Lima, September 6 (RHC)-- The parliamentary bench of Peru Libre issued this Sunday a statement where rejecting the declarations of the president of Congress, Maria del Carmen Alva, who asserted that "the people are asking for presidential vacancy," which means a coup attempt against the newly elected president, Pedro Castillo.
