Lima. El Congreso peruano aceptó el viernes la solicitud para iniciar el proceso de destitución del presidente Pedro Pablo Kuczynski horas después de que el mandatario anunció que no renunciará en medio de un escándalo por haber recibido cientos de miles de dólares de la firma brasileña Odebrecht, en la mayor tormenta política desde inicios del siglo XXI.

Con las firmas de 27 de los 130 legisladores del Congreso unicameral, dominado por el partido opositor Fuerza Popular que lidera la conservadora Keiko Fujimori, se inició el procedimiento para cesar al mandatario por “permanente incapacidad moral” , conforme con lo dispuesto por la Constitución.
