Lima, March 29. – A few hours after a failed attempt by the parliamentary right to impeach him, President Pedro Castillo visited education and health centers in the central region of Pasco, in line with his stated commitment to citizenship, which he returned to ratify the visit .
At dawn this Tuesday, Parliament finally approved the permanent incapacity vacancy motion it intended to dismiss him, which was not passed because it did not get the required 87 votes. Only 55 MEPs were in favour, 54 against and 19 abstained.
Castillo, who had gone to the plenary hall at the beginning of the extensive session, welcomed in a first reaction on Twitter after the vote that “reason, responsibility and democracy have triumphed”.
