PERU: Leaked audio forces resignation of prime minister
Peru’s prime minister, Alberto Otárola, announced his resignation on 5 March following the leaking of audio recordings in which he can be heard offering a job to a young woman with whom he had a romantic relationship. Otárola’s replacement, Gustavo Adrianzén, is cut from the same ideological cloth as his predecessor and has said he will maintain the government’s focus on economic recovery and citizen security. That should appease the right-wing parties that control congress and which have grown increasingly assertive in recent months – not least with a vote on 6 March that will see Peru revert back to a bicameral legislative system.
