A bit over a year ago Peru elected an indigenous rural schoolteacher - Pedro Castillo - as its new president. He has been a disaster in office.
Most recently he tried to dissolve congress and call for new elections. This dramatic step the constitution did not empower him to take.
The attempt unified the congress against him and he has been arrested. They elected the Vice President Dina Boluarte as the nation's new President and the first woman to hold that office.
People who wish Peru well, in which number I count myself, will hope she can develop an inclusive government that can function and develop popular support. The odds of that happening are frankly not very good.
