Peru's President Resigned After 2 Protesters Were Killed. by obembet(f): 7:53am On Nov 16, 2020 |
Peru's interim president has resigned, a day after two people died during protests against his government. Manuel Merino, former speaker of Congress, had been in the post less than a week. He replaced President Martín Vizcarra, who last Monday was removed in an impeachment procedure over bribery allegations, which he denies. Politicians had called for Mr Merino's resignation after a violent crackdown on demonstrations against him. Twelve ministers from his recently appointed cabinet resigned earlier on Sunday in protest against police brutality and his handling of the crisis. Congress failed to agree a replacement for Mr Merino when it met on Sunday, rejecting a team led by Rocío Silva Santisteban, a writer and former human rights activist. A new list, made up of an interim president and senior politicians from across the spectrum, was being drafted. Why were there protests? Tens of thousands of demonstrators - many of them young - have been taking part in protests against Mr Vizcarra's removal in recent days. They accuse Congress of staging a parliamentary coup. Mr Vizcarra, 57, has enjoyed continued support among many voters for his attempts at reform. Saturday's protests in Lima were largely peaceful but clashes broke out towards the evening between police and protesters. Police reportedly fired tear gas and shotgun pellets to repel demonstrators, some of whom had thrown fireworks and stones. Two students, Jack Pintado, 22, and Inti Sotelo, 24, were killed in the protests I want to let the whole country know that I'm resigning," Mr Merino said in a televised address. There are concerns of a growing political crisis as Peru faces a severe economic downturn brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Peru imposed one of the earliest and strictest lockdowns in Latin America to stop the spread of coronavirus - but has still seen cases rise rapidly. It has so far reported nearly 935,000 infections and more than 35,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University - making it the country with the third highest rate of deaths per 100,000 people in the world. Mr Merino had been expected to retain the presidency until July 2021 - when Mr Vizcarra's term was due to end. Mr Vizcarra has been embroiled in a bitter battle with Congress, which is dominated by rival parties, since he took office in March 2018. He has denied allegations that he accepted bribes worth 2.3m soles ($640,000; £487,000) when he was governor of the southern Moquegua region.

To be honest with you, this one is not worthy of being a president... If you must lead you must have a thick sKin to bullshit of life. Two protesters died and he resigned, did he kill them? Is he suppose to leave his house and go stop them from getting killed? In life there are casualties, why did he not resign when thousands died from coronavirus? Rubbish, I doubt this news, if it's true then he is a dumb fvckers |

It's not only in Nigeria that they play dirty politics. You impeach a president for collecting bribe while he was governor? Not for what he did as president. |

tsdarkside:Jonathan was voted out due to his inability to handle insecurity. just because Buhari is a muslim you want him to remain in power even when you can see clearly that he is not performing well. Who is the religous bigot now ![]() Nigeria can become better if we can learn to judge people not based on their religion or tribe but based on merit and performance ![]() |

OfficialAwol: No. It is a society that doesn't tolerate evil from leaders. If he collected bribe as governor, then he will do same and more as president. Stop tolerating evil from your leaders. Stop making excuses from them. And for the unwise ones condemning the president for resigning, he didnt just resign because of the two dead people. People are protesting en masse for other issues and two people got killed in the process. The humane president has seen his inability to placate the angry people who have somewhat rejected him, hence his decision to leave. Before he left 12 of his ministers resigned. Those at people with conscience. In Nigeria they tell you "the presidency" said bla bla bla and then term you terrorists and charge you to a kangaroo court. This effectively means the people font have any power to resist wicked and evil leaders. When Buhari is done with Nigeria, people will be shocked at the evil the man and his minions allowed to permeate society. 1 Like |

GreyLaw: Sometimes your saving grace líes in the hand of a thief. President Vizcara denied the bribery allegations which is why the youths are protesting his impeachment which they see as politically motivated. There's no completely clean human being anywhere. Donald Trump has been accused of invading tax. An impeachable offense. Putin of Russia has been accused of poisoning an opposition figure. An impeachable offense. PM Boris Johnson has had some questions around his sexual dealings. But these guys have not been impeached. Is Peru a better society than they are? Vizcara impeachment is dirty politics by the opposition dominated parliament and that's why the people are protesting. |
