(CNN Spanish) -
The Peruvian Congress approved the vacancy of the presidency: Pedro Castillo is no longer president of the Republic.
This comes after Castillo temporarily dissolved Congress and asked to call elections before the scheduled hearing on the vacancy motion.
Congress in any case held the hearing and the vote had enough votes for the vacancy.
Pedro Castillo dissolved the Peruvian Congress unconstitutionally, according to the consensus of constitutional analysts in that country.
Part of his cabinet and other senior officials resigned and denounced that the president has perpetrated a coup d'état.
Several congressmen and the media also accuse him of this.
