Fujimori Ally Ousted From Post

Peru’s opposition ousted President Alberto Fujimori’s stalwart head of Congress from her post and released a new video showing the president’s fugitive former spy chief calling the shots with the military. The video was released after Fujimori was criticized for abruptly leaving the escalating political chaos behind and flying to a trade summit in Brunei. The opposition accused Fujimori’s key ally, Congress President Martha Hildebrandt, of blocking investigations of former spymaster Vladimiro Montesinos. The censure vote could open the way for the opposition to begin moves to eject Fujimori on the grounds of “moral unfitness.”
