Peru opposition parties plan motion to impeach Kuczynski

Bloomberg

Peru’s Pedro Pablo Kuczynski may face a new opposition attempt to force him from office after one party shifted its position and said it would now support an impeachment motion of its own.
New Peru, which chose not to vote in December’s impeachment ballot, told reporters that new information has emerged about Kuczynski’s ties to Brazilian builder Odebrecht SA. Minutes earlier, another leftist party, Broad Front, said it is also seeking support for an new impeachment motion.
The president’s decision to pardon former autocrat Alberto Fujimori three days after he narrowly survived impeachment in December has enraged many and triggered resignations from Kuczynski’s party as well as his cabinet.
