Peru President Merino Resigns Following Street Protests by Johnrake69: 9:17am On Nov 16, 2020 |
Peru President Merino Resigns Following Street Protests Peru’s President Manuel Merino resigned Sunday, just five days after taking office, sparking celebrations in the capital Lima following street protests against him and the ousting of his popular predecessor. “I want to let the whole country know that I’m resigning,” Merino said in a televised address, a day after a police crackdown on protesters left at least two people dead. Merino, 59, resigned shortly after a crisis session of Congress called on him to quit power before 6:00 pm (2300 GMT) or face censure. Congress is expected to appoint a new president — the South American country’s third in a week — in a new session called for 6:00 pm. Thousands have taken to the streets in days of protests against Merino following the ouster of his predecessor Martin Vizcarra, who was impeached on corruption allegations on Monday. Congress’ ultimatum came after the health ministry said two protesters were killed on Saturday during a massive and peaceful march in Lima, which was repressed by police firing shotgun pellets and tear gas. Merino said that in order to avoid a “power vacuum” the 18 ministers he swore in on Thursday would temporarily remain in their posts, though almost all had resigned in the wake of Saturday’s deadly protest. The resignation was greeted by noisy celebrations in Lima, with demonstrators taking to the streets sounding horns and banging pots.

This can’t happen in Nigeria because there are over 500 tribes in one country. The multiple tribes is not the problem but everybody love to have their people in power. Imagine if Nigeria is not divided among 3 tribes as in if other tribes have a voice too. ![]() |

We're not yet serious in this country. When the condition becomes unbearable for us we will hit the street. Nobody will wait for a fraudulent election to chase away these vagabonds in power. We're talking about increase in PMS coupled with high cost of food commodities and same useless government is planning another increment in vat |

sammy329: Trump is just an educated version of Buhari. What I want is irrelevant. My position remains that any incompetent government should not be allowed to remain in power. |
