Martín Vizcarra impeachment

President Martin Vizcarra (left) arriving to give a statement in Congress where he is facing an impeachment trial, in Lima on September 18, 2020. - Vizcarra remained defiant Friday as Peru's congress began an impeachment debate ahead of a vote that analysts say he is expected to survive as his opponents in congress are likely to fall short of the votes needed to oust him. Vizcarra, in power since 2018, came under fire after leaked audio recordings in which he is heard telling aides to hide details from congressional investigators of his office's controversial hiring of a popular singer as a paid cultural advisor.
