PERU: Kuczynski government under pressure

Peru’s communications & transport minister, Vice-President Martín Vizcarra, was due to appear before the opposition-controlled congress on 16 March to answer questions about the government’s addendum to a 2014 concession contract for the new Chinchero airport project. At the last minute, the session was cancelled, so that congress could instead address Peru’s continuing weather-related emergencies, including flooding and landslides. Vizcarra got a temporary reprieve but his future remains uncertain. Rumours are strong, moreover, that a mini cabinet reshuffle is in the offing, as Kuczynski seeks to revive public support and investor enthusiasm for his struggling minority government.
