Peru’s president seeks early elections to end ‘institutional crisis’ 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PressePeruvian President Martin Vizcarra suggested Sunday cutting short his term in office for early elections to end what he called an institutional crisis. He said in a speech to Congress this would also involve cutting short the term of the legislature. The president said his idea would need to be passed by the opposition-controlled legislature, and then approved in a referendum. “The voice of the people must be heard,” Vizcarra told lawmakers, as some cheered him and others yelled insults.
