Peru president survives ouster vote in Congress impeachment trial
Peru's Congress voted against the ouster of President Martin Vizcarra on Friday in an impeachment trial that heightened political tensions in the world's second-largest copper producer. The opposition-dominated Congress vote fell short of the 87 out of 130 vote threshold for ousting the centrist leader on grounds of "moral incapacity" over alleged links to a case of irregular government contracts with a little-known singer.
