Peru’s President Martin Vizcarra attends a swearing-in ceremony at the government palace in Lima, Peru Oct 3, 2019. — Reuters: President Martin Vizcarra faces an impeachment trial in congress Friday after Peru’s top court rejected his government’s appeal to block the vote, though analysts said he would likely survive.
Congress voted last week to open impeachment proceedings against the 57-year-old president for “moral incapacity” over accusations he incited aides to lie to anti-graft investigators. Ledesma said that meanwhile, “in light of the declarations of political leaders, the risk of vacancy has been weakened and there is no manifest urgency.”
Public support for the president has been evident in opinion polls, social networks and pot-banging street protests. “The bulk of the population would basically just like to turn the page on this incident,“ said analyst Carlos Requena.
