Peru: President Vizcarra addresses the nation

ANDINA/Prensa Presidencia

14:11 | Lima, Aug. 4.

The President of the Republic Martin Vizcarra currently addresses the nation, following the decision made by Congress not to grant the confidence vote to the ministerial cabinet, which had been led by Pedro Cateriano since July 15.

The event takes place at the Government Palace in Lima.

Constitutionalists and political analysts have criticized the performance of Parliament for not having granted the confidence to the team of ministers.

In fact, they deemed it as irresponsible, as it generates a situation of unnecessary political instability in the midst of a health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Cabinet received 37 votes in favor, 54 against, and 34 abstentions at the end of the plenary session, which began on Monday morning and was concluded early Tuesday morning.
