The president of Peru, Pedro Castillo, was arrested on Wednesday, just hours after he announced the dissolution of Congress in a televised address to the nation. In the speech, Castillo had also decreed a “government of exception” and issued an immediate nighttime curfew for the country. The president said legislative elections will be called to elect new members of Congress, who will approve a new Constitution. The message, described by his own supporters as a “coup d’état in progress,” was issued hours before Castillo was set to face his third impeachment vote.
