Peru’s Congress Begins Debating Removal of President Jeri

Feb 17 (Reuters) – ⁠Peru’s ⁠Congress on ⁠Tuesday began ​a debate in ‌which they will ‌discuss ⁠whether ⁠to remove President Jose Jeri ​after just four ​months in office, following ⁠a ⁠scandal over ⁠undisclosed meetings ​with a Chinese businessman.

If ​a ⁠simple majority approves Jeri’s ⁠removal, his successor would become the ⁠Andean nation’s eighth president in as many years, making Jeri the third consecutive ⁠president to be removed from office.
