Peru's President Pedro Castillo was expelled, dismissed from office by the Peru Congress through voting

Political upheaval has once again taken place in Peru. On Wednesday, the Peruvian Congress removed President Dro Castillo from his post. In his place, Vice President Dina Boluarte was made the next President of the country. For the first time in the democratic history of more than 200 years, a woman has been made the President.

Explain that Dro Castillo tried to dissolve the country's legislature and set up an emergency government, after which the Peruvian Congress voted to impeach him. 

101 legislators in the 130-member Congress voted to oust President Dro Castillo."The Peruvian Congress has the ability to remove the president and the president has the ability to dissolve Congress, so technically it's not a coup," said Eduardo Gamarra, professor of political science and international relations at Florida International University.

Boluarte also criticized Dro Castillo's actions via Twitter. He said that the law and order in the country has deteriorated under the rule of Dro Castillo. 

Many countries expressed concern over this political upheaval

Mexico's Foreign Affairs Secretary Marcelo Ebrard said via Twitter that in view of recent events in Peru, Mexico has decided to postpone the Pacific Alliance summit scheduled for December 14 in Lima. Chile and Spain also took a neutral stand on the matter. The administration of Chilean President Gabriel Boric expressed regret over the political situation in Peru and expressed hope that a democratic solution would be found. 

Castillo told himself honest leader

Castillo came in the middle of the night and addressed the crowd. During the address, he said that there can be no doubt about my honesty. Castillo, the farmer-turned-president, said he was paying for mistakes made due to inexperience. Castillo has denied the allegations of corruption against him.

Let us tell you that last year only, Castillo was made the President. He changed his cabinet five times during his one-and-a-half-year tenure, running through 60 different cabinet officials, paralyzing various government agencies. Significantly, over the past 40 years, almost all former presidents have been accused of corruption involving multinational corporations. 

Peru is stuck in political crisis since 2016

The first president in Peruvian history to come from a poor farming community, Castillo arrived at the presidential palace last year without any political experience. He changed his cabinet five times during his one-and-a-half-year tenure, running through 60 different cabinet officials, paralyzing various government agencies. Let us tell you that since 2016, Peru is embroiled in political crisis.

The Congress and the President are taking turns trying to eliminate each other. Nearly every former president in the past 40 years has been accused of corruption involving multinational corporations, such as the Brazilian construction firm Odebrecht. 

Since 2016, Peru has been mired in political crisis, with Congress and the president taking turns trying to eliminate each other. President Martín Vizcarra (2018–2020) dissolved Congress in 2019 and ordered new elections. That new legislature ousted Vizcarra the next year. Then came President Manuel Merino, who was in office for less than a week. After this, Francisco Sagasti was made the President of Peru until nine months before Castillo took office.
