Peru Weighs Presidential Ouster, Argentina Races to Replace Espert, Spain Targets Equality Minister

Legislatures are leveraging security lapses and governance failures to force rapid accountability with immediate legal and electoral stakes.

Overview

  • Peru’s prosecutors and police confirmed an armed attack on the Agua Marina concert in Chorrillos, reporting multiple injuries and 27 nine‑millimeter casings recovered at the scene.
  • Peru’s Congress voted to summon Prime Minister Eduardo Arana and the full cabinet to the chamber and Fuerza Popular announced an interpellation of Interior Minister Carlos Malaver.
  • Multiple blocs in Peru filed presidential vacancy motions against Dina Boluarte, with congressional tallies reported to exceed 100 potential votes, signaling a realistic threat to her mandate.
  • In Argentina, the government appealed Judge Alejo Ramos Padilla’s rejection of Diego Santilli as José Luis Espert’s replacement, sending the dispute to the National Electoral Chamber under tight deadlines and a contested gender‑parity rule as paper‑ballot reprints are deemed difficult by election sources.
  • Spain’s Cortes of Castilla y León approved a motion urging the immediate dismissal of Equality Minister Ana Redondo over what proponents called serious failures in the Cometa domestic‑violence monitoring system.
