Peru's vice president was sworn in as the country's new leader Wednesday following Pedro Castillo's attempt to dissolve Congress in reaction to their attempt to remove him from office.
Pedro Castillo was removed as Peru's president after a congressional vote on Dec. 7, 2022.
Castillo left the presidential palace in an automobile that carried him through downtown Lima and later entered a police station, where his status was not immediately clear. Shortly before the vote, Castillo announced that he was installing a new emergency government and called for the next round of lawmakers to develop a new constitution. He said during a televised address that he would rule by decree meanwhile, and ordered a nightly curfew starting Wednesday night.
The congressional vote called for Boluarte to assume the presidency. Boluarte rejected Castillo's actions, saying"it worsens the political and institutional crisis that Peruvian society will have to overcome with strict adherence to the law."
