Earthquake Strikes Lima Amidst Political Upheaval: Benavides' Reinstatement Sparks Debate

A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck Lima and Callao, Peru on June 15, 2025, causing widespread alarm. Simultaneously, the National Justice Board's controversial decision to reinstate Patricia Benavides as Supreme Prosecutor has ignited intense political debate. The earthquake, while causing significant concern, resulted in no reported major casualties or widespread damage. However, the political ramifications of Benavides' return remain uncertain. "This decision lacks the necessary votes and is legally questionable," claims one legal expert. Epicentro TV will host a discussion on these events tonight at 7 pm, featuring Rocío Silva-Santisteban and César Azabache, promising further insight into these unfolding events. The dual events highlight the need for preparedness and underscore the complexities of Peruvian politics.
