Peruvian Congressman Calls for Prime Minister's Censure and Police Chief's Resignation Lima, Peru – In a significant development in Peruvian politics, Congressman Jaime Quito of the Socialist caucus has announced that he has secured enough votes to successfully censure Prime Minister Gustavo Adrianzén. This statement was made during an interview with Sol TV, a prominent news outlet in northern Peru. The interview also covered Quito's demand for the resignation of Police Commander Víctor Zanabria, who is currently under investigation by the Peruvian Fiscalía (Public Prosecutor's Office) for suspected ties to illegal mining activities in the Arequipa region.
