Peru’s Congress has scheduled a vote Oct. 31 on whether to start impeachment proceedings against President Martin Vizcarra and on a law that would allow pension withdrawals.

The impeachment motion filed earlier this week represents the legislative chamber’s second attempt at removing Vizcarra in five weeks. The head of Congress, Manuel Merino, announced the date late Friday.
