Peru President Pedro Castillo appointed three new cabinet members Wednesday amid an increasingly turbulent year of political crisis that’s seen on average a new minister being named every six days.
Castillo swore in Richard Tineo Quispe as defense minister, Wilbert Rozas as environment minister and Claudia Davila as minister for women in the latest overhaul of his cabinet. That adds to a total of 67 ministers appointed by the president since the start of his administration 13 months ago.
