This is a little different than your average South American change-of-command story, though. Usually, those spur-of-the-moment administration oustings are more in the form of uprisings or military takeovers, oftentimes with bullets, bloodshed, and the streets packed with pissed-off peasants registering either their contempt or their support for one side or the other.
Not so in this instance, thankfully, although the president in office who was summarily removed probably didn't have enough time to become an emotional favorite of anyone.

​

José Jerí got the office the same way he is being forced to leave - through his predecessor's removal this past October.
Hard to build a lasting legacy with only four months in office.

Peru’s Congress voted on Tuesday to impeach President José Jerí after he failed to disclose meetings with Chinese businessmen who were under government scrutiny, the latest upheaval in a country that has cycled through leaders with striking speed.​

It also seems to be a bit of a challenge to keep a president's gig in Peru once you get it, but it sure would help if, once you did, you followed the rules. They're not that hard.

​

~Snip~
The next batter up as interim president until the election settles out will also come from Congress, as Jerí did. There are four candidates vying for the truncated term, two from each party, conservative and left-wing. Voting for the new president is scheduled to start this evening.
Unless they are truly outrageous criminals, whoever triumphs should be able to finish out their tiny term before the local TV station can get any undercover video on them ready.
Then again, I'm not selling anyone short.


Commentary:
These are presidents in name only - more like parliamentary prime ministers, who serve at the pleasure of their cabinets instead of the other way around.
Peru actually is “below the Equator”, unlike Venezuela. AOC should be impressed.

You think it's only liberals having meetings with Chinese businessmen?

Trump literally had a Chinese bank account.

Trump maintains bank account in China, says NY Times

The US president, who sparked a trade war with Beijing, is critical of US firms doing business in China.

www.bbc.com

"Trump maintains bank account in China, says NY Times"

"The Chinese bank account has paid out $188,561 in local taxes."

"The newspaper's previous reports show he paid $750 (£580) in US federal taxes in 2016 and 2017, when he became president."

21 October 2020

Full list of Trump's foreign bank accounts

Former President Donald Trump had long fought to keep his tax returns under wraps, but on Friday, several years of filings were released.

www.newsweek.com

""Trump had bank accounts in China while he was in office until 2018," Goldman wrote in a tweet. "Generally, you only have bank accounts in a foreign country if you are doing transactions in that country's currency. What business was Trump doing in China while he was President?""

Wow, you'd really go to that strawman again?
Tell us about the rags to riches stories of the Clinton's and Obama's.
Then there's the Biden family with diamonds and out right payoffs from China to Hunter....
The Obamas, while not from absolute poverty, grew their wealth from middle-class beginnings to a multimillionaire, post-presidency fortune (estimated in the tens of millions) largely through massive, multi-book deals, lucrative public speaking, and a high-profile Netflix production partnership. Their wealth significantly increased following their White House years.
Key Allegations: Investigators uncovered evidence that agents of China sought to direct funds from foreign sources to the DNC, violating laws that prohibit non-citizens from donating to U.S. political campaigns.
Legal Defense Funds: While private legal defense funds raised and paid out about $7 million, the couple still owed several million dollars personally upon Bill Clinton's departure from office.

Strawman huh? Sounds like you can't actually talk about this.

I haven't said Biden family didn't do business with China. I'm saying that Trump does.

You didn't say Trump doesn't.

So I guess we're on the same page.
