Peru’s President Pedro Castillo announced on Wednesday that he will dissolve Congress temporarily and install an emergency government – hours before lawmakers were due to make an impeachment vote in congress.
In a televised speech from the Presidential Palace on Wednesday, Castillo said he will call for early parliamentary elections to work on a new constitution.
The embattled president, who has survived two impeachment attempts, also declared a national curfew from Wednesday from 10 p.m. local (5 p.m. ET) to 4 a.m. local.
Congress appeared defiant however, beginning its session on Wednesday with lawmakers singing the national anthem.

The Left knows how to exercise power.
The Right, to the extent it even still exists, does not.
The two most important things to give our nation a future are 1) Burn the GOP to the ground; 2) Create a right wing mass movement led by men who know how to get and to use power.
Well, if that kind of talk doesn’t light a fire under the congress to successfully impeach him, then nothing will.
Is a repeat of the so-called Honduran coup of 2009 about to happen in Peru?

I thinking Castillo might be a stealer.
Since so many are here now from those countries, a spillover is likely.
Biden would try that!
Dem’s are taking notes.
This is the kind of stuff leftists do. Power is all that they are about.
They spent four plus years screaming what a threat Trump was to democracy even though he was never a threat at all. It is a fear that is all up in THEIR HEAD because that’s what they want for themselves. It’s why they don’t want voter identification, even though almost all legit elections around the world use them. ‘democracy’ is a propaganda word to them. ‘government’ is just a power structure.
Coup over, nobody supported him
They LEGALLY removed the COMMIE BASTARD! https://www.abc.es/internacional/presidente-pedro-castillo-detenido-sedicion-tras-destituido-20221207210013-nt.html?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.abc.es%2Finternacional%2Fpresidente-pedro-castillo-detenido-sedicion-tras-destituido-20221207210013-nt.html
