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.
