<p>On Saturday, Peru's President Pedro Castillo regretted
the skirmishes promoted by opposition lawmakers, who are
interested in "destabilizing his government."</p>
<p>On Thursday, the opposition benches from the Popular
Force (FP), Popular Renovation (RP), and Move Forward
(AP) parties presented a vacancy motion to be analyzed
by the Parliament.</p>
<p>"Just when today we have worked hard to recover gas for
all Peruvians, certain small groups behind closed doors
come to ask and want to destabilize the Government,"
President Castillo said.</p>
<p>The leftist president made the statements at the
opening of the VII National Meeting of Rural Workers
Union in Yurimaguas municipality, where he announced the
installation of an office to attend to this sector's
needs.</p>

<p>The vacancy motion was presented by lawmaker Patricia
Chirinos, who will need 52 votes to achieve the debate
of her proposal. If agreed, the president would attend a
plenary session to answer a series of questions from the
congressmen.</p>
<p>Among the grounds to remove the rural teacher from his
presidential seat, opposition lawmakers pointed out
ongoing investigation on alleged money laundering,
especially the misuse of public funds by the Junin's
Regional Government in his party Free Peru (PL) 2021
electoral campaign.</p>
<p>"They are not going to teach me. They are not going to
give me lessons of struggle because I come from those
quarries... Why don't they go out to survey in
Yurimaguas? Why don't they come to survey in the deepest
towns?," President Castillo said.</p>
