LIMA, Feb 13 – Peru’s Congress will debate on Tuesday a motion to remove President Jose Jeri, congressional leader Fernando Rospigliosi said on social media on Friday.

The move comes as the government faces mounting pressure over reports that Jeri held undisclosed meetings with a Chinese businessman, fueling a political scandal.

Jeri, a former head of Congress, was sworn in as president in October after lawmakers convened an emergency session to remove his predecessor amid political turmoil.

The upcoming debate underscores ongoing instability in Peru’s political landscape, where successive administrations have struggled to maintain public trust and legislative support.
