Pedro Castillo

Pedro Castillo is a former President of Peru who was removed from office by Congress. He is mentioned in recent news articles because the current President, Jose Jeri, has also been removed from office by Congress due to corruption allegations. Jeri's removal highlights a pattern of political instability in Peru, with multiple presidents, including Castillo and Dina Boluarte, facing similar fates. While Castillo is not directly involved in the current situation surrounding Jeri, his prior removal provides context for the ongoing political turmoil and the ease with which the Peruvian Congress can impeach and remove presidents. The news articles focus on Jeri's removal and an attack on an informal mine, but Castillo's name serves as a reminder of the country's recent history of presidential impeachments.
