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.
