Peru’s Congress has voted to removePresident Dina Boluarte from office, hours after a late-night session was called to debate her impeachment.
An overwhelming majority of lawmakers from across the political spectrum approved her ousting on grounds of “permanent moral incapacity”.
In an address on national television following the vote, Boluarte questioned the implications it would have on the stability of Peru’s democracy.
One of the world’s most unpopular leaders, with an approval rating of 2-4%, Boluarte’s tenure has been plagued by frequent protests, scandals and investigations, as well as a surge in gang violence.
Anti-government protests have escalated in recent months amid soaring crime. There was renewed anger earlier on Thursday following a shooting at a concert in the capital, Lima.
A total of 122 out of 130 lawmakers voted for Boluarte’s removal early on Friday, following votes resoundingly in favour of four motions of impeachment. more
Soaring crime in blue cities gets you re-elected here.
“Change” that requires consent of the governing… is SO different.
Was she tutored by Biden, Schitt, Shitmur and Jeffriscary over several years?
Democracy rightly frightened the Founding Fathers. A true unfettered democracy ultimately leads to chaos and destruction. That is why they didn’t set up a true democracy.
Peru has been a mess, ever since Fujimori, justifiably, dissolved Congress. Elections have become meaningless, as every branch of government, and voters themselves, have had a turn in overturning one.
Obama’s “children” taught us what democracy looks like. They were not incorrect. We allowed it to be true.
Riot is the purest form of democracy. When speech becomes violence and violence is speech, violence is accepted public discourse.
Elections are no longer timely enough. Polling replaces the polling place. The logical end of electoral fraud. True democracy becomes perceived democracy, or rather, imposed democracy (the socialists answer to the instabilities of true democracy)?
Chick “leader”.
‘Nuff said.
She looks like CumAllahLa.
