Peru President expects lawmakers to submit confidence vote

12:24 | Tacna (Tacna region), Jun. 3.

President Martin Vizcarra on Monday affirmed he expects lawmakers —who represent Peruvian citizens' will— to give his cabinet the vote of confidence in order to proceed with the political reform proposed by his administration.

In this sense, the Head of State informed the Ministerial Cabinet —led by Prime Minister Salvador del Solar— will appear before Parliament on Tuesday to support the confidence vote requested to legislators days ago.

Last week, President Vizcarra announced his administration's decision to submit a confidence motion to Congress regarding State policies aimed at strengthening institutions and fighting corruption in the Inca country.

On Thursday, Del Solar arrived at Congress headquarters to present the corresponding document.

The Peruvian Constitution allows an acting President to close Congress and call for new legislative elections if Parliament dismisses two cabinets.

As is known, the current Congress had already granted a no-confidence vote to a former cabinet in September 2017. At that time, Mr. Vizcarra was serving as Vice-President.
