Peru leader pushes vote that could let him dissolve congress

LIMA, Peru (AP) — Peruvian President Martin Vizarra is pushing forward a vote of confidence that could potentially allow him to dissolve the nation’s congress.
Vizcarra announced the vote Friday, saying he was acting in protest of a rushed push by lawmakers to appoint new magistrates to Peru’s highest court.
Opposition lawmakers are planning a vote Monday to replace six of the court’s seven magistrates in a move criticized by watchdog groups for a lack of transparency.
