    Censure Motion Against Peru's Interior Minister Falls Short of Votes

    A motion of censure against Peru's Minister of the Interior, César Astudillo, failed to gain enough support in the Chamber of Deputies. Initially presented with 35 signatures, the motion needed at least 66 votes to pass. However, three deputies from the Civic Party Works withdrew their signatures, leaving the motion with 32 signatures, one short of the required number. The motion was based on allegations of Astudillo's 'manifest incapacity for leadership' and 'lack of suitability' for the position, primarily due to an increase in lethal violence and the assassination of journalist Susy Aponte Polo. Despite the motion's failure, debates and discussions regarding Astudillo's performance and potential censure continue among political parties.
