Peru’s prime minister resigned on Monday while President Pedro Castillo announced a reshuffle of ministers to “renew” his government team.
Prime Minister Mirtha Vasquez said via Twitter that she was quitting due to “the impossibility of reaching a consensus to benefit the country.” Castillo didn’t give details of other upcoming changes, or whether they would include Finance Minister Pedro Francke, who is popular with investors.
