Breaking: Peru's Interim President Resigns After Deadly Protests by RomanianNinja: 8:05pm On Nov 15, 2020 |
Peru’s interim president, Manuel Merino, is resigning just six days after the impeachment of his predecessor plunged the South American nation into turmoil. “At this time, when the country is experiencing one of its biggest political crises, I want the whole country to know that I’m presenting my irrevocable resignation,” Merino said in a televised address on Sunday. The surprise impeachment of Martin Vizcarra over unproven bribery allegations triggered Peru’s biggest demonstrations in two decades. The political upheaval could cloud prospects for elections due in April, and further hamstring an economy that contracted 30% in the second quarter because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Merino said his cabinet will remain in place until a new leader takes over, to avoid a power vacuum. Congress will convene by 6 p.m. Sunday to vote in a lawmaker to lead a new interim government, the acting head of congress Luis Valdez told reporters. Merino’s announcement was greeted with cheers from demonstrators in the streets of Lima. Others stood at their windows banging pots with spoons, as they have done every night since Vizcarra’s ouster. Thousands of Peruvians, many of them university students, defied social-distancing rules and marched through the center of Lima on Saturday to protest Vizcarra’s impeachment and called for Merino to quit. While the demonstrations were largely peaceful, there were some violent clashes with police, and two men died from gunshot wounds. Further political gridlock and protests threaten to hamper the fight against the coronavirus in a country with one of the world’s highest per-capita death rates from Covid-19. https://www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-11-15/peru-s-interim-president-merino-quits-following-deadly-protests Cc lalasticlala

Iseoluwani:Too many daft minded children on Nairaland? Expect President Buhari duly elected to resign, because some pdp miscreants that don’t support him are disgruntled? Go and look for a job, to occupy your spare time, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. |

favor914: your name from the back says all. what stops a president from resigning if 1.campaign promises are not met 2. insecurity of lives 3. favouritism of a tribe over another 4. making life difficult without providing alternative. petrol is 170 since yesterday. before you were born I bought petrol at #5 that was when fuel was 50kobo. and it will take one conveniently to ibadan to ore 2twice. seems you failed this year weac. go and read again Arrow |
