Peru has a female president for the first time, after ex-president Pedro Castillo was impeached - hours after he tried to dissolve parliament.

Dina Boluarte - previously the vice-president - was sworn in after a dramatic day in Lima.

Earlier in the day, Mr Castillo had said he was replacing Congress with an "exceptional emergency government".

But lawmakers ignored the announcement, and in an emergency meeting impeached the president.

I don’t know anything about either of these people. Is the new president a hard core socialist, or somewhat moderate?

Politicians can be removed.

Well, we had/have a much bigger problem(s) in the U.S., and nobody has done anything about it.

Biden and democrats stole the 2020 election, and they’re still there. “Our” president also refuses to enforce the border laws. A thief and dereliction of duty. What could be bigger grounds for removal?

Perhaps the Peruvians can show us how to do things.

Some.

But just try to remove Chris Wray in this country, and see how far you get.

They never seem to learn, then they flee as economic migrants to here, only to repeat all over again that which made them economic migrants in the first place. It seems only the cubans try to break the cycle which is apparently why Bidung spends so much resources deporting them and only them

Amazing that a lazy leach with daddy issues and hatred of hardworking successful people is still ruining people's lives.

The ousted one is a hardline communist like Morales and Chavez.
