• What's going on with the president of Peru attempting to dissolve congress, then immediately getting arrested/impeached?

Source, plus thread from r/worldnews

Didn't he just get elected last year? The only thing I'd heard about him previously was an NPR story at the time, where he came off as a relatively meek school teacher type running against an ex-dictator's rightwing daughter. Apparently there's waaay more going on with him than that,

A. What led to the congress' multiple impeachment attempts over such a short tenure, and why was this one successful?

B. Why did he think he'd be able to just up and dissolve congress, when he clearly didn't have the police/military on his side?

C. This is a bit broader of a question than the post title implies, but what's the deal with Peru's political landscape that's led them to have five presidents in five years?

[Peru] The president of Congress, Manuel Merino, assumed office on Tuesday after a Parliamentary coup, while Peruvians all across the country are protesting and being brutally repressed by police. #PeruvianLivesMatter trends on Peru Twitter.

Castillo dissolves Peruvian Congress

I knew there was a chance Castello would take the country by force, but didn't expect it to come so soon. Police and military lock down from 9pm to 5am, looks like we are headed to a dictatorship.

Thanks to all those who voted for this /s !
