congress amidst parliamentary sessions regarding Castillo's resignation. It's no secret that Castillo's presidency has been bombarded by no-confidence motions since day one, with a virtually paralized congress, Castillo has been cornered and moved towards dissolving congress, however the peruvian congress has decided to ignore the coup and is moving forward with deciding Castillo's resignation. Also Castillo's initiative to form a new constitutional congress has no popular supoport. Peru Libre's leader Vladimir Cerrón has called Castillo's coup a "precipitated" decision. Seems like it's over for Castillo, I don't see his presidency surviving this one.
edit: rumor on the grapevine is that Castillo is seeking refuge on Mexico's embassy.
edit edit: Castillo has been arrested by Lima police. VP Dina Boluarte will succeed Castillo.
My guess, the armed forces forced him to do this. So they could put the fujimorists/neoliberals in power.
It's a shame really, i saw some pro-castillo protests in lima on tv, but nothing big enough to do something.
This also comes as Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was also found guilty of corruption. Just massive losses for the pink wave all around.
