President Francisco Sagasti took oath to the members of his cabinet on Wednesday, led by the constitutional lawyer Violeta Bermúdez. The new Cabinet is made up of eight women and 10 men, something that was highlighted by various analysts. In the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC, in Spanish) Eduardo González Chávez assumed, who was already vice minister of that portfolio between last August and October. Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court (TC, in Spanish) this Thursday will discuss the scope of the presidential vacancy due to permanent moral disability. Its decision could lead to an invalidation of the vacancy of former president Martín Vizcarra on Monday 9. The gradual normalization of the Peruvian political situation led to an improvement in financial indices.
