Nobody can trust somebody who unilaterally tries to desolve Congress.
The denunciation of the move was swift with his own Vice-President Dina Boluarte accusing Castillo of staging a coup dtat.
Within hours of his announcement his own party have dismissed the president along with the support of the opposition and senior government officials.
The action set off a chain of resignations in reaction to the announcement by Castillo, a leftist outsider who came to power barely a year ago.
Castillo, who was facing the third impeachment, took the action hours before he was due to face Congress. The deputies ignored the presidents actions and voted by a large majority of 101 to impeach him.
In his televised announcement Castillo said he intended to call elections as soon as possible, within a period of less than nine months, but that in the meantime the country would be governed by decree.
He said that he was responding to the demands of citizens and that he has taken the decision to establish the rule of law and democracy. He said it was therefore necessary to temporarily dissolve the Congress of the Republic.
Crazy Extreme Leftist who thinks he can take over a country.
