Peru to debate removal of President Jose Jeri four months into his term
AI Summary
Peru's Congress will hold a special session on February 17th to debate the removal of President Jose Jeri, who has been in office for only four months. The announcement was made by Congress head Fernando Rospigliosi. Jeri, who is not running for re-election, faces allegations of bribery and influence-peddling related to a meeting with a Chinese businessman who had previously received government approval for a hydroelectric plant. The meeting, dubbed "chifagate," was not on the official presidential agenda, raising concerns about potential corruption. Jeri assumed the presidency in October following the impeachment of his predecessor, Dina Boluarte, continuing a period of political instability in Peru, which has seen eight presidents in the last decade.
