Peru’s Congress impeaches President Dina Boluarte , José Jerí sworn in as interim leader
Boluarte was summoned to appear before Parliament just before midnight to defend herself but did not show up, prompting lawmakers to proceed with the vote. In a near-unanimous decision, 124 legislators voted in favor of impeachment, with no votes against the motion.
