The admission occurred during the reporting window between 2:06 AM and 3:36 AM UTC, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing political crisis. This development follows intense debate and political maneuvering surrounding previous vacancy attempts. The motion's admission signifies that Congress will proceed with further deliberation on the accusations against President Boluarte. Details regarding the specific accusations driving this latest motion were not immediately available from the source. Previous reports indicated that earlier vacancy motions accused President Boluarte of incompatible negotiation and abandoning her post, with some signatories also questioning her performance in security and governance.
