Prime Minister Gustavo Adrianzén expressed concerns about the potential consequences of a censure motion against him. He highlighted that if he is censured and his successor fails to obtain a confidence vote from Congress, President Dina Boluarte would have the constitutional power to dissolve Congress.
Adrianzén emphasized the constitutional provision allowing the president to dissolve Congress under specific circumstances, especially if there is a failure to secure a confidence vote for the succeeding Prime Minister. He noted that this scenario is particularly relevant given that the current situation is not in the final year of the presidential term.
These statements come amidst parliamentary consideration of censure motions against Adrianzén, fueled by recent events such as the killing of 13 miners in Pataz. Adrianzén expressed hope that his explanations will prevent such actions, intending to engage in dialogue with parliamentary leaders to prevent a government crisis.
