Peru's Vice President Dina Boluarte on Wednesday denounced a "coup d'etat" after President Pedro Castillo said he would dissolve Congress and put in place an emergency government that would rule by decree.
"I reject Pedro Castillo's decision to break the constitutional order by dissolving Congress. It is a coup d'etat that aggravates the political and institutional crisis" in the country, Boluarte wrote on Twitter.
