(ANSA) - LIMA, 12 OCT - The Parliament of Peru last night voted with a large majority its confidence in the new government led by Prime Minister Walter Martos, thus putting an end to a tug-of-war waged for weeks with the Peruvian president Martin Vizcarra. The news agency Andina in Lima writes today.
    At the end of a debate that lasted 12 hours, the agency adds, the approval for Prime Minister Martos and his 19 ministers came with 115 votes in favor, five against and four abstentions.
    The new government was sworn in by the head of state on August 6, and had 30 days to appear in parliament to gain confidence.
    Two days earlier, the Legislative Assembly had surprised another government proposed by Vizcarra led by Prime Minister Pedro Cateriano, generating a serious crisis between the executive and the legislative, aggravated by the emergency existing in Peru for Covid-19. A tension, however, definitively defused by the vote of the last night. (ANSA).
