Congress, where the right has a majority, was scheduled to vote on an impeachment motion for the president for “permanent moral incapacity”, a title that already caused the resignation of two leaders in 2018.
Castillo, a left-wing rural teacher without a political party, had to appear before Congress this Wednesday to defend himself in a process that seeks to remove him, appealing to the constitutional cause of “permanent moral incapacity” to exercise the presidencyfor alleged acts of corruption. This would be the third vacancy motion to which the president would submit since he took office in July 2021.
