For her part, the vice-president, Dina Boluarte, was satisfied with the outcome of the debate on the vacancy motion against the president, which did not reach the required votes.

Thank God yesterday did not go through Congress, with the vote, the issue of vacancy. And it is not from now but since the election was won, since we went to the second round,” Boluarte told TV Peru.

I think it's time to leave those ideas vacant and so on. It is good that they are opposition, but we want a legal opposition with the Peruvian people, who are committed to the growth of Peru,” he added.

VACANCIA FAILED TO ACHIEVE ITS GOAL

On Monday, the Congress of the Republic rejected the vacancy motion against Pedro Castillo. With 55 votes in favor and 54 against, it was concluded that the president will continue his administration as head of State.
