Last Tuesday the Congress of the Republic denied the confidence to Pedro Cateriano, with 37 votes in favor, 54 against and 34 abstentions, after a debate that began on Monday and in which the premier received accusations of presenting a plan that offered no alternatives to confront the COVID-19 epidemic.
Cateriano’s cabinet had sworn into office last July 15 to replace the one he presided over Vicente Zeballos and, as ordered by the Constitution, required the endorsement of Parliament to continue in office.
