Peru: President Vizcarra to address the nation

13:06 | Lima, Aug. 4.

The President of the Republic Martin Vizcarra will address the nation this afternoon, following the decision made by Congress not to grant the vote of confidence to the ministerial cabinet led by Pedro Cateriano since July 15.

The event will take place around 1:30 p.m. 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.
