PERU: Prime Minister resigns amid loss of confidence
With his position growing increasingly untenable, Peru’s prime minister Gustavo Adrianzén resigned on 13 May. Adrianzén was facing no fewer than four motions of no-confidence in congress with more and more political parties demanding his head against the backdrop of a new national strike, on 14 May, over mounting violence and extortion amid widespread insecurity in Peru. President Dina Boluarte announced that she would replace Adrianzén with Eduardo Arana, the justice minister, who will now have 30 days to seek a vote of confidence from congress.
