Peruvian President Pedro Castillo swore in the fourth Cabinet of his half year in office Tuesday amid criticism for his poor previous choices for ministers and even calls by his rivals to step down.
His third Cabinet lasted just three days and was led by Héctor Valer, who resigned following revelations that he once faced domestic violence allegations.
Castillo named Aníbal Torres, his former justice minister, as the new Prime Minister to replace Valer. Torres has been in favor of sending former President Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000) to a common prison to serve out his 25-year sentence instead of his current special prison. Mr. Fujimori is the father of Mr. Castillo's rival, former presidential candidate Keiko Fujimori.
