The Congress of Peru initiated a motion of censure against interim president José Jerí on October 16th, 2025, within the reporting window ending at 11:36 PM UTC. Jerí is accused of holding office without ethical legitimacy and facing serious complaints that exacerbate the ongoing institutional crisis in Peru. The motion was formally presented during the three-hour reporting window, according to reports from UHN Plus. This action follows the dismissal of the previous president, an event that has deepened the country's political instability. The specific nature of the "serious complaints" against Jerí has not been detailed in the initial reports. José Jerí assumed the interim presidency after the removal of President Boluarte, a transition that has been met with significant political challenges. The censure motion signifies further division within Peru's governmental structure as it grapples with its leadership crisis.
